Perfect for me
Verified Purchase
I wanted one with two fairly independent lights to focus in different directions and angles, which this does pretty well. The output from each lamp is very good. I would have given 5 stars had the build felt a bit more robust, but mine is under cover. Initially the adjustments to lux and time didn't seem to be doing anything but it seemed to need a day/night cycle to sort itself out.

Received this light very promptly and fitted it a few days ago, since then we have not had much sun since but it already had some charge and it is working well. It picks me up from quite a distance when I walk down my path in the back garden and I am extremely pleased with it. I have mounted it on the corner of the garage and so it picks me up either way. I have got it to stay on for the shortest time to save on the charge which is just right and it goes off as I go in the back door. Would recommend. By Ralph on 28th Nov 2018.

So pleased with this solar light. Purchased to fit on the corner of a shed to light up our drive and also the path to the front door. The twin lamps were quite stiff to move into the desired positions but just required a bit more pressure than I was giving. There was even some charge in the lamps when we unpacked the light which made it easier work out where to fix it. The solar panel has a good long lead to the lamp and the panel was also easy to fix up. It is not the prettiest looking but does the job it is intended for very well. Would definitely reccomend.

Good but not perfect
Verified Purchase
Purchased the Shield Twin Solar PIR to light the front driveway. It arrived very promptly and in good condition. I installed it on the front wall of the bungalow using the provided fixings. The instruction were very clear and it was an easy job, as long as you have the correct tools. After fully charging the unit, as described in the accompanying leaflet I switched the unit on and was delighted with the amount of light it gave off.Up to this point everything was absolutely what I had expected. However as soon as it dropped dark, I noticed the light coming on almost continually, so I adjusted the sensor to its lowest position but this made very little difference. The website stated that the sensor would work up to 10m. but vehicles passing on the opposite side of the road were triggering it a distance in excess of the 10m. and that was with the sensor pointing fully down. Unlike many units it doesn't have a sensitivity adjustment and only limited manual adjustment. After speaking to Solar Centre I was advised to put black insulating tape over part of the sensor, not the best solution but it has reduced the number of activations.

Bought this light as I wanted a solar powered light rather than have the hassle of getting a light mains wired, and after reading the reviews. I would say that I am extremely pleased witht the light both in terms of the amount of light emitted, and the ease of installation. If you are looking for a reasonably priced outside light I would recommend this product.

Shield Twin Solar PIR light
Verified Purchase
I bought one of these to light the shed and gate at the end of my garden. It arrived exactly when it was meant to, and it was quick and easy to install. The light is sufficiently bright for my needs, the sensor works very well and it is east to adjust. The lights are adjustable in two dimensions, so can be aimed to light a surprisingly wide area. I would recommend buying some cable clips to secure the cable that runs from the solar panel to the light. The light is well made from robust plastic and seems to be very well weather sealed. The solar panel is quite small and I was concerned that in winter in the UK it would struggle to recharge the battery. But so far (about 2 weeks in early November in Scotland) it has managed to keep it charged. I would recommend this product.

Purchased on behalf of an elderly neighbour who is housebound and has carers four times daily. They access house using a keysafe at the rear door, I had been looking for an alternative to hiring an electrician to mains wire a security light to illuminate the keysafe when I came across this product. It is perfect, just the job, withe the dual light it covers the access and the keysafe. I have been buying from this company for a number of years and can't rate them highly enough. The quality of their products to their customer service is second to none. Well done.

I bought this product to fix to the front of the house, to illuminate when there was any movement towards the front door and garage. It took a bit of time to set the timer, which was right for us, but once done the light is very bright and it works great, and gives a good spread of light. I would highly recommend.

I recently purchased this light to replace an old mains one. The light arrived quickly and was easy to fit. However there was a problem with the sensor and the light didn't work properly. I was very impressed with the customer service offered by the Solar Centre - they responde quickly to my message reporting a problem and sent me a replacement (which works fine) within a couple of days with no quibble. I would definitely use the company again directly rather than go through Amazon.

Good light
Verified Purchase
It provides a good light across the width of a double garage. The unit feels quite solid and well made. The separate PV panel is a good weight so at the moment I have left it sitting on the garage roof without further fastening. Installation was easy. No problem with setting the trigger brightness level or on duration. Only downside is there's no easy way of securing the cable from the PV panel to the light . I don't want to drive staples in to the garage roof. However the separate PV panel is essential as the light is fitted on the north side of the house and I need to have the PV panel facing south. I don't think there's an easy answer to the cable problem. I rang the solarcentre with a support question and they phoned me back very quickly with an answer so customer support appears to be good. The only thing I can't vouch for at the moment is whether the PV panel delivers enough charge to the battery in winter as I've only had the unit for a couple of days but everything is looking good at the moment.

Perfect!
Verified Purchase
I am very pleased with this light. For me, it was a cheaper alternative to hardwiring a security light to electricity, and it works just as well without continuing to cost money! I had no trouble fixing it to the wall, or attaching the light to the back plate (I am a 60 year old woman). It is a bright light, with good coverage. My only very slight frustration is that the motion sensor doesn't quite give a wide enough angle for my liking, given that it needs to pick up movement from two directions. Delivery was excellent - fast, free, convenient, and absolutely no hassle whatsoever. I am very happy to recommend this product, and will be buying from this company again. Thank you.

Good, So Far
Verified Purchase
I bought one unit just after Christmas and installed it. The screws which came with the unit were inappropriate as the bracket for the solar panel has quite large holes. The screws supplied slipped through the holes. So I used my own. As others have mentioned, the unit is not as simple as it should be to locate on the backplate once the backplate is attached to the wall. My assessment of the difficulty is that as you tighten the screws in the backplate to give a firm grip on the wall, the backplate distorts slightly. In the fully firm position the unit would not locate at all. I could achieve top or bottom but not both. I loosened the backplate screws slightly and was able to achieve an acceptable location of the unit but the top clip cannot be located into the unit. It is held in place by the bottom hand tightened screw. This still gives a reasonably firm location on the base plate. The operation of the light is good, very sensitive to movement and adjustable for time and lux. This is not a cheap unit but I think we are all familiar with the ultra cheap solar units which fail over very short periods of time. I am very happy with the operation and feel that it will probably give good service over a number of years. On that basis I bought a second unit and the same comments apply as for the first one. I just cannot get the top clip to locate so I have both units located only by the bottom knurl screw. Both seem secure enough. However, this time more appropriate screws were supplied for the solar panel bracket. A real plus for these units is the separate charging panel and the ability (in my case) of locating them on a south facing wall. As I said, not cheap but my philosophy in life is always that you get what you pay for and I think these are good units which should perform properly well into the future. Also, if it were possible, it would be good if the motion sensor could be adjusted vertically as well as horizontally. My second unit is located on the back of my drive about 20 feet from the road and I do get regular false triggers as it picks up the occasional passing car. I could cut out these if there was vertical adjustment. A good unit which does the job but I have no experience of customer service as I have not had to use them.

Good unit, very good output only downside is installation on a brick face. If the bricks are not absolutely flush where you put the light it can be very time consuming getting the unit located on the backplate and the sprung loaded latch to locate. Not the best design in the world. But great now it's up and will probably buy another.

The light was really easy to install and is super bright and powerful. Installed in the middle of winter at a south facing position and works brilliantly. Good length of cable from the solar panel to the light which is also helpful to find the right location. Impressed and will be looking to purchase the same again once I've used this one for a few months. Sometimes stays on in the daytime otherwise would've been 5 stars not 4.5

Recent purchase of above. Upon receipt I noticed the some damage to the package. Upon opening I discovered that one of the lights was broken and was detached from the main unit. I contacted SolarCentre with photos of the damage and I was promised a replacement, which I have now received and is in perfect condition. The packaging of the replacement was far more robust than the original. The prompt replacement is to be commended. As yet I have not installed the light outside as I am in the process of moving house, tests with it indoors appear to be very good. I will be pleased to give another review when it has been installed outside the new property

Having tried several different external solar lights we have to say that the shield twin lights are without doubt the best so far. The light is bright and powerful. In fact the most powerful solar lights we've tried. The only small concern we have is that we live in North Wales where it has been known to rain from time to time, and the surround of the solar panel is painted metal so we shall have to see how that stands up to the aggressive Welsh climate. Apart from that small detail we would most definitely recommend them.

0 | 0 Purchased the Shield Twin Solar PIR to light the front driveway. It arrived very promptly and in good condition. I installed it on the front wall of the bungalow using the provided fixings. The instruction were very clear and it was an easy job, as long as you have the correct tools. After fully charging the unit, as described in the accompanying leaflet I switched the unit on and was delighted with the amount of light it gave off.Up to this point everything was absolutely what I had expected. However as soon as it dropped dark, I noticed the light coming on almost continually, so I adjusted the sensor to its lowest position but this made very little difference. The website stated that the sensor would work up to 10m. but vehicles passing on the opposite side of the road were triggering it a distance in excess of the 10m. and that was with the sensor pointing fully down. Unlike many units it doesn't have a sensitivity adjustment and only limited manual adjustment. After speaking to Solar Centre I was advised to put black insulating tape over part of the sensor, not the best solution but it has reduced the number of activations.

I would say that I am extremely pleased witht the light both in terms of the amount of light emitted, and the ease of installation. If you are looking for a reasonably priced outside light I would recommend this product.

0 | 0 I bought one of these to light the shed and gate at the end of my garden. It arrived exactly when it was meant to, and it was quick and easy to install. The light is sufficiently bright for my needs, the sensor works very well and it is east to adjust. The lights are adjustable in two dimensions, so can be aimed to light a surprisingly wide area. I would recommend buying some cable clips to secure the cable that runs from the solar panel to the light. The light is well made from robust plastic and seems to be very well weather sealed. The solar panel is quite small and I was concerned that in winter in the UK it would struggle to recharge the battery. But so far (about 2 weeks in early November in Scotland) it has managed to keep it charged. I would recommend this product.

0 | 0 Purchased on behalf of an elderly neighbour who is housebound and has carers four times daily. They access house using a keysafe at the rear door, I had been looking for an alternative to hiring an electrician to mains wire a security light to illuminate the keysafe when I came across this product. It is perfect, just the job, withe the dual light it covers the access and the keysafe. I have been buying from this company for a number of years and can't rate them highly enough. The quality of their products to their customer service is second to none. Well done.

0 | 0 It provides a good light across the width of a double garage. The unit feels quite solid and well made. The separate PV panel is a good weight so at the moment I have left it sitting on the garage roof without further fastening. Installation was easy. No problem with setting the trigger brightness level or on duration. Only downside is there's no easy way of securing the cable from the PV panel to the light . I don't want to drive staples in to the garage roof. However the separate PV panel is essential as the light is fitted on the north side of the house and I need to have the PV panel facing south. I don't think there's an easy answer to the cable problem. I rang the solarcentre with a support question and they phoned me back very quickly with an answer so customer support appears to be good. The only thing I can't vouch for at the moment is whether the PV panel delivers enough charge to the battery in winter as I've only had the unit for a couple of days but everything is looking good at the moment.

0 | 0 I am very pleased with this light. For me, it was a cheaper alternative to hardwiring a security light to electricity, and it works just as well without continuing to cost money! I had no trouble fixing it to the wall, or attaching the light to the back plate (I am a 60 year old woman). It is a bright light, with good coverage. My only very slight frustration is that the motion sensor doesn't quite give a wide enough angle for my liking, given that it needs to pick up movement from two directions. Delivery was excellent - fast, free, convenient, and absolutely no hassle whatsoever. I am very happy to recommend this product, and will be buying from this company again. Thank you.

1 | 0 I bought one unit just after Christmas and installed it. The screws which came with the unit were inappropriate as the bracket for the solar panel has quite large holes. The screws supplied slipped through the holes. So I used my own. As others have mentioned, the unit is not as simple as it should be to locate on the backplate once the backplate is attached to the wall. My assessment of the difficulty is that as you tighten the screws in the backplate to give a firm grip on the wall, the backplate distorts slightly. In the fully firm position the unit would not locate at all. I could achieve top or bottom but not both. I loosened the backplate screws slightly and was able to achieve an acceptable location of the unit but the top clip cannot be located into the unit. It is held in place by the bottom hand tightened screw. This still gives a reasonably firm location on the base plate. The operation of the light is good, very sensitive to movement and adjustable for time and lux. This is not a cheap unit but I think we are all familiar with the ultra cheap solar units which fail over very short periods of time. I am very happy with the operation and feel that it will probably give good service over a number of years. On that basis I bought a second unit and the same comments apply as for the first one. I just cannot get the top clip to locate so I have both units located only by the bottom knurl screw. Both seem secure enough. However, this time more appropriate screws were supplied for the solar panel bracket. A real plus for these units is the separate charging panel and the ability (in my case) of locating them on a south facing wall. As I said, not cheap but my philosophy in life is always that you get what you pay for and I think these are good units which should perform properly well into the future. Also, if it were possible, it would be good if the motion sensor could be adjusted vertically as well as horizontally. My second unit is located on the back of my drive about 20 feet from the road and I do get regular false triggers as it picks up the occasional passing car. I could cut out these if there was vertical adjustment. A good unit which does the job but I have no experience of customer service as I have not had to use them.

If the bricks are not absolutely flush where you put the light it can be very time consuming getting the unit located on the backplate and the sprung loaded latch to locate.

0 | 0 Having tried several different external solar lights we have to say that the shield twin lights are without doubt the best so far. The light is bright and powerful. In fact the most powerful solar lights we've tried. The only small concern we have is that we live in North Wales where it has been known to rain from time to time, and the surround of the solar panel is painted metal so we shall have to see how that stands up to the aggressive Welsh climate. Apart from that small detail we would most definitely recommend them.

The motion sensor offers 120 degrees detection angle at a range of up to 10m can be rotated horizontally through 180 degrees. Well worth trying different vertical angles as this makes a real difference to what does and doesn't trigger the light.

Hi Richard, Thank you for the feedback.
The PIR on the Shield will rotate both left and right and up and down, it sounds like you could try pointing the PIR straight down depending on the height of the lights and this would pick up movement from both directions.
Feel free to contact us and I'm sure we can work out a solution for you.
