    No, you’d have to find a professional tile shop most likely that could get it for you.

    I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask.

    I'm looking for a good motion sensor flood light. Something with a reliable sensor that last.

    I have a Rab Lighting Flood light that the motion sensor keep on letting go. It starting to be more of a inconvenience.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    If you want a battery powered one I highly suggest these.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I prefer hard wired flood light.

    How are these light you mentioned for going off for the slightest little things? The light I have now keep going on due to shadows from cars headlights driving by, or the slightest little things.

    I only have them in my back yard away from cars and what not. They do not seem to overly sensitive. They are surprisingly bright, use 3 D batteries. I end up changing batteries about once a year.

    I was thinking about putting a batteries or solar powered light in the backyard. I think these may work out.

    The driveway side probably have to be hard wired. More people walking to go inside plus road traffic will constantly tripping the light. Plus I can go brighter without draining the batteries.

    I always wondered how bright the solar powered ones would actually be. They just don’t seem very bright to my, but I have the perfect place for them but these battery ones may be perfect.

    This might be a stupid question, but have tried adjusting the sensitivity? Mine have a dial on top that let you control sensitivity and time on after they are lit up.


    My neighbor has cheap solar ones. They really don't seem to do much. His are some chinese brand lights from Amazon, so there are probably better options.

    By looking at pictures on Home Depot, Amazon website the solar powered flood light look bright enough to light up a decent size area but not bright enough to work on things or to read something. My concern is the runtime.

    I tried adjusting the sensitivity but didn't work the way I would like. I want the light to trigger atleast 15 feet from the porch.

    The cars/trucks that trigger the light have LED bulbs in halogen housing with a wide beam pattern or unaligned housing.

    Since the light is low I have idiots neighbors that plays with the sensitivity knob.
