- Is 70 watts bright enough for a driveway?
- 70 watts of LED is roughly comparable to a 500-watt halogen floodlight, which is plenty for a driveway or large porch. For a small entryway it may be brighter than you need.
- Does it need a neutral wire or a switch?
- Motion sensor lights usually wire into existing live and neutral lines and work without a wall switch. Have an electrician confirm your wiring before installing.
- Is it weatherproof?
- The listing does not state an IP rating. Outdoor security lights should be at least IP44; ask the seller for the rating before mounting it in exposed rain.
- How far does the motion sensor reach?
- Detection range is not listed. Typical PIR sensors on this type of light cover 20 to 40 feet with a 120- to 180-degree field; confirm the figure before buying.
- When is it cheapest?
- Outdoor lighting tends to drop in price in early spring and around Black Friday. Set a price alert and compare across stores rather than buying at first sight.
