I'm looking for a solar powered motion security LED light to put above my shed's doors. No electric out there, so it's either battery or solar.
Any ideas on a good unit? How many Lumens minimum for a good light?
Anything else to look for or avoid?
Thanks.

Interesting, I wonder how much light they actually put out?

It says 900 lumens, I think that's somewhere between a 60 watt & 100 watt bulb.

Just picked up led spots for outside. Just a couple to start. 13 watts give me 900 lumens per bulb.

900 lumens would be more than enough I think.

Have you tried them yet? How bright are the 900 lumens?
