Product Description

XEPA PSO1 solar powered security light is the most cost-effective way to illuminate and protect your home, business, and recreational areas. with its easy setup, requiring no wiring or electricity this light conforms to most of your lighting needs. Simply install or set the solar charging panel where sun exposure is prevalent. Then connect it to the light fixture using the 15-Feet cable. Two highly efficient, cast aluminum lamp heads enable you to get dual direction illumination while ensuring maximum brightness. The two 5-Watt super bright LEDs provide up to 600 Lumens of light. That's the equivalent of a 60-Watt incandescent light bulb. In Auto operation mode, the light illuminates anytime motion is detected within a 160-Degree arc and 50-Feet of the base. The unit resets after one minute of illumination. for longevity of your solar panel periodically clean away debris and wipe down with a damp cloth.

Poor quality product, but good support
I bought one two years ago and it has been working great since and still is. Last Black Friday, I purchased another expecting same results, but it died about 4 months later where the motion sensor works, but lights barely light up. Called the company and they worked with me, sent me a refurbished used one at no cost. installed it, then 4 months later same thing. This was very disappointing so I called them again and they were very helpful in trying to resolve my issue. Another unit arrived and I now have it installed. Let's see how long this one will last.The other interesting issue that I'm now finding out is that the solar panel must have a very S***TY glue in it and is susceptible to sunlight because the solar panels have "cataracts" basically they're turning white blocking sunlight and it's not external calcium or sludge build up. It's under the plastic/glass that protects the solar cells. I can't believe this!! As much as I love the one I have working I would expect the manufacturing process to be solid by now.

I purchased this unit for the side of my house where there is not much lighting for security purposes. I wanted a light that would discourage people from cutting through my yard, but would not annoy my neighbors every time a rabbit ran passed.

This light does not have a sensitivity control, but senses a persons movement perfectly but does not go off many times a night due to animals or moving trees and shrubs.

The light is not as bright as a unit I purchased at my local Lowe's that is powered through my home's electrical power, but it is definitely bright enough to scare any unwanted visitors and helps my wife see who or what is outside the kitchen window if needed.

Absolute piece of junk! Do not buy. I purchased and installed 6 of them in March 2014. Within in a month two had failed. Amazon took them back and gave me new ones but since then both of those have failed plus two more of the original ones have as well.

Tech support thus far is pathetic.

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2014

I think this light is too expensive for what it is. I have had it for about a year and a half now and still seems to work fine, but the solar cell is not high quality. After some time the surface of the cell has turned almost white and I guess it does not work the same. Not sure if I will be able to fix that. Else I will have to get a new cell if that one stops prividing enough charge. Also there are no settings for how long the light stays on or off.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but better value performance alternatives are available including another XEPA model
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014
We purchased several solar motion activated and non-motion activated, dusk-dawn units and motion only units offered on Amazon. We used all of them in similar conditions, on the same property, on the same days. From a performance standpoint, of all the solar lights we purchased/used this one fared the worst of all the units purchased.

We rank this unit as a "lesser value higher price point" item without significant performance/benefit over other units. We purchased/used/evaluated two XEPA solar products 1) XEPA motion spotlight (XEPA 600 Lumen 160 Degree Outdoor Motion Activated Solar Powered White LED Security Light (Model # PSO1W) and 2) XEPA multi-LED panel light motion sense (XEPA Solar-Powered Outdoor White LED Light with Motion Detection (Model # XP645D) both of these are available via Amazon or big box home centers online. Sales prices are significantly better than regular retail price when available.

The XEPA model PSO1W (~$95 Jan 2014) has two aim-able, high-intensity single LED spots of ~60 watt intensity mounted in aluminum die-cast housings. The rest of the unit is in a plastic housing (white or black options). This "off until motion-detect" unit produces light of adequate brightness (upon motion detect) for general area lighting. The motion sensor unit while point-able is NOT adjustable either for sensitivity or lighting duration. The sensitivity of the sensor is fair and has a relatively short detection distance of ~ 12-16 feet. The light duration without continued motion is brief but adequate.

The XPEA Model # XP645D (~$70 Jan 2014) has a single aimable single 15 watt multi-LED element flat panel with aimable motion detection head adjustable for sensitivity and light duration. This "off until motion-detect" unit produces light of adequate brightness (upon motion detect) for general area lighting. The adjustable sensitivity performs better than the sensitivity of the EXPA PSO1W model. The brightness/lighting area effectiveness is similar to the "TSSS ® Wireless LED Solar Powered Security Motion Sensor Light, Wall/Garden Lamp ASIN B00EN72WAM" and this TSS unit at ~$17 on Amazon is the better buy.

We also purchased several VkTech units ("2 of Vktech Solar Powered 3-led Gutter Light Fence Lamp Water Resistant with Switch ASIN Model B00BQ7CV1W) - but it "just doesn't work well" and we're not gigging it for its somewhat cheap, simple appearance - the primary thing we're looking for in solar lights is - *does it perform and provide reasonably adequate lighting capability* - not so much looks. Model B00BQ7CV1W

The three large LED elements in this single (1) AA 1,200 mAh (some units had an 800 mAh marked/rated battery light provided a soft white lighting spot of approximately 2-3 feet on the ground when mounted in a gutter edge at 9-10 foot height. initially after several days of full-day charging, it performed reasonable well when fully charged the 1st night. Subsequent day (night) performance was not as impressive - after about three hours darkness the single AA batteries seemed "spent" and the units didn't put out enough light to be useful. Apparently the solar cell even with full-sun, full winter day exposure appears incapable of charging the battery for the next evening/nights operation of any duration beyond 2-3 hours. if you need a top mounted solar cell with down lighting we recommend (below) the "TSSS® Waterproof Bright 16 LED Outdoor Solar Powered Security Light Motion Activated, Energy Saving 24 months warranty, ASIN B006007E2" on Amazon.

Note: While we highly rate two TSSS products below, we were not so impressed with the TSSS Stainless Steel dusk dawn solar step light sold on Amazon ("TSSS® Solar Powered Stainless Steel Staircase Step and Wall Light dock light,24 Months Warranty" ASIN B00AYWLOM2) - this solar step light needs south, southwest or Southeast sun exposure and provides soft lighting but other products are more useful/brighter). It has `OK" performance lighting level is fair/low.

Recommended alternatives:

In our use/experience the below-mentioned products made by TSSS available on Amazon, are a best value (TSSS is an OEM that produces products also re-branded/labeled with other company names e.g. Frostfire, Swiftly Done, etc.), followed by those of EXPA available on Amazon or the on-line presence of a big box home center that begins with "H".

For top mount solar cell down-light motion activated dusk-dawn dim (high upon motion activation reverting to dim). We recommend the "TSSS® Waterproof Bright 16 LED Outdoor Solar Powered Security Light Motion Activated, Energy Saving 24 months warranty, ASIN B006007E2" available on Amazon Prime is the best unit for application requiring down light with a top-mounted solar cell. This light has a silver (aluminum) frame/body with white plastic bottom diffuser and a large solar cell on top, providing a soft broad-but-effective lighting pattern. The motion detect is not adjustable but really needs no adjustment and is adequate for use, the bright duration I reasonable then reverts back to duck-dawn dim . Based upon performance and design, we assign this a "good-to-excellent value."

For a side-mount side projection light with dusk-dawn dim (with motion detect bright) that have a southeast, south, or southwest sun exposure (but isn't suitable form north facing applications) we recommend "TSSS ® Wireless LED Solar Powered Security Motion Sensor Light, Wall/Garden Lamp ASIN B00EN72WAM" uniquely has a powerful Lithium Ion battery (like in your cell phone) rather than the usual NiMH or older cheaper NiCd rechargeable battery. This light is also available on Amazon Prime. It has a black plastic case and a high quality solar cell. Upon internal inspection it appears well made, and reasonable rain-proof, for the price. The motion detect is not adjustable but really needs no adjustment and is adequate for use, the bright duration I reasonable then reverts back to duck-dawn dim . We assign this an excellent "highly recommended" and "best value."

4.0 out of 5 stars Smarter and works only in the dark .
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2013

Other comparable lights usually come with three dials that is adjustable for sensitivity, darkness, length of light intervals . They are not reliable or easy to tamper with . This one comes without any dials and is automatic from day one. All you need to do is mount it and it charges up until it is ready to go. It is a smart device that gives no hassle ! It only turns on for a minute and add another minute if necessary when motion is still detected . I mounted it rather high at about 12 foot level and the motion sensor needs to be redesigned to be more broadly senstive vertically (up and down) I still think that the motion sensor is technologically dated because it has been the same for decades.. Cant someone come up with a better and smarter motion sensor ?? It has its lmits which irritrates me somewhat. I test it by walking around at all angles and find blind spots even with my arms waving. Maybe extra motioin sensors can be added to narrow down the angle and increase senstivity in parallel or something. I could appreciate 360 degree motion sensors sometimes. as well as upwardly and downwardly. Engineers have to be more creative instead of droning on..

about two years later, the plastic lens covering the motion sensor cracked up or is sabotaged without any replacement that I know of around .. It seems easy to replace but that very common part is not even made widely available as a replacement part even at hardware stores.. What gives? What do they expect them to ..last forever? Nah!

Had been wanting a light on our back gate where it's very dark at night when the sun goes down. Porch light wasn't doing it. My husband bought an 8 ft 4x4 that was covered in white vinyl to match the fence. Both lights pivot up/down and side to side. We have a driveway that goes into the gate so one light points inside and the other out. The sensor works great and with the added value and ease of no electricity required this was a snap. Very bright and does the job we needed.

Normally, I am not the guy who write review, but at this time I have to do. Never, ever buy it!!!!

I bought 3 of them 4 months ago. But All of them died. 2 of them were dead after 3 months later since I bought, and the last one was gone today, in the 4 month, as well.
Not 1, not 2, but ALL 3 of them! This indicates I am not just lucky, but this product is way too far from being in the market.
If you are okay to spend $100 for only using 3 or 4 month, purchase it.
If not, never consider it!! Believe me, I shall regret like me after 3 month if you buy it.
