72178 Safety Light

This motion-activated LED Light provides a reliable source of light and peace of mind.
Battery-Powered LED Works Anywhere
The Sylvania LED Motion Sensor Light is ideal for garages, decks, entryways, hallways, stairways, and any areas where safety and security is a concern. Because it runs on three 'AAA' batteries (included), this LED doesn't require an outlet, so you can install it just about anywhere. It includes hardware for three different mounting options: adhesive, magnetic, or screw mounting, and its splash-proof, indoor/outdoor housing further increases your placement options.

This super-bright, versatile LED can even function as a portable flashlight--its possibilities are nearly endless.

Illumination When You Need It
The LED Motion Sensor Light automatically turns on at dark, or it can be set to turn on when it senses motion within a 130-degree, 13-foot radius. You can disable the photo and motion sensor to switch the light to manual mode, and you can set the programmable auto shut-off function (10 seconds) to conserve energy.

I have put these all around inside the house and put some outdoors (sheltered from the snow but still exposed to subzero temperatures). They are awesome! They put out a good deal of light which is nice in the winter in Alaska and save on electricity because they are motion detecting. I was so impressed that I bought all that they had at Ft. Wainwright commissary. They are cheaper on post!

First let me say that I do not have any vested interested in Sylvania or this product, and that this is an unbiased review. I recently installed Panasonic cameras in every room of my house except for bedrooms and bathrooms. The problem was that at night, the cameras couldn't see anything if an intruder wasn't shining a flashlight on himself...and even burglars aren't that dumb. My choices were to keep the lights on all the time or install night lights throughout the house. Unfortunately night lights did not give me the light intensity that my video cameras need. So, I installed one of these lights at every camera location, and they work fantastic! The trigger level of these lights seems to complement the light sensitivity of the Panasonic webcams almost perfectly. As you walk through my house with the lights off, these lights flick on like magic at just the same time as the webcams start taking your picture. Even if you don't have webcams, this would be a really cool night light and even act as a deterrant. I've had 13 of the lights for three weeks now, and they get constant use at night because I like to play around with them, and none of them as run out of battery power yet. This product is really practical as well as cool!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent - so far   December 30, 2009

I searched for weeks for a simple, reasonably priced battery operated motion detector light. Amazon.com offered the best choices for the best price and with free shipping it was a simple choice. They arrived promptly. They have just enough light to light up my back door so I can see the keyhole, and enough light to shine on my otherwise dark back steps. The light stays on for as long as there is movement, yet goes off just a few seconds after the movement stops. The three LERD lights are not blinding. The light on my steps does not go on when my car passes, yet I get out of my car and walk towards it and it goes on. This is good - I guess my car lights do not set it off. It has an excellent sense of movement meaning it senses you just far enough and at a wide angle before it switches on. So far, it has withstood very cold temperatures, rain and snow. The batteries were enclosed and working fine, so I do not have a sense of battery life yet. Although I used screws to mount these, the magnetic mounting was very secure and held tight to the metal surface. The only negative aspect was that the holes for mounting with screws are very tiny and I had difficulty finding screws to fit and it was a little difficult to screw in. A minor problem when everything else seems great.

Runs on 3 included AAA's and the battery life must be pretty good as mine was on in the box when I received it so could have been on for days. Build quality is OK, little more then a three (non cree type) led tap light (no tap fuction) mounted on a motion sensor, but for the price it is nice. I compared it to an old one led tap light I had and was a bit brighter in the same space but not as big a change as I would have thought. Mounting choices a very nice as you can use the adhesive, magnet, nail it in, or hang it from a hook. I choose to use the magnet and it sticks well to the metal corner bead on the inside of a closet door frame and helps light up my wife's clothing in that section of the closet. Light stays on for about 20-30 seconds with no motion. Motion sonsor works well in the position I mounted this one and comes on when you naturally reach for the clothing and don't need to make an effort to wave your hand in front of it or not. I ordered one the first time, not knowing how well it would perform and will likely order several more for a few other locations where I can see them coming in handy. It does swivel side to side what seems to be about 45 degrees each way from center.

Update: I ordered 2 more of these and both work fine. These I put up at around noon, and I noticed that they seem to work best when there is no natural sunlight as the motion sensor didn't seem to want to kick the light on (There was more natural light in the area I placed them then light the unit itself would produced in darkness). Once the sun set (which is when I wanted the lights to work) the sensor was spot on again. Just an FYI if you get one and put it up during the day in a lit area, don't give up on it until you try it at night.



5 out of 5 stars Great product. Exactly what I wanted!   January 14, 2010

I purchased a 2-pack of Sylvania 72178 Motion Activated Battery Powered Safety Lights about a year ago. I use them to illuminate stairs at my condo at night. I attached them using included magnetic holder (no screws) to metal posts on two of the flights of stairs. I positioned these lights in the middle of the flight of stairs halfway down from the hand rail with the sensor pointing up.

The motion detection works perfectly and there is enough light for safety. The option to use it as a flash light is much appreciated. These lights have a built-in photo sensor, so they do not turn on other than at night - a great battery-saving feature. Batteries have not died after a year of use, but once they do, I'll switch to rechargeable AAA such as Eneloops. The lights are shaped attractively and are relatively small, so they are not an eye sore.

The fact that Sylvania 72178 Motion Activated Battery Powered Safety Lights use AAA batteries rather than C-cells like other products in this category was important to me because AAAs help to keep the light's size small and are easier to find and cheaper than C-cells.

I am very happy with these lights and I would recommend them.
