When I first received this light it was much smaller than I anticipated. However, this small light does pack a big punch with the LED lights. It took me a minute to realize to use the pin to turn the light on before installing and to charge it up before as well. When I installed it, I had to wait a day for it to charge, then climb back up and use the pin to turn it on. However, after my own mistake, the light has worked great and I even purchased a second one for the back yard. The light has a nice dual-head with good motion detection that has been great so far. The solar panel and spotlights are 360-degrees and certainly covers a wide area. I have not had any issues since they have been charged and they have not ran out of battery.
