These lights are BRIGHT!. I have a 3 car garage and just one set easily lights my whole driveway.
They came with a partial charge allowing testing before installation. All hardware is included and instructions are pretty good though an install template for the base that the light clips on would have been an even better piece to have. Perhaps this can be included in future shipments. Installation was otherwise pretty straight forward though some basic DIY skill will be needed particularly if you are installing on brick or cement (cinder block) since a hammer drill would then be needed. I suggest that is using a hammer drill on cinder block start out with a 3/8 bit instead of the suggested 1/4" and then carefully enlarge as needed since with cinder block the drill can move causing the hole to get too large. Installing on wood or similar material should prove super easy, though.
The motion detection is really good and the lights can be adjusted somewhat to alter the area covered by the light. The solar detector, however, is fixed in position so be sure to install this where it can receive good sunlight. Our house faces south so it works perfectly for us.
I have to say that I am more than satisfied with these two lights The price point, especially considering that two lights are provided, is another plus. They look to be pretty durable, as well, compared to similar lights.
I want to offer an installation suggestion when installing on cinder block in order to assure a level light base.:
Drill the top hole first, place the anchor and then screw the base in loosely. Then, use your leveling tool to get the correct spot to drill in the two lower holes. I would get the base in place and use a small drill bit to start the hole through each of the base screw openings. You can then swing the base up and out of the way while it is still attached at the top hole to make the correct larger hole size in the two lower screw holes, put in the anchors, let the base fall back in place over the new holes and put in the screws.
The instructions say to use a marking tool (pencil, etc) but holding the base level and in place while trying to correctly mark the holes was difficult for me. Getting the base held loosely in place via the top whole made the process much easier. Perhaps this will not prove difficult for others, though.
Feel free to ask me any quesionts. In summary, though, I am really happy with these lights.
