504-LED Solar Motion Sensor Light – Remote Control, 3 Lighting Modes + SOS Flash, Fold-Out Wall Bracket, Cool White

A solar motion light for the wall above the garage, the shed, or the back fence

A slim, all‑in‑one solar light: the solar panel is on the back, the battery is inside, and 504 small LEDs sit in twelve square lens pods on the front. A motion sensor on the face wakes it when someone walks in, a small remote picks the mode, and a fold‑out arm screws it to a wall. There is no wiring. It charges by day and works at night, and how long it works each night depends on how much direct sun the panel got that day.

What it actually is

• Self‑contained solar. Panel, lithium battery, LEDs and sensor are one sealed unit. Nothing to plug in, nothing to run a cable to. The maker’s listing rates the panel at 6 V, 10 W and the battery at 4500 mAh; its charging graphic says a full charge needs up to eight hours of direct sunlight.
• 504 LEDs in twelve pods. Two columns of six clear square lens pods, each with a 6 × 7 grid of chips. We counted them in a customer’s photo of the real unit; the number is real. The maker states the color as 6500 K cool white — a crisp, slightly bluish daylight tone, not a warm porch‑light yellow.
• Motion sensor on the face. A passive‑infrared dome near the bottom of the front. The maker quotes a sensing distance of about 10 to 16 ft (3 to 5 m) and a sensing angle of about 120°. Sensors like this pick up warm bodies crossing the field better than someone walking straight at it.
• Remote control, infrared. A small handheld remote with On, Off, three mode buttons and an SOS button. It is infrared, like a TV remote, so it needs a line of sight to the sensor plate and works best within a few yards.
• Fold‑out wall arm. A flat plastic arm hinged at the base of the body swings through about 180° and ends in a small square block that screws to a wall. Screws and wall plugs are in the box.

The specification, as the maker states it

Where it works, and where it will not

• It needs sun on the panel. The panel is on the back of the lamp head, so the head must face the sky, not a wall or a soffit. A north‑facing wall under a deep eave, or a spot shaded by trees, will not charge it enough to last the night.
• Mount it high and tilt it down. Above a garage door, under a shed roofline, on a fence post facing the yard. Out of reach, with the sensor looking across the area people walk through.
• Motion‑only is the mode that lasts. Mode 1 is where the twelve‑hour figure comes from. Mode 3 is a couple of hours. If you want a light that burns all night at full brightness, this is not that light — no solar light this size is.
• Screw it into something solid. The arm and block are plastic. Put the screws into wood framing or masonry with the supplied plugs, not into vinyl siding alone, and give the head a little shelter from the worst wind if you can.
• Cold and cloud shorten the night. Lithium cells give less in the cold, and December sun is short. Expect shorter runs in winter and after a run of gray days.

Getting it going the first time

Charge it in full sun for a day. Then, at dusk or with the panel shaded, press the green button on the sensor plate once — the light will not switch on while the panel is in bright daylight, which is by design, not a fault. Once it is on, point the remote at the sensor plate and press a mode button. From then on it wakes itself each evening; the remote is only for changing modes or switching it off.
