This is a good addition to security. Illumination of dark areas on your property. Great for lighting pathways driveways. Also for garden ornaments that you want illuminated. There is a long cable between the solar panel and the light itself allowing you to place it where it's convenient. They can be mounted with included screws permanent or with the included ground stakes. After charging all day the light comes on automatically in the dark and off again at dawn. The light head has a tilting feature to point at a specific area. It also has two brightness levels to choose from. I'm happy with mine and you should be as well.
