Looked at the other q&a, but not clear if the solar panel on the top can be reversed, ie, have the pir face onto the drive, but the solar panel 180 degree opposite ?,
By Austin on Feb 24,2020

Please take a look at this video it shows how the panel works, the PIR would be a the front of the light.

Question:

I have a need to illuminate a dark drive in order to be able to reverse out at night. Does "motion sensor" refer to reaction to only body heat or would the light detect a reversing car please? Regards. Andrew Wadsley.
By Andrew Wadsley on Dec 26,2019

Answer:

Yes, it should do this job just fine. You'd ideally want the motion of the car to be going across the sensor rather than directly towards it. The exhaust fumes should help to trigger it as well.

Question:

Hi, Can the pir be pointed in a different direction relative to the solar panel? I want the panel to point South and the pir to point roughly West
By Joe on Dec 11,2019

Answer:

No, the PIR is based on the top of the light, so the panel top part can be rotated but not the PIR. 

Question:

By Nick Jeremiah on Sep 8,2019
