Also I find the inconvenient fact that no Batteries are included, because it is precisely C-cells are not exactly now the classics in the household. Especially since needed on the package 3 C-cells are specified, however, ignores the fact that this applies per lamp (as one might logically conclude though, since there are 2 lamps, but still ...)
Inserting the batteries are relatively straightforward. With a 2 cent coin or screwdriver can be relatively easy to remove the two screws and open the battery cover slightly to insert respectively the 3 C-cell. Just easily be the screws back in place by the cover to close it again.
Then you can "click" the lighting unit in a bracket, but this is not really tight, so you have to be careful that the lamp unit does not fall off accidentally again. This entire part you can then set up if necessary on the "Erdstangen" so you can post them on the bed, for example. It must be said that this definitely is plastic in the material, because then hard bottom may already be too strong a stress test. There are also a few (4) small screws and anchors the set in, so that one or similar attachment to a house wall can make.
With Amazon different information is given to the luminosity (15 or 20 lumens), but is either on the packaging and on the instruction manual on the net 20 lumens, so I then want to accept as the correct number the.
The motion sensor responds well and quickly. I think the 12 feet (a little over 3 1/2 meters), which are promised in the product, will definitely fulfilled. The brightness sensor occasionally be very dark, but I feel in principle as well, because you want to already have the batteries a little spare. Only when the quality of light, I was a little disappointed. 20 lumens appear then not to be too much, because the beam is roughly estimated probably only about 1/2 m. So I would to stairs or paths may double illumination (ie left and right) recommend. If you then also illuminate several danger zones, then the relatively fast going into the money.
Our conclusion:
Unfortunately, I feel the material is not as high quality and really have my doubts that it will survive more than one season garden, no matter how durable may be the LEDs also. Also, I find it unfortunate that a mode change (eg "continuous annealing") only by opening the battery compartment and removal of the batteries is possible. As if a switch had been outside but clearly more appropriate, because you do not want to permanently use the glow mode all night, perhaps, since this is going on the battery life.
From value for money, I am then (especially in terms of the material) is not really convincing, as it then but a couple of negatives are some (battery removal for mode switching, low beam, etc.) are for me nervous for a little too much. Such a shame as I had hoped for something more, but I can imagine that if you want to back up only a stairway so, you will be satisfied with the product yet. For our needs, it's just not what I had hoped for.
