They come in two main power types: battery-powered models with non-removable, integrated LEDs, and hardwired fixtures that connect to household wiring.
Common outputs include higher LED options around 1,150 lumens and mid-range options such as about 800 lumens and 450 lumens.
Shades and bodies vary — some use plastic shades and bodies, others use glass shades with steel or aluminum bodies — and many listings specify weather-resistant construction for outdoor use.
Battery models are cordless and typically install quickly using batteries, while hardwired fixtures require standard household wiring and electrical installation.
Hold times for motion-triggered lighting are commonly adjustable from a few seconds to several minutes (examples include about 5 seconds up to 3 minutes, and in some listings up to 30 minutes). Some models also include a manual override that can keep the light on for approximately 5.5 hours.
Battery-powered models advertise battery life up to one year (based on about five activations per day) and operating temperatures from about −4°F up to 104°F.
