Haha yeah I will end up doing that and getting a wired one. Was just trying to make my girlfriend think I was less of a moron when I realised it wasnt going to work by saying "its okay I'll just rewire it" - ignoring the fact I have no knowledge of rewiring. I do like attempting new skills tho, might still give it a crack if I can get the right instructions from someone explaining it like I'm 5 :')

Bought it because of the solar capability. Dont think it exists as a non-security light. Probably because of the battery capacity limitations. Lesson learnt, will end up just wiring a normal one in. Just trying to save it from being a complete waste of time yknow

Thank you so much. Finally feel like I have the answer I was after.

No dramas on the battery - I fucked up by buying a security light instead of a normal one so atleast if I can get this working I wont feel like it was a complete wsste of money until I have to upgrade to a wired outdoor light.

Thanks again

The sensor itself is built-into the globe unfortunately. The solar panel losing sun is what activates it so that it can turn on from the sensor. Appreciate the idea though, thanks

I'd only need it on for an hour or 2 max at a time. Do you not think the battery would be up for that?
