Our take on the Maxsa 40227 Solar-powered LED Floodlight

by Meredith Krebs

Coming back home after dark, it's comforting to know that this motion-activated light will automatically turn on when you pull into your driveway. You can even set the timer so the light stays on long enough for you to negotiate a path strewn with toys and see to slip your key in the lock.

The light is solar-powered, so you don't have to pay an electrician to hook it up or pay big electric bills. Just use the supplied cable to connect the solar panel to the floodlight. The sun's rays will charge its built-in battery so the light is ready when you need it.

Highlights:

  • solar-powered floodlight with 80 LEDs
  • no electrician needed for installation and no utility costs
  • durable aluminum design
  • detects motion within 120 degrees and up to 25 feet away
  • great for decks, patios, balconies, entrance doors, garages, driveways, carports, walkways, backyards, sheds, pool areas, and stairs
  • light duration adjustable from 10 seconds to 1 minute
  • motion and daylight sensitivity adjustments
  • weatherproof design
  • included 15-ft. cable connects solar panel and light
  • solar panel dimensions: 8-1/4"H x 6-1/4"W x 6-3/8"D
  • security light dimensions: 7-5/8"W x 8-1/2"H x 6-1/4"D
  • warranty: 90 days

    Features

    Overview: The MAXSA Solar Motion-Activated Security Light (item # 40227) is powered by the supplied external Solar Panel and is activated by passive infrared motion sensors. The Solar Motion-Activate Wedge Light is easy to install, and perfect for decks, patios, balconies, entrance doors, garages, driveways, carports, walkways, backyards, farm sheds, pool areas, and stairs.

    External Solar Panel: The supplied external Solar Panel charges through the day and coverts direct sunlight to electricity to charge the battery inside the Security Light. The Solar Panel connects to the Security Light via its attached 15' power cord. The Solar Panel features a durable weatherproof housing to protect it in all weather conditions. The Solar Panel has an adjustable head so it can mounted either on a flat or angled surface or rooftop. The Solar Panel is mounted using the supplied mounting screws and wall-anchors. The Solar Panel should be mounted in an area where it can receive 6-8 hours of daylight per day.

    Note: Before its initial use, the MAXSA 40227 should be left in the direct sunlight to charge for three days.

    Motion Activated Security Light: Using the stored energy from the connected Solar Panel, the 80 Super Bright LEDs inside the Security Light turn on automatically at night when motion is detected. The Security Light's 80 Super Bright LEDs illuminates a broad coverage area at 250 total lumens. When the battery is fully charged, this Solar Security Light can activate up to 180 30-second intervals. The Security Light features a swivel head which allows the lamp to rotate 360 degrees and angle up/down or left/right. The Motion Activated Solar Security Light features the following adjustment settings:

    • Time Period Adjustment: The time period control sets the duration that the Solar Security Light will be illuminated when activated. The time period is adjustable over a range of 10 seconds to 1 minute.
    • Motion Sensor Adjustment: The sensitivity of the motion sensor of this Solar Security Light will be affected by temperature. The Security Light's motion sensor has a field of vision of 120 degrees at a distance of 25 feet, when the surrounding temperature is 75 degrees. The cooler the temperature the more sensitive the motion sensor will become. Use this adjustment to set the sensitivity of the motion sensor to compensate for environmental temperature changes.
    • Light Level Adjustment: The LUX dial controls the natural light level that initiates operation and prevents the Security Light from operating during daylight hours.

    Note: The LED lights in the Solar Security Light (40227) will last up to 30,000 hours and should never need replacement.

    Rechargeable Batteries: Included in the Security Light are three AAA 2100mAh Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. These batteries should last for approximately 3 years.

    Maxsa 4227 Solar-powered LED Floodlight

    Written By Sharonna, Ocean City, MD on Saturday, January 26, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I was surprised at how bright this light is, I really didn't expect this much light from a solar-powered light. So far it works great and I plan on buying another one in a few months for the other side of my house.
    Pros:
    Bright light, easy to install.
    Cons:
    None

    Good but not great

    Written By Jonathan B, Hinsdale, IL on Friday, February 10, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Based on the solid reviews, I purchased this light to use in my backyard for when the dog goes outside at night. Love the fact that it doesn't require any hard wiring and setup was a breeze! One and only knock is that I expected better illumination of the yard... it adds light but no where like a wired flood light would. I'd recommend this for security or to shine at an entrance (to unlock a door in an otherwise dark space) but if you're looking to light up your whole yard, there are probably better choices.
    Pros:
    Quick and Easy Installation No elecrtrical wiring needed Good appearance / quality
    Cons:
    Not bright enough to illuminate like a hard wired flood light would

    Fantastic

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Have had this product installed for over 7 months now. Absolutely love it -- very, very bright, good throw and looks great. Works every night like clockwork, without fail.

    As Jon B mentioned above, It does take a bit of fidgeting to get the sensitivity where you want it -- so it doesn't come on too often but yet it does when you need it. I'd say that's the one thing about this light is it takes some time to do this -- and it's a bit awkward since you'll probably have to be on a ladder to do it. You might have to do it on successive nights as well -- I had it set where I thought I wanted it, then had to go back the next night and retweak.

    There is a hotspot also, it's brightest in the center of the illumination dims outward from there, but even so it's still very very bright even outside of the hotspot.

    Haven't had the water problem mentioned above, but our light is mounted under an overhang so it doesn't get much weather.

    We looked at many lights before buying this one here and have no regrets and would not hesitate to buy it again or recommend it 100%. An excellent product!

    One flaw noted

    Written By FredS, LI, NY on Monday, January 17, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Would have given full five stars if not for fact lens is not water-tight and allows rain/snow
    melt to enter the lens and collect on inside bottom of lamp. I drilled small weep hole at
    bottom of lens to drain. Lens should have been properly sealed by manufacturer.

    The hands down best of solar security lamps

    Written By Jon B, Hamilton, New Jersey on Tuesday, October 26, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought two of these because of the price point on this site. The aluminum casing
    attracted me because I live in the Northeast and I want these things to last for a while.
    They are easy to set up and install. But it will take a few days to get your motion sensor
    sensitivity at your desired response level. Yes, this is the brightest solar powered light I
    have ever seen, it easily rivals my neighbors electric powered security flood light for the
    brightest. If you have a three story house and you hang them high up, the light will cover
    about a 30 foot radius, the light will not cover your entire back yard or drive way.......so I
    am glad I purchased two. Great product, no need to keep looking.
