X-Sense Wi-Fi Outdoor Solar Spotlight, 2-in-1 Solar Landscape Spotlight, IP66 Waterproof Wall Light for Walkways, Yards, Gardens, Driveways, Cool White, 2-Pack, SBS50 Base Station Required

Design and Build QualityThe spotlights have a sleek, modern design that blends well with any outdoor decor. The build quality feels robust, and the IP66 waterproof rating ensures that the lights can withstand various weather conditions, from heavy rain to dust. This makes them highly reliable for year-round use.InstallationInstallation was straightforward. The 2-in-1 design allows you to either stake them into the ground or mount them on a wall, giving you flexibility depending on your needs. The included instructions are clear, and all necessary hardware is provided. However, keep in mind that these lights require the SBS50 Base Station, which is sold separately. Setting up the base station and connecting the spotlights via Wi-Fi was relatively easy, but it does add an extra step compared to non-smart outdoor lights.PerformanceThe performance of these spotlights is impressive. The solar panels are efficient, charging the batteries even on cloudy days. Once fully charged, the lights offer bright, cool white illumination that effectively highlights walkways, gardens, and other outdoor spaces. The brightness level is perfect for both security and decorative purposes. The motion detection feature is responsive, turning the lights on quickly when movement is detected.

The spotlight has a sleek, modern design, 2-in-1 design is a nice feature, allowing you to either stake it into the ground or mount it on a wall, depending on where you want to place it. As with most solar-powered lights, performance may vary depending on the amount of sunlight they receive. On cloudy or rainy days, the lights may not last as long throughout the night. But under ideal conditions, the spotlight provides consistent illumination for several hours after dark.The need for the SBS50 base station to access smart features may be a downside for users who aren’t already invested in this ecosystem.

I have a couple of solar lights dotted around the garden, but they really only give a bit of a glow. These actually light up the area, and the app gives you a lot more choice on how to use it.Not as bright as plugged in ones would be, but a vast improvement on what I had previously and 1 light covers pretty much the whole of our small back yard (I currently have them both at either end of the yard, but one positioned so I can swing it around to light the path down the back when needed).The X Sense app is really easy to use and works very well... and as it works with a whole range of their other products I may consider sticking with this brand to utilise it fully.The lights seem very well made, very easy to use and offer all the options you could possibly need in a security light. Excellent product and highly recommended.

The headline says it all. These are very good lights, but…………………..They come well packaged and after opening all the wrapping they appear well made, unlike some of the very cheap solar lights I have seen recently.You get the two lights and also a base station which you link to your home WiFi. After linking the basestation to you home WiFi you then link the lights to the base station. It sounds a faff but it is done in just a few minutes and the app that you need works well on an iPhone 15. And its far better to have this system than have a flimsy toy like remote control that so many similar solar security lights come with nowadays.The app allows you loads of options but I suspect most people will use it once or twice only to set up the lights brightness, schedule and motion activation.Having tested the lights over the past two evenings I can confirm that the motion activation works and the light emitted can, if needed, be very bright indeed.As another reviewer has also pointed out. If I wanted to extend my system by buying extra lights then it seems I have to buy another set including the base station at a cost of £69.99. But I do not want an extra base station!!So if I wanted to add another 4 lights to the system I have to buy an extra 2 base stations that are of no use to me. A lot of unnecessary expense.The inability to buy extra lights, just on their own, is a major negative to buying these lights in the first place and will put off a number of prospective buyers. It makes expanding the system, unnecessarily, very expensive.So based on solely on this issue I can only really give these lights 3 stars.

I already use a few X-Sense items so didn’t need the extra base station as all the devices link together. I have a lot of smart lights around the house and these are perfect for the side of the house. I previously had cheap solar lights which did the job but usually needed replacing every year. These are built quite well with good batteries and great control. I can see in the app when they go on so I know of someone is in the garden and can set a schedule for the lights.The downside is the quality of the stand, one has already broken which is a shame for the price of this set. They should really be metal for the price
