My son moved to a different city in November. The home he moved to has him going down an alley, parking in a carport, with an abandoned garage right next door. The apartment is about 300 feet from the carport, and there were no lights. He has a 3 year old daughter. It was DARK getting in and out of the car. We bought him these to place on the inside of the carport and on the sidewalk to get to his apartment. They light up the area nicely. They are motion-censored and come on at the first sight of motion. Its perfect for his area.
