Hey guys,
I'm after a solar porch/sensor light that won't cost a fortune and has decent longevity. Do these exist? Lol
Cheers
Solar Porch Light

Not the prettiest for a porch but this one works great (have it for out front of garage). The 2 settings work well, either dim then full brightness on movement or set to permanent full brightness (no sensor)

Thanks mate. How long have you had it?
Only a couple of weeks so far. It’s fitted slightly under the eaves so only gets sun in late afternoon. Had quite a few cloudy days and no issues (so far) with the charge lasting through the whole night
I've found these to be excellent: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/100-LED-Solar-Power-PIR-Motion-S…
Much brighter than you'd expect. Excellent battery life (has an 18650 cell).
Nice one, the price is good. Have you had them a while? Was just looking at a couple for fathers day. My dads on a farm and was thinking of then to light up his porch
I have about 6 of these around our property (farm/rural) fantastic.
I also have some around our suburban house.
I've had 2 of them for about 1.5 years, the other 4 for about 3 months. All still work like the day I got them.
I just ordered another 4 from this seller: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/100LED-Solar-Power-Light-PIR-Mot…
About $34 for 4 of them - hard to beat.
In some cases I've glued some neodymium (rare-earth) magnets to the back and just plonk them on a fence/shipping container/etc and it's fully installed and removable!
I did similar for down the side of my house where the bins are - magnets, clipped to fence pointing at bins - job done!
I got the seese this week. Haven't installed them yet but they seem to be very bright.

They do. Lol
Cheap as Chips and The Reject Shop sell them.
Bunnings have them, more expensive, for $42
