'Very good' and 'really bright' motion sensor security lights perfect as nights draw in
'Quality is very good and set up is easy, light is good and bright, and the detection works perfect'
As the days get shorter and we slowly get nearer and nearer to the dreaded moments when the clocks change, everyone in the UK is facing up to the time of year when we have to exist in the dark a lot more. If you've got a side passage or garden that becomes pitch black at night, though, you might need to get some decent lights.
Whether for practicality or security, some decent floodlights can make a world of difference, and they don't have to cost the Earth.
Right now at Amazon, in fact, you can grab a set of Sansi 18W LED Security Lights for just £39.99 in either black or white, to really easily add a motion-sensing light to your house. More powerful 36W versions can also be chosen if you want to boost their range further.
This set of lights can point in two distinct directions at once since it has two lights, which means you could cover a huge area with just one installation. It's also completely weather-resistant to ensure that you can put it wherever you like and has a variety of modes to choose from. This might mean simple motion sensing or a timer to have it come on every night at the same time. You can even choose the brightness of the light itself, in case you want it to be softer than its default.
Those features sound great and they're backed up by over 900 user reviews that average out to a score of 4.1 stars. Some of these reviews are super reassuring, too, like one from a customer who said: "Quality is very good and set up is easy, light is good and bright, and the detection works perfect, needed a good light for when I take my dogs out just before bed, as we live in the countryside which gets very dark in the winter evenings".
Another person said: "I have had one of these as an outdoor security light for over two years with no problems at all. Not the best-looking light but it works… and it's lasted much longer than other types I have purchased." A third concluded: "Amazing is the only word - it's daylight at midnight, seriously amazing".
Some other users have levied criticisms, though - one said: "This light is quite big and unattractive, the electrician wasn’t too keen on it either". Another person wrote: "The setting switch is small, fiddly and isn't easy to set in a specific mode."
If you want a far more smart and connected floodlight, you could opt for the much pricier Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus, which includes a smart camera and can be controlled on your phone - for £179.99. A more affordable and easily moved-around connected option would be the Govee RGBICWW LED Smart Flood Lights, which comes in at £55.99 right now or £69.99 at full price.
If you want a simple set-up that minimizes your costs, though, there's no arguing that the Sansi 18W LED Security Lights are one of the most affordable options you'll find anywhere. With quick Amazon delivery, too, you could be using them quickly.
