I'm looking for a couple for the drive and walk way. Not looking for retina searing intensity. 36-50 LEDs should be enough. Remote solar panel a plus. I haven't found much of a selection at the local hardware stores. Anyone have a good supplier?

Costco has a few..........
Xepa Solar LED Security Light With Detached Solar Panel Module
this one works well.........
Been thinking about something like this for the driveway, it is facing south-ish and not shaded, plus the garage would need some wiring in a PITA to reach space. My concern is with the panel durability during hailstorms.
Lowes has one for $88, with some crappy reviews and some glowing ones. HomeyD has what looks like the same thing. Checking Amazon there are some other options with generally more happy customers. IDK about a local lighting store, would expect they would just order from a catalog with a markup on what we can find online.
These are a couple I'm looking at. The Smarthome version looks a little more adjustable.
Looked at the HD light and wasn't impressed. Harbor Freight's light got terrible reviews.
I'd like to find some locally, so I can handle them.

this heartland one is the same as the Harbor freight one, and they blow, I have 3. one works when it wants to the other two work a little more frequently.Quote:

if secured properly the wind should not be an issue. The wind will however set of the motion sensor, sometimes.Quote:
