Hi everyone,

 

 

 

I planning to get installed a floodlight at the entrance of my driveway.

 

I have one already but this does not detected car movement (at least on the tests I did)

 

Can anyone recommend one that can detect car movement? if possible needs to be LED but does not need to have cameras. 

 

 

 

Thanks,

kiwiharry: Was there something different with this brand with PIR sensor that made you choose it over something with a microwave sensor?

I have a HPM one with PIR sensor which also states 12m sensitivity distance, but generally only works to about 10 metres at best and about 4-6 metres on average.

Would have been interested in your experience with a light that had a microwave sensor.


I had installed a microwave sensor light late today (yes i have a large drive way so i need 2 outdoor lights )
My experience the microwave sensor light works better.
Definitely sensed the car and its truly bright.
The price was much cheaper than the smix
About $100 cheaper.
So in my opinion microwave sensor is the winner.
