This solar powered security light came from a UK supplier on ebay. Somewhat more expensive than the usual tat I take to bits, but actually quite nice.
The bold claim of being a 3W LED light and running for 8 hours of continuous triggering on a full charge is valid in the sense that the LED will emit about 3W on a fully charged lithium cell, but the intensity will go down progressively over the discharge time to literally a fraction of a watt.
That said, it's very stylish and modestly well constructed.

With all the security lights that you have been looking at, your Compound should look like a prison at night
My security light which I bought from Wish charges all day and gives off a tremendously bright light at night,with two settings,on at partial light all night,brightening to full when approached,or off altogether,coming on full suddenly in approach. Charging on summer days could be more reliable,possibly not so much in winter. Recommended that the light faces south to catch most available sunlight. Certainly very pleased with it so far.
it wouldnt be on all the time, continuous time is meaningless really🙄
Bad
How much did you pay for it ??
Mine should give near 8 Hrs total run-time I recently got one and it has a 1500mah cell inside, I measured current draw on mine directly with a fluke meter and it's only 200ma
Time to test the new ones out, they tend to favor arrays of leds now.
LDR seems redundant on a solar light.
using the entire pcb as a heatsink isn't really odd, an added manufacturing bonus, they use less etching chemicals, less water, less filtration = less labor requirements
why does your "deeper" red screwdriver have a shaft that's fairly long? the tip of the bit isnt very long.. it would make more sense to make the shaft much shorter so it fits into much deeper cases, right? seems like an odd design..i cant imagine they were trying to save money by using a short bit, i've found regular screwdrivers at the dollar store..
