The lamp load during the day, and turns on hold mode when the brightness down. The motion sensor triggers the ignition of the lamp when you pass within approximately 2.5m. Damage: the light emitted is cold, it's a little spooky. The light output is correct: simple bright landmark in standby mode to an area of 3m radius at full power. A hidden switch turns off the lamp when you do not need it.
Like all devices powered by solar energy, it will install it facing south or southwest facing west .. can work if you are in a sunny area.
I installed this lamp there is little time, so I can not assume its longevity ... but experience, this kind of solar lamp lasts 18 months to two years in permanent installation.
The current price of 13 is correct for this type of product.
