Best solar motion security lights with separate panels

Top pick: Lepro 3-Head Solar Motion Sensor Security Light with Split Panel (IP65). The panel sits on a cable away from the light, so you can put the lamp where the motion is and the panel where the sun is — the whole point of a detached setup. Three heads spread light wide, it's rated IP65 for real weather, and it has the strongest owner feedback of the split-panel options here.

Who the others suit:

• Lepro with remote control — same split-panel design, but you can change modes and sensitivity from the ground instead of climbing a ladder.
• Brightever 2-pack — a long cable between panel and lamp gives the most placement freedom, and two units cover a driveway or back door together.
• Lutec 3600LM — if raw brightness matters more than a separate panel; it's the punchiest of the group but the panel is built in.
• SZRSTH / Mainstays / Bell + Howell — small, simple all-in-one units for a shed, porch or gate where a short cable run isn't possible.

Skip anything here that isn't split-panel if you need the panel in full sun while the light sits in shade.
