I recently got my hands on the OKPRO Solar Lights Outdoor Waterproof, a 2-pack of solar flood lights that promise to light up your yard without running up your electricity bill. These lights are designed for outdoor use, featuring a wide 320-degree angle and a motion sensor. They're supposed to be super bright and durable, even in bad weather. I was pretty excited to see how they'd hold up in real life.
First Impressions And Setup
Right out of the box, these lights felt pretty solid. They're made of this ABS material, which sounds tough, and they definitely look like they can handle being outside. The setup was super easy, which was a huge plus for me. I'm not exactly a handyman, so anything that only needs a couple of screws to fix is a win. I put one up near my garage and the other by the back gate. The adjustable arm and panels made it simple to get the angle just right.
How They Perform
- Brightness: These lights are bright, no joke. They really do light up a good chunk of the yard. The 6500k LED beads give off a crisp, white light that makes everything clear. It's great for security, and I can actually see where I'm going when I take the trash out at night.
- Motion Sensor: The motion sensor is pretty sensitive, which is mostly good. It picks up movement from a decent distance, and the light kicks on right away. Sometimes, a cat or a raccoon will set it off, but I guess that's better than it not working when it should. There are three modes, which is nice. I mostly use the one where it dims to 30% and then goes full bright with motion. The remote control works well too, so I can change settings without climbing a ladder.
- Solar Charging: They charge up pretty fast, even on days that aren't super sunny. The product says 4-6 hours for a full charge, and that seems about right. They usually last through the night, which is what I need. I haven't had them die on me yet, even after a long night.
- Weather Resistance: We've had some rain and wind since I put them up, and they're still going strong. The IP66 waterproof rating seems to be accurate. No issues with water getting in or anything like that.
What I Liked And Didn't Like
Pros:
- Bright light: Seriously, they light up a large area.
- Easy to install: Just two screws, can't beat that.
- Motion sensor works well: It's responsive and covers a good range.
- Remote control: Handy for changing modes.
- Durable: They feel well-made and have held up to the weather.
- No electricity bill: Free light is always good.
Cons:
- Motion sensor can be too sensitive: Sometimes it triggers for small animals.
- Size: They're a bit smaller than I pictured, but they still put out a lot of light.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the OKPRO Solar Lights Outdoor Waterproof. They do what they say they will, and they do it well. If you're looking for some bright, easy-to-install solar lights for your yard, these are a solid choice. They're not perfect, but for the price and convenience, they're a good deal.
