The Nightwatch Solar Light
Three Heads, Three Directions. One Light That Covers The Whole Corner. Nothing to wire. Nothing to trench. Nothing left dark.2,500 lumens · 270° coverage · 26 ft motion range · IP65
There is one part of your property nobody can see into after dark, and you can name it without going outside. The side gate. The far end of the drive. Past where the porch light gives up. It has been like that for a while, and every fall when the clocks go back it starts an hour earlier.
Support For The Corner, The Path And The Approach, At No Running Cost
- Three heads pivot independently, so one fixture lights a corner, a path and an approach at once
- 270 degrees of coverage and 26 feet of motion detection from a single mounting point
- 2,500 lumens across 210 LED beads
- The panel runs it, so it goes where no cable reaches: the shed, the fence, the back gate
- IP65 sealed, and a remote that switches all three modes
- Runs on sunlight, so it never shows up on your electricity bill
Before You Buy A Cheaper One
Solar security lights nearly all look alike in a photograph. What separates them is what happens in month seven, when the return window shut months ago and there is nobody to email. Plenty ship with ninety days of cover, or none at all.
Every Nightwatch is covered for a full year, and you have sixty nights to decide you want it at all. If it stops working inside the year we replace it.

The light, a wireless remote, the wall bracket, four screws, four wall anchors and the instructions. Nothing else is needed to put it up.
Mode 1. Off until something moves, then full brightness.
Mode 2. A dim glow through the evening that jumps to full brightness on movement.
Mode 3. Full brightness continuously for about four hours from dusk, then back to sensing movement.
The remote switches between them.
Six and a half to eight feet is the sweet spot for the sensor. The panel is part of the housing, so pick a wall that catches the midday sun and it will keep itself charged year round.
Give it two to three days of sun before the first night so it starts full. After that it looks after itself, charging every day the sun is on the panel. Brush leaves or snow off the panel and it keeps going straight through the winter.
Flat $9.95 shipping, free on orders over $85. Sixty nights to try it with a full refund either way, and a full year of warranty after that.
One fixture, three directions
It Lights The Corner. Not Just The Spot.
Most outdoor lights point one way, because the bracket only lets them point one way. The place you actually want lit is not a spot, it is a shape: a drive runs long, a yard runs wide, a corner is two walls meeting. The three heads on the Nightwatch pivot independently, so you aim one down the path, one across the approach and one back along the wall.
That is what the 270 degree figure means in practice. From one mounting point the light reaches forward, out to both sides, and back around behind itself, and the sensor picks up movement out to 26 feet. One fixture instead of three, and one hole to drill instead of six.
Around the house
Where people put them
Above the garage door, on the corner of the house where the side passage starts, over the back step, on the shed at the bottom of the yard, along a fence line, by the gate, on the kennel or the coop. Anywhere there is no outlet and no reasonable way to get one.
The part nobody solves
A porch light lights the porch. It was never going to reach the corner.
Most houses are not unlit. They are lit in the places that were easy to wire, which is the front door and the back step, and dark everywhere a cable could not sensibly go. The gap is not a small problem left over after the lighting is done. On a property that is otherwise lit, the gap is the whole problem, because it is the one place where being seen stops being likely.
When the clocks go back
Your yard does not get smaller in November. It just goes dark at five.
Nothing about the property changes. The dog still has to go out. The bins still go to the curb on the same night. You still get home and walk from the car to the door. The only thing that changed is that all of it now happens in the dark, and it will keep happening in the dark until March.
That is the stretch this was built for. A light that comes on because you stepped outside gives you back the part of the year when the back of the house is a place you go rather than a place you look at through a window.
Mode 3 runs it at full brightness for about four hours from dusk, so you can simply have it on for the evening rather than wait for it to catch you.
Out of the box
Four screws and a screwdriver
There is no wiring, no electrician and no outlet involved, so there is nothing to switch off before you start. Four screws and four wall anchors are in the box. Hold it up, mark it, drive the screws, angle the heads where you want them. Mount it between about six and a half and eight feet, which puts the sensor at the height it was tuned for.
The panel is part of the housing, so pick a wall that catches the midday sun and it charges itself from there on. A remote is in the box and switches between the three modes.
Sixty nights to decide. A full year of cover.
Put it up and use it through a whole season. If it has not closed the dark corner you bought it for, tell us inside sixty days and we will refund you. Beyond that, every Nightwatch is covered for a full year from delivery: if it stops working in that time, we replace it.
Before you order
Questions we actually get
No. There is no cable, no plug and no electrician. The panel on top charges it and four screws hold it up, which is the whole reason it works on a shed or a fence where there is no supply to run from.
It stays lit the whole time you are moving in front of it, so it is still on when you get to the door. For light that stays on regardless, Mode 3 runs it at full brightness for four hours straight from dusk.
It charges off daylight rather than direct sun, so overcast days still put charge in it. Give the panel a wall that catches the midday sun, brush the snow off it in winter, and it runs all year.
2,500 lumens across 210 LED beads, spread over three heads you aim yourself. It is built to light the area around a house, a drive or a yard, not to light a parking lot.
Sixty days to return it for a refund for any reason at all. After that it is covered by a full year of warranty from delivery, and if it fails in that time we replace it.
