Was skeptical about those solar-powered garage lights but now I'm a convert

I bought a 2-pack of the Litom 2000 lumen motion sensor lights off Amazon for about $35 last month, fully expecting them to be useless. But after mounting them on my garage eaves, they actually catch enough sun through the afternoon to stay bright until like 3 AM. My driveway is fully lit now without running any wiring. Anyone else had good luck with these budget solar lights?

yeah but how's the motion sensor in practice? i set mine up and it works fine for detecting cars but if a cat walks across the driveway it'll trigger and stay on for like 5 mins then shut off again 30 seconds later. drives me crazy cause the light keeps flickering on and off all night. you having that issue or did you find a way to adjust the sensitivity so it only picks up bigger things?

Oh man, that reminds me of the time my neighbor's kid kept setting off my floodlight with a laser pointer. Took me a week to figure out it was just him messing around. But yeah, try turning the sensitivity down or aiming the sensor a bit higher so it only catches the big stuff.
