Question:

Is there a minimum installation height required for the sensor to pick up movement effectively? For example, we are thinking of mounting them on a fence which is no more than 5ft tall at it's highest point!
By Annaliese Goede on Oct 31,2014

Answer:

You won't have any issues there at all. We've had customers use them at around 30cm above the ground, while this does reduce the detection range, they will still pick up motion.

Question:

What is it about the glow mode? Some people mention that it is always glowing and goes brighter when it is triggered. This is not mentioned in the description and I would imagine that it depletes the batteries quickly. Can I switch this off? I only need light when somebody is there.
By Christian on Jul 31,2014

Answer:

This light no longer has the dim function as it was a big drain on the battery life. It will only turn on when activated by the PIR.
