Solar Outdoor LED Lights After 1 Year - Lemontec, Luposwiten, Litom Motion Activated Lights

Today, I will give you guys an update on my solar outdoor LED lights (Lemontec and Luposwiten) that I have installed on the sides of the house more than a year ago. They still work pretty good but this year, I will add some more and will check out another brand - Litom 122 LED solar lights.
We will see how it will hold up in the next few months or years from now. These are cheap lights and can light up the outside of your house without breaking the bank and without using electricity.
Below is my original video where I installed these lights last year.

I've have the Litom original model and three years later in "dim/bright" mode it's still going strong. Great video.

[@LifeHackster]

Cool..it looks pretty solid..

[@TheHookUp]

Great video. It's amazing they can build something that long lasting for $10/light.

[@LifeHackster]

I know..they just keep going :)

Hello, friends, we are holding a solar lamp delivery test activity, I don’t know if you are interested?

[@BJones-yw4dd]

@@pavzutube Yes, very sadly that's what we & they get for the U.S. Republicans off-shoring millions of former U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and other low-/no-wage countries so the U.S. CEOs can jack up their own pay and keep American workers subservient. Few consumers think about the real, i.e. real-world price of the cheap goods we insist on.

We need an updated 2024 version of this video!! :)

litom are the best out of the bunch.. I had them running for 1.5 years no issues.. even in a winter day snow and all.. they worked

That setup is dope. You made it flawless.

I purchased 6 Lemontec when you released this video last year. Best bang for your buck will be the Lemontec because they just work.

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, I had no issues with them.

[@madstarr2]

We have been using Litom lights for years, but I am so glad you did this video because we definitely need to rearrange how we have them positioned.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks.

[@DrSmith1974]

I use the lemontec lights also and they are great. Love the price and they work great. I've had mine for 6 months now and no problems with them.

[@LifeHackster]

Cool... they are pretty good lights.

[@geeemm8028]

Thank you for doing the update. I clicked your link and bought a Luposwiten 4-pack 100 LED $69.99 - $30 coupon on the page. $10 for each light. ^^

[@LifeHackster]

That is a good deal..

[@allbutgrey]

Sweet deal! Where did you find the coupon?

[@geeemm8028]

It's on the product page. Also when you put an item in your cart, under the price, there should be a "clip coupon" to click on. Still there as of 2:30 pm PT.

[@greatestcontentofalltime5065]

Your reviews are always great, excellent description and demonstrations. Awesome!!

[@tdgdbs1]

I replaced the batteries with better quality ones and applied clear silicone around any possible entry of water. They are still going strong after 3 years.

[@LeoRousseau]

Would you mind sharing what batteries you used?

The indoor shed lights are great! Awesome informative review as always!

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for sharing your experience...I have to check the brand.

I like solar motion lights, I put mine up 2 years ago and haven't had to touch them ever since

[@twiceonsondays2534]

Do you mind sharing what kind of lights you have

[@tremarrimorris1554]

Pretty much all of those solar lights like the one he advertised are excellent out door lights but the ones I brought were echt solar lights, I bought mine three years ago and they work very good, maybe once a month I wipe them off with a baby wipe just to keep them clean but definitely a good investment for sure.

[@LifeHackster]

That’s great that they last more than 2 years.. it is a good investment.

[@twiceonsondays2534]

Thanks

[@TikiShootah]

@@twiceonsondays2534 mine were litom lights like his, older model though. All I used was outdoor gorilla glue double-sided tape. Bad idea...lol tried to stargaze, so I take it down, to turn off the light. Took hours.

[@johnnysmile01]

I bought today One of those solar light with 360 leds with movement detection it's a light like yours, but to use inside Doors to save some money, gonna charge at day time outside no need to hang up in the wall it's a moveable One just to try and see how this performs but now i know i Will need another One

I bought mine at Amazon they are awesome 👏 thank u for ur effort and sharing

Thank you.

[@pancakeninja445]

Thanks, time for me to invest in a couple of these. Added security is always welcome !

[@LifeHackster]

Yes it is.

[@lexiath]

on the shed you could have used one of those that have the solar panel detached from the lights and can be put outside so you won't have to manually switch batteries later

[@iblackfeathers]

you can't adjust the distance of motion detection for the litom 122s. being on the sides of the house, this will cause them to light up when motion is detected at your neighbor's property too.

[@LifeHackster]

True..but my neighbors would be glad that there are lights too...

Thanks for the review

[@kgfaro]

So my big question is if I put a light next to my security cameras will it improve there function make them clearest? At night

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, it will improve even the black and white night vision. I showed an example in my previous Wyze window setup video.

[@RichRotorhead]

I'm very intrigued with the dim setting, but what none of the videos I've watched failed to mention is... How long do they stay on when dim before the batteries die?

[@damieg82]

It's quite frustrating that there are soooo many review videos and literally no one thought to do a time lapse to test how long solar lights stay illuminated at night. These reviews become pretty pointless with each being a repeat of the last

[@steves5933]

Great video as always. Can you let me know, how many lumens do you need to get colour pictures with the ring doorbell? By the way, I do like your new shed. 😊

[@LifeHackster]

With Ring Light cameras, every time it gets activated at night and when their lights turn on, it will record in color.

[@LonghornsLegend]

I just ordered a few of these, but I'm concerned that the lights may need direct sunlight and some locations are hard to get that. I have a Ring led sign up front in the flower bed but because it isn't hitting the sun directly it constantly goes out. I'll have to place it in the middle of the yard for a day to give it power

[@MrFester]

Get those lights all the same color temperature! 😂

[@LifeHackster]

I know but the solar lights are usually only 5k color temp..

[@anshumandani49]

Great review dude

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@joonymoon]

Very informative video. How do you replace a new battery when the light is screwed to the wall?

[@LifeHackster]

The battery is built in to the light..solar rechargeable..no need to replace it..

[@joonymoon]

@@LifeHackster Oh! That's great. I was told that most solar lights sold in Thailand ( most of them from China) use lithium batteries and they need a replacement after 1 - 3 years.

[@johnnythestrongarmjohnnyth8254]

[@mrlrob3102]

Great vid bro.

[@mrbottomfeeder]

Thank you. Thank you.

[@LifeHackster]

You are welcome..

[@ralphwight3268]

Great video as usual. You seem to have lights facing all directions - North, South, East and West. I think I live at a more northern latitude than you do and two sides of my house get little direct sunlight in the winter. Have you noticed the direction the lights are facing effects their charging ability?

[@LifeHackster]

The lights need at least an hour or 2 of direct sunlight to fully recharge...but if you only use the motion activation mode only, and don't use the light that often, then it should be ok.

[@mucholangs]

It would be great if these solar lights also had the option to plug in a siren. That way, it won't just be lights, but burglar alarm also. If such a thing already exists, please post a link.

[@mz8210]

Hi. Looks great. Could you tell me the brand(s) and Amazon links of the lights that light-up your path-way (it's at the 9:33/11:58 time frame planted among the plants) as well as the ones that light-up the facade of your house (shown just after at time frame 9:35/11:58), as well as the lights under your patio. Thanks in advance

What is the light called inside the shed? We have the same size shed.

[@5065ca]

[@Royan1900]

Another fantastic video, thanks! Do you find the battery lasts for the whole night when on the "dim constant on" setting? Where I live I don't get direct sunlight for 10-12 hours a day, so not sure if they will last throughout the night....

[@LifeHackster]

Even when fully charged by full sun, the light will only last until around 3 am. I only have a few of these lights set to this setting. Most of them are set to only turn On during motion.

[@gary1412]

I share your gadget passion. We are just getting started with Wyze and led solar lights. I wonder the advantage of your existing brick wall installation instead of the wood fence. It seems the lighting output should be towards the home instead. Your thought?

I thought about that but my fence is not that tall for proper installation of the lights.
