Our take on the Bell+Howell Emson Bionic Floodlight Elite

The Bell+Howell Bionic Floodlight Elite is a solar-powered outdoor floodlight with a built-in motion sensor. It puts out 500 lumens of cool white light (6000K–7000K) and has three modes: off, a dim all-night eco glow, and full brightness on motion. The head swivels up to 180 degrees, and the motion sensor covers a 110-degree angle up to 16 feet. It suits renters and homeowners who want light on a shed, garage, fence or doorway without wiring or an electrician. Against wired floodlights it is dimmer and depends on sun, but it installs in minutes and costs nothing to run. Owners like the easy setup and the eco mode; the common complaints are weaker-than-expected brightness and a short motion range.

About the Bell+Howell Emson Bionic Floodlight Elite

Questions and answers

How bright is the Bionic Floodlight Elite?
It outputs 500 lumens of cool white light at 6000K–7000K. That is enough to light a doorway, shed or small yard, but it is dimmer than a typical wired security floodlight.
Does it need wiring or batteries?
No wiring. It runs on a built-in solar panel and rechargeable battery, so you mount it where the panel gets sun. It is cordless and installs in under five minutes.
What are the three modes?
Off, Eco Night Light (dim light all night) and Motion Sensor (full brightness when movement is detected). Dusk-to-dawn operation switches it on automatically at night.
How far does the motion sensor reach?
The sensor covers a 110-degree angle up to about 16 feet. That suits a doorway or path, but it is short for a large driveway or yard.
Can I aim the light?
Yes. The head swivels up to 180 degrees, and it offers multiple mounting options, so you can point the beam where you need it.
Will it work in a shady spot?
Only partly. It needs direct sun to charge fully, and owners report weaker output after cloudy days. A shaded wall will shorten run time.
