Installing a Solar Porch Light - DIY Off Grid Cabin Build Episode 72

so hey guys um when I was last few times I've been out at my cabin um I'd have to get out of uh get out of the cabin go outside uh for one reason or another and um it's always pitch black there there are no lights out that area and if it's cloudy or you know if there's a new moon or something like that I mean it is pitch black so uh I need to get uh some kind of a porch light so I was able to get something that was uh had a little solar panel built into it so it would charge up during the day and then it would uh work as a motion uh sensor in the evening so anytime that I would go out it would automatically come on light up the front of the cabin and it would stay on for I don't know 15 seconds or so which was perfect you know I could go out go to the truck do whatever I need to do and then go back into the cabin as long as I'm moving around it detects that motion stays on so it was a good solution something that I needed and uh here is a clip of me installing it okay the last thing that I want to install out front is this peos solar wall light and uh it's going to be kind of tight getting the screws to mount this so I think what I'm going to do to make it easier is I'm going to take the mounting uh plate off right here get this mounted then I'll reattach it for for [Music] this piece just slipped right out of it I could have left it attached but oh well has a solar panel on the top um you can adjust it you know to different angles and uh the installation is super easy all you have to do is figure out where you want to put it and then Mount that bracket with just two screws and then the base just slips right on with this piece right here okay as simple as that and now I've got a uh front porch light that is solar enabled so doesn't need a switch it also comes with a remote control um that uh will change it between the three modes and it'll turn it on and off so you don't need to have a switch and you don't need to be outside it does have an onoff switch underneath you know right up under here but uh with the remote control you don't need to do that just leave it in the on and you can turn it on and off with the remote so the three modes that it has are always on with a medium light always off and then a sensor turns it on to bright or always on with a low light and sensor turns it on bright so those are your three modes that you can switch between so uh this is going to be great for uh my offgrade cabin all right I got everything done here on the outside I've got my my step installed got my grab bar and I've got my porch light so we'll come in for a little closer look grab bar and my solar porch light all right so that's going to do it for this week's video um if you made it this far I'd appreciate if you gave uh this video a thumbs up and if you're not a subscriber um if you'd like to see more videos like this uh please click the Subscribe button and click the Bell so that's going to do it I'll talk to you guys later
