Solar Lamp with Motion Sensor (6 SMD LED) for Garage Lighting: Worth the Investment?

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Is a solar motion-sensor lamp with 6 SMD LEDs worth buying for basic garage entrance lighting when there is no electricity in the garage?

It can work for basic entrance lighting, but the thread leans against cheap solar motion-sensor lamps unless you accept limited durability. One user reports that a similar lamp in front of the garage has worked reliably, gives enough light, and the sensor works well [#16727982] Winter reduces charging because of the shorter daylight, although the lamp still charges itself from solar power [#16728169][#16728366] The strongest warning says these lamps are often poor quality: water gets in, motion/twilight sensors fail, batteries lose capacity after winter, and many last only 1–2 seasons [#16732760] If mains power were available, a 230 V lamp would be better and cheaper over time [#16728473]

    Hello, gentlemen, I don't have electricity in the garage and I need some lighting at the entrance, I found something like that

    https://toya24.pl/product-pol-10009947-LAMPA-...NNA-SOLARNA-Z-CZUJNIKIEM-RUCHU-6-SMD-LED.html

    have you had contact with something like this? is it worth buying such an invention?

    I would like to add that I do not expect who knows what spotlights. I just want it to be clear at the entrance if someone passes by.

    How about rain and cold? Does it interfere with operation?

    In winter, the battery is only charged less frequently due to the shorter working day ;)

    Are you charging at home or is it charging itself when installed?

    The solar solar itself charges.

    Not worth it. It's better and cheaper to connect the lamp to 230V. The amount of energy its battery stores throughout its life costs less from the power plant than the cost of another battery.

    PITERRR I know that solar, only you wrote that in winter the battery charges more often and I did not understand;]

  • Cheap solar LEDs fail from water ingress and battery wear

    I do not recommend this solution. All these solar powered LEDs are linden. Theoretically, the housing is splash-proof, but only in the photo it looks good. You can see immediately that the water will get there. Service life, depending on the execution, 1-2 seasons. I have already processed about 3 models at similar prices and everything got soaked in a while and stopped working properly. What did not get wet, it broke in another way (e.g. damage to motion / twilight detection, loss of battery capacity after winter, etc.).
    Maybe these leds in metal housings for a few hundred PLN are more durable.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
The discussion revolves around the viability of a solar lamp with a motion sensor and 6 SMD LEDs for garage lighting, particularly in areas without electricity. Users shared mixed experiences; one user reported satisfactory performance with reliable lighting and sensor functionality, while another raised concerns about the lamp's effectiveness in cold and rainy conditions. A few participants noted that the solar panel charges itself, but winter may reduce charging frequency. However, skepticism was expressed regarding the durability of solar-powered LEDs, with one user recommending alternatives connected to 230V for better reliability and cost-effectiveness. Concerns about water resistance and overall lifespan of solar models were highlighted, suggesting that more robust options may be necessary for long-term use.
