Harbor Freight Bunker Hill Security 60 LED Solar Security Light Review Harbor Freight Item

[@jj-kc4zr]

FINALLY! someone who goes over the settings for this unit! i've watched a lot of these and everyone seems to either ignore this or glosses over it with no real explanation. a BIG thanks!

[@eaglerider94]

Light stopped working after a couple of years. Tested the battery pac with a multimeter and it read 0.3v's, then tested the light without the battery pack and everything worked, all sensors, so I knew the unit was good. Next, I tested the plug end of the solar plate, received no reading so I used 0000 steel wool to clean the outer perimeter of the plug as it looked hazed. I also inserted a tiny pipe cleaner into the center (+) of the plug and vigorously went back and forth with a tiny bit of carburetor cleaner. Took another reading (bright sunlight) and it read 13.5v's. So in my case, the plug of the solar plate built up enough corrosion so it wouldn't send a charge into the batteries. Test the plug first as I kinda went backwards, not thinking it could be a corroded plug.

[@busterraines3956]

I installed 2 of those lights on my property and they are very bright no problem after 7 months.

[@VansWorld]

Yeah mine still going strong too. I hope yours last as long as mine has

[@alexv3866]

Thanks for the video. I was just looking at it and needed more info.

[@VansWorld]

Thanks for the feedback. I hope the video helped ya.

[@TBrownRecords]

You made a cool video for 2019 😊

[@VansWorld]

Thanks for that awesome comment 👍😁

[@john4kc]

I'm thinking about mounting one INSIDE of my shed with the solar panel outside.

[@VansWorld]

This one is better than the 36 led. I was thinking the same thing except i was going to put it inside my garage. Thanks for watching and for commenting

[@angeloflight8714]

I have one inside my camper , solar panel outside. It is very bright. I had to make a shade for it.

[@chrispalmer1255]

@@angeloflight8714 did you try the smaller one from HF?

[@jaysekhon8014]

Definitely gotta grab a couple of these. Thanks.

[@VansWorld]

amazon sells them amzn.to/2BSFqJP thanks for watching

[@heathschwab]

Very nice deff need one i have a light it's on all the time i took a old metal minows bucket and made a porch light it's nice. But hand gets hot turning off and never think about unplugging so let it go add a new light every few months. Thanks van have a good weekend. God bless

[@VansWorld]

Its well worth buying one 😀

[@vikaghostwave]

I mean on the whole time maybe just get brighter with the motion detection?

[@AtlantaHospiceRN]

Informative! I didn’t know to let them charge 3 full days before use.

[@beentheredoneization]

I like this Van and thanks for the review. Great light source that'll save a body from running wiring and helping to keep the power bill down too. Great as well for outbuildings and sheds that aren't wired and away from the house or garage. Probably discourage the squatches from coming into one's yard from the woods at night too! lol

[@VansWorld]

Haha yeah I haven't seen any Sasquatches since I put this light up lol

[@juankeen1219]

@@VansWorld can u rotate it where u want it to illuminate

[@undeadthe1]

Good vid! If you ever get to the update, how about shooting some video at night? You can start from inside your house with the lights off and letting us see how bright it is after 20 months. I don't know why they don't give a lumens number with this one yet they do with the cheaper 36 LED version! AND they're on clearance this month, being July 2019, so if they're worth it, go get 'em while they last!

[@VansWorld]

Whundh Umfuqh I will see what I can do about an update video. It still works great. I am actually using it inside my shed for a solar light. I bought the 36 led solar light too. It’s awful. I wouldn’t recommend it at all. It yeah the 60 led has been a champ! 😁👍

[@undeadthe1]

@@VansWorld Thanks for the update. And, if you haven't tried them out yet, the regularly priced $29.99 Braun 4ft. 5000 lumen shop lights are $19.99 with the their own coupon or a 20% coupon. I've got 2 of them in a large room with no overhead lights and they kick ass! One's literally sitting on the stand behind my 46" flat screen and the other is on the other end of the room so there's no reflection. I'm using them with a cheap 3 button remote control all plugged into the same 4ft 12 outlet bar that was also on sale at HF earlier this month, yet still worth their regular $24 or $29 price. Have fun!!

I love mine, I mounted it really high, lights up the whole front yard ! Agreed it is a pretty good product !

[@VansWorld]

It’s a life saver at night backing into my driveway. I like it better than the 30 led from HF thanks for watching and for commenting 👍😁

[@Denise-zp1js]

The motion sensor on my light stopped working after two weeks. When it was working, the distance was too short when the light finally came on. Unfortunately, box and receipt were trashed. I usually hold onto those for a while. Just mounted onto the outside of my balcony rail to use for a temporary light using the switch. Mine was not on sale.

[@VansWorld]

That sucks. My first one was a dud. I took it back. They store your receipt on their system with your phone number. They can use that to swap it out with another one.

[@PAPATexas]

I am tempted to get one of these, if I do I will go thru your Amazon link for you. I have motion cameras out. But I do like this .

[@VansWorld]

+PAPA Texas man we are still loving this light.

[@paperwork1125]

Thank you! I like Harbor Freight reviews because I can get the stuff cheap and know in advance if it is workable for me. Thaks aagain!

[@VansWorld]

Me too. I didn't have good luck with the smaller 36 led light. But this one is still kicking butt.. Thanks for the awesome comment.

[@soniacortez4135]

That spider wudda been dead dead dead if i was doin this here review lol and thanks...gettin a few for my sons new garage. He hasnt hooked up power in there yet so this may work before he can afford to do that!

[@VansWorld]

Awesome. This one is great. Still working 😁👍. I love it. Thanks for the great feedback. 😁👍 and as always thank you for watching

[@fumasterchu12]

That's a nice looking light, I could use one of these out here in the boonies. Thanks for the heads up brother!

[@VansWorld]

No problem Ya cant hardly beat free energy

[@fumasterchu12]

You got that right, I'd love to have a bunch more solar.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

price was right glad its working good for you now

[@VansWorld]

Me too Drew. Man I was very disappointed with the first one. Im glad I got a replacement instead of a refund.

[@vikaghostwave]

I know that I'm late but is there a setting where the light will come on at night and just on? Then cut off when the sun rises?

[@homergarcia5360]

Ever find out

[@vikaghostwave]

@homergarcia5360 it's a useless light save your money. Only comes on if you walk past it. Then over time the sensor stops working great.

[@be236]

I have a spotlight... been debating on whether I should install it on the house wall by the front door aiming outwards toward the front yard, or there's a pillar/column about 8 ft in front of the door that I could attach that light to an aim the light back towards the front door/house... pros and cons either way?

[@adelaideautowashes]

My mum & dad could use some of these above the garage door facing down at the driveway and in the backyard.

[@VansWorld]

There is a link in the video description to buy some on amazon. I really like this light. It is still working great with no issues at all. 😁👍. Thanks for commenting and for watching 😁👍

[@bobbycole3968]

Mine works great right out of the box...time will tell.

So far so good on the replacement light

[@coreywhitaker6742]

Supposed to charge in direct sunlight for 3 days before use.

[@VansWorld]

Yep 👍😁

[@charlescoker7752]

Does it need to be under the eve of the building? To keep the rain off of the unit?

[@VansWorld]

It doesn’t need to be. But I figured it would help it last longer. It’s still going strong. 👍😁

[@thebear2283]

If you put the switch on the on position how long will it last on? Or how long until battery is completely drain?

[@VansWorld]

I’m not sure. I never used it that way. 👍😁

[@Legend813a]

Wondering why the solar panel was not installed up on the roof pointed south tilted at 45 degrees up

[@VansWorld]

😂 your hilarious haha. Its works great where its at lmao

[@warmachine5063]

How long does it last if it's just on with a full charge no motion detection ?

[@VansWorld]

I’m not sure. I’ve never used that setting. I’ve always used motion detection. 👍😁

[@warmachine5063]

@@VansWorld thanks for the reply . We're hoping maybe 7 or 8 hours

Just curious, how are these holding up?

[@tomcoppola1644]

3Qs: -Does it state how long the battery last, -which size batteries & -are batteries difficult to replace?

[@VansWorld]

It doesn’t state any of those. But mine still works great.

[@crystalmorrison3960]

I hope you still check your comments, my squirrels chewed my wire into, I do not have the book, does the book show you the type of cord it uses or where to call to buy a replacement cord

[@VansWorld]

I don’t remember what is in the book. Can the wire be spliced back? Any hardware section should have the wire. Walmart should have it too. I hope this helps. Sorry about those crazy squirrels 🐿 Have a great weekend 😁👍

[@FlintandSteelSurvival]

Sweet seems like a good bargain!

+Flint and Steel Survival it’s still working great

[@rainman7992]

Why do you not do a follow up to this and let us know how well it performs 3 months later, 6 months later, one year later. that is the true test of solar powered system.

[@VansWorld]

It is still working great. Surprisingly, since it is a harbor freight product. I will get a update video for everyone. Keep ya eyes peeled 😁👍

[@carlosb1]

Bought mine march 2018. About march this year the batteries died. Bought new batteries, new batteries worked great now guess what sensor is out. Go figure. For 31 bucks I guess it was good for two years.

[@carlosb1]

Forgot to mention I live in the hot desert west tTexas. Things don't last long here. Light is always under the hot sun.

[@paulrevere4326]

Great video. Can you initially charge the unit with a 12 volt charger or only sunlight.

[@Freeknickers24]

So far it's working. Battery would not take a charge now it is starting to charge off the 12v. The battery has a battery management system.

[@pheyito]

Do you recommend change to good rechargables batteries, instead waiting for three full days???

[@VansWorld]

Honestly I recommend the 3 days. It has been way better than I expected. I was just saying the other day how much I like this light. It’s way better than the 30 led light. 😁👍

wish he would of showed how bright it was at night!
