Ring Smart Lighting – Battery-Powered Outdoor Motion-Sensor Spotlight (2-Pack Starter Kit) & 4 Pathlights Bundle – Weatherproof Wireless Security Lights for Home, Garden, and Driveway Protection

I’ve had 5 of these for roughly 2 years. They’re ok but they work best if you have a group of them. One single light isn’t enough to light much up. But, I use mine in conjunction with my Ring spotlight and floodlight cams. I have them setup so that the spotlights in a certain proximity of my cameras light up when the camera does. I have two of these in my front yard, and 3 in the back. My yard isn’t huge, maybe 1500sq feet front and 3500 back. The yards are not totally lit. But for the price they’re ok. I don’t have the lights themselves turn on when motion is detected, only when my cameras detect motion as mentioned previously. With the lights turning themselves on when motion is detected they were coming on a lot, like every 5 minutes on a windy day. But I do like these lights. They can be adjusted to point at almost any angle, they’re not huge, and not terrible to look at.I don’t see if the description mentions any waterproof specs, but I did just go to change the batteries in one of them, and water came pouring out when I pulled out the battery compartment. Which is what got me to write the review. It was fully closed when I opened it. It wasn’t obvious how water got in. I’ll have to take a closer look. But because of that, going to have to lower my opinion of these lights from what would have probably been a 4 star rating down to a 2. If I can figure out if this was caused by user error or age (I never expected these to last forever) I’ll bump the rating back up.Edit 1 - 10/21/2023Ring saw this review, contacted me to troubleshoot the issue, and then sent me a replacement light. Considering this is one of 5 lights and the others work fine, I’m updating to 5 stars. Was going to stop at 4 but these things aren’t too pricey so I’m going to be generous and say they work exactly as designed. And I have them on my Christmas list so I can add more to my yard. I want my yard to light up like the Griswolds house at Christmas if anyone approaches my house at night. You know, for their safety.Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
