No motion detection though.
no motion sensor.. I have couple of them .. perfect for small jobs where you can not get other lights
They are not on special tho.
What is lumen? Thanks
measure of light output
You must be an engineer
The question was answered as asked.
No he is a dad
Yep, It is important to know the light output. It depends on how bright you want the light. 300 lM =5 w.
how is babby formed?
Not sure, but the other variants say 2W, 120 lumens. Assume it is the same.
Thank you. you give the best answer to my question.
120 lumen will be OK to put above the front door.Actually, I think sharkyoz gave a more appropriate answer to your question
Lumen is the inside of intestine or blood vessels.
Or any tubular structure
What is a search engine? Thanks

Probably good for indoors. Got a local bargain store selling outdoor motion detector light with solar panel and wall adhesive for $5.
Please a link or other details.
thanks.https://pasteboard.co/IXVaJQo.jpg
Store is located in Westpoint blacktown nsw ground floor near the talent quest stage/soul orgin.
Note about half of them rattle when you shake the box.
Might be the batteries or a feature
I got 1 of these. Bright but motion doesnt work.
@Richsta: I tried playing around with it just very hard to switch on. You need a thin object to press the power-hole to press an internal toggle switch. Ended up using a lockpick tool to press it.
When on, the light will turn on automatically when its dark. And if it detects motions it will get brighter for about 15 seconds.
If the box rattles its either a loose 18650 battery which has been hot-glued into place, or you hear the rattling of the included screws for a more permanent wall mount.
Gonna go buy all of them in my local store.
When you but generic or rechargable AAA's, they keep your powrbill down to almost zero , living alone.
How do you recharge them? Don't you cook any food or have hot showers?
Recharge them at work.
Nope, don't cook very often, maybe once a month.
Showers are Gas.

I feel you could still save some more money if you buy one of the head torches instead of buying lots of these.
https://www.bunnings.com.au/arlec-100-lumen-led-head-torch_p…Don't you know any public toilet you can walk to and take your shower there?
@wtfnodeal: I'm across the road from a park.
When I first moved in, I was legally blind and saving up for surgery (60k out of pocket).
The park has a powerpoint, running water, an in-ground electric BBQ; it's quite handy.
I lived for 3 years paying ONLY rent (no water, power, etc).Once I'd had my surgery, i went back to work and connected all my utilities.
I'm now quite comfortable; but yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do.@MasterScythe: It's very wrong you had to live like tis for 3 years, glad to hear you are better now.
@DmytroP: I never thought it was wrong.
I wasnt contributing to society at the time, yet a public park was still able to provide for me, out of the tax payers pocket.
The only wrong bit, was that my surgery wasnt covered by medicare.
Australia didnt recognise the disease at the time (does now) and part of the treatment was adding plastic to my eyes to reshape them.
What's that called when you (apparently) dont have a disease? Elective plastic surgery.
Which means; no safety net.THAT bit was wrong.
Unemployment however paid enough for rent, and to keep saving up.
I find a lot of people feel entitled to more than they need to live these days.
Everyone expects things differently i guess.
@MasterScythe: Surprised medicare didn't pay that 60k to get you back on your feet and productive for the country…
I thought that was what medicare was for!Legally blind to able to work and be productive to the country doesn't sound like 'elective surgery' to me.
Sorry you had to go through that for 3 years, but glad it the safety net didn't leave you on the streets.
All the best mate!Legally blind to able to work and be productive to the country doesn't sound like 'elective surgery' to me.
And these days, It's not. I was just about 5 years too early.
But back then, when they said what condition do you have? The 'system' had nothing they could tick.Can't apply for disablity\surgery if you don't have a condition the government thinks exists.
I learned later, I should have gone to NZ, been covered forever.
Ah well :)
@MasterScythe: Glad to see things (no pun intended) are on the up and up bud. you're right. you've gotta do what you've gotta do.
We moved into a house with Solahart hotwater. It blows my mind. I turned the power booster off to see how it goes. Even on cloudy cold days the water is hot. Middle of winter it gets down to 39C without the booster. So paying for hotwater, you don't really need to.
39°C? Far out, that's what I have our gas boiler set to for a comfortable shower (the kids like it a bit warmer). Might be time to look at solar hot water.
@banana365: Yeah, turn the booster on in July to get it around mid 40's. Other than that, brilliant.
What are your bills like? I've read it's about $350 for an normal household per year on gas storage vs $65 on solar.
I have a friend with Solar and he says the panels are quite fragile? ie. hail, morning frost all break them easily and cost as much as a hot water system to replace just the panels ($1500)
@fufufu: So we only have 3kw solar (not the maximum 6.6kw) and solahart HWS. I have a plug in Hybrid car and drive 90% on electricity. 2 people in house. House is all electric. I made my own evap/ refrigerated selectable ducted A/C.
Summer bill was recently $2 for the quarter. Winter is around $150. Spring / autumn are credits.
As for the panels. Super premium Q cells - 3.8kw installed (at a cost of $17000) in 2012 (along with the hws).They now have signs of dying (they have what the industry calls 'snail trails', basically small shorts ). The panels now output 3kw max. Warranty doesn't cover this stuff. Upgrading to 6.6kw costs more than if I had no panels.
So I would advise anyone not to worry about premium panels or warranties. Just buy the cheapest you can get and just replace them every 10 years.
@tunzafun001: Thanks, so the panels do last 10 years then? What if you're getting this much life because you invested so much in the first place? ie. cheapest panels don't last as long and get damaged easily.
If driving all electric car it seems to be much more worth it as the amount of money you save on fuel each year must be at least $2000?
What kind of maintenance have you had to do in the past 8 years?
@fufufu: We've only owned the house for a year, so no idea of the history. I probably should have mentioned it's 3.8kw of panels with a 4kw inverter, now only giving out 3kw at its best. Still good, but not great. Will likely add more panels and take it to 5kw.
As for warranty, the installing company has shutdown and 're-phoenixed' under a different name. That being said, the manufacturer blaims the installer for over flexing the panel, the installer blaims the transport company and the transport company blaims the manufacturer. No one is responsible. I don't know of any panels lasting less than 8 years, so I think they are all the same.
As for car, yeah I used to spend around $2800 per year on fuel. Now around $500. Car charge offset with not needing to heat water.
He can fill a thermo flask at work and mix it into a camping shower bag at home.
If he makes a tea from the flask, no one would even notice.
How long do 3xAAA’s last with these ? Basically if it is monitoring motion 24/7 then it’s on all the time ?
I have a small rechargeable motion sensing light (different brand, built in battery). That one seems to last a month between charges.
I have a AA version in my bathroom, lasts about 5 months per battery change.
Hopefuilly these are similar
Why do you use it in your bathroom? Do you use it instead of globes in the ceiling?
Yep, I live alone and have a vision disability affected mostly by night and high contrast; so seeing clearly isn't important. I just need to see enough to aim at the toilet, and see the edge of the bath and such to get in.
I have motion lights down my hall, in the bathroom, in the toilet, garage, everywhere.
Basically, after spending 3 years doing it rough, then landing a killer job and being fairly comfortable; I realised I only wanted to spend money on things I enjoy.
I enjoy my sight; so I pay for surgery.
I enjoy my computer, so it gets regular upgrades.
I enjoy food, so the fridge gets to stay.
etc. etc.I don't enjoy lighting; sometimes I need it, but it's not pleasure; so I do all I can to not pay for it.
Since my years of sight left are limited, I work for things I like.
Yes, AA batteries are TWICE the capacity of AAA.
I tend to avoid anything that uses AAA if possible.Most things that take 3x AA's i swap with single 18650's, recovered from laptop packs.
@MasterScythe: How ? If it's a form factor that needs 3 x AA, how would you fit a 18650?
I like the idea but can't see how to make it work for most appliances.
I'm still annoyed that we haven't yet gotten all these appliance manufacturers to agree on a standard USB port for a 'battery module' .
I have 2 x motion sensor strip lights form Aldi - that take 4 x AAA and it's incredibly annoying to have to keep changing the batteries on them as they don't have a D2D sensor - so they come on during the day as well, so they drain pretty quickly.
I'd love to have had a USB input for them and then just used a USB cell or something to feed off 18650s instead..
@jason andrade: Most of my gear isn't in a tight space, so i can just run wires out of the original holder and into an 18650 holder, externally.
they don't have a D2D sensor
If they are the "large" style PIR sensor there's a (remote?) chance it is using a common PIR set up that allows adding an LDR to enable the brightness sensor.
I got the idea after seeing this video:
https://youtu.be/2dxhbXHYEG0One of my sensor lights had the pins; a different one didn't do no garauntees.
@jason andrade: One day we get USB C. Even long time ago Apple released a MacBook with only a C socket. As for the SCA egg no chance to fit an 18650.
PIR sensors don't use much power these days. It's the LEDs that will drain it the quickest. I only have to recharge the flat puck light version every couple of months (not Mi brand but should be comparable enough).
Is this a toolpro light or SCA owned ?
Toolpro is sca.
Thanks Op. Ordered 10.
Not sure where I'm gonna need these thoThought it was a webcam lol.
Thanks OP.
5 units ordered.That's a good deal. Will make use of these so I nabbed 5. Cheers OP.
Also got 5, thanks a bunch op
Not bad. Not super bright but does the job. Quite decent so far for $2. Motion won’t work unless it’s quite dark. I tried it in the car covering my hands and it wouldn’t work. Might have a distant motion thing before it needs to be set off to work as to why it wouldn’t work when I used my hands. Might grab another 5 :)
Just got mine and had the same experience with the motion sensor. Hope it works in the dark but if not still good for $2 and with a magnet base.
Def works well in the dark :)
@Splashtash: Yep, im super happy it only works when very dark.
Lots of cheapies start working at dusk, when led lighting does little but waste battery.
A+ sca; you did good.
Now to canibalise a few (bought 15) for the motion sensor; add a relay and a 'birthday card' circuit; and have it talk to people who wander through my yard…. Hehehehe.
@MasterScythe: It's all pre-built these days into those ICs you can buy.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32760347716.html?spm=a2g0o.p…Just hookup the PIR output to the edge play and it'll probably work.
I did something similar once for someone's birthday so when they opened the box …
Thanks , ordered 10.
Description of this product is that light is two parts. One is the base which is magnetic and will stick to metal magnetic surfaces. Second part is the plastic light casing which has a metal bowl inside, making it stick to the base. Light casing can be swivelled in multiple directions while it is magnetised to the base.
Example of use might be to (magnet) stick on side of fridge for middle of the night food craving. No need for overhead kitchen light.
^^ This guy snacks
Second part is the plastic light casing which has a metal bowl inside
I bought "only" 4 of these because of the shape; similar reason to why I'm not really a fan of the new round Mi ones either.
Flat puck ones just look much nicer if it's against a surface - yes I do have one on the fridge atm lol!
Cheers got 6
Thanks op got one just because it was two dollars in reminds me of Hal from space Odyssey.
thanks OP
Got 5, cheers OP.
Are these really weak, compared to the ones we normally see posted for $10-11?
I mean for only $2, but don't really need 10 little weak motion lights all over lol
What's the rated output on the $10 ones you want to compare to?
I have no idea, blitzwolf and the other Chinese brand and everyone says their quite good
It is powered by batteries, free you from socket trouble. The choice of ultra-low power consumption of the sensing program ensures only 0.25mW power consumption when in standby mode. With two brightness adjustments, 0.7 lumens mode can be used for about 12 months, 3.8 lumens mode can be used for about 6 months.
They're bright enough to cook by, shower by, light up a hallway.
Actually rather surprising how good they are.

https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-mountable-triang…Most or all of these use AAA batteries instead of AA batteries. This renders my collection of eneloops useless.
Was tempted but the AAA batteries are a deal breaker for meI had a whole bunch of Turnigy AAA's and a couple sets of Aldi ones (before they went to the crap new ones) but yeah I'm using those so much more than my AA Eneloops.
Ikea rechargables are your friend.
This! Plus if using disposable batteries using AAs is more environmentally friendly - since using less materials to make and package.
Thanks.
The stand is magnetic, the light can be rotated on it.
There are 16 LEDs, they are very bright, enough to wreck your vision if you looked into it for too long.
Cheers OP :)
I grabbed 3!
Just picked mine up. They're quite bright, actually. Happy with the purchase :).
Heads up they come with batteries included, albeit "super heavy duty" generics so be sure to swap 'em out as soon as they start to weaken; don't want to risk and leaky mess!
So for your $2 you can even see how they go without actually spending anything extra on batteries to see if they work for your uses.
Does it detect motion of corona virus?
If you're infected and walk by, sure.
