Many models include dusk-to-dawn photocell sensors and/or motion sensors. Motion features can offer motion-activated operation and adjustable detection ranges, and some lights provide selectable Auto/On/Off modes.
Most fixtures are described as waterproof, weatherproof, or weather-resistant. Several listings specifically note rust resistance or an IP65 waterproof rating, and some solar/security models list resistance to heat, frost, and water.
Several hardwired integrated fixtures list an average lifespan of about 30,000 hours for the built-in LED source.
Many integrated wall lights require hardwired installation and may need basic assembly with tools (not always included). Solar and wire-free security lights typically include mounting hardware or stakes and do not require hardwiring.
Listings most often use metal bodies or iron finishes with shades or diffusers made from glass, acrylic, or plastic.
