If you’ve been putting off adding outdoor lighting because the thought of hardwiring is a hassle, GE Lighting has a solution that’s right up your alley. Its Solar-Powered LED Motion Security Floodlight skips the use of wires and power cables (yes, really, we confirmed). If you needed a smarter, easier way to bring brightness and safety to your yards, driveways, and entryways, this is it.
With solar power, motion detection, and flexible installation, this light does a lot... without asking much from you.
Not Hardwired = No Headaches
One of the best parts of this solar floodlight is what it doesn’t need: wiring. Updating an outdoor hardwired fixture is one thing, but in many cases, the home may not be equipped with wiring where you need it most. Calling an electrician, drilling holes, running wire—it all adds time and cost. With GE’s solar-powered design, you don’t need any of that. The outdoor light charges during the day, turns on when motion is detected at night, and just works. It mounts easily to most exterior walls or under eaves with basic tools and no special know-how.
And because the solar panel light sensor is separate from the light itself and includes a 10-foot cord, you can mount the panel where it gets sun, even if the light goes in a shady spot. That makes placement flexible and installation simple, even on homes with tricky layouts or deep eaves.
Bright, Adjustable, and Built to Last
Just because it’s easy to install doesn’t mean it’s short on power. The LED lights put out up to 2,500 lumens—enough to light up driveways, backyards, or side yards. It comes in both two- and three-head versions, and each head swivels so you can aim the light where you want it. Whether you want broad coverage or focused illumination, it’s easy to adjust.
The solar light also gives you control over how the light behaves. You can choose from five white tone settings—from soft to cool daylight—so the look fits your home. You know how outdoor floodlights can seem like too much white light? This is great even if you only want ambient lighting. The motion sensor can be adjusted for sensitivity and how long the light stays on once triggered. That means no wasted energy, no neighbors annoyed by bright lights flipping on too easily, and no fumbling in the dark.

Great for Renters, DIYers, and Anyone Who Likes to Keep Things Simple
Because it doesn’t rely on wiring, this floodlight is especially helpful for renters or any homeowner keen to find a fast, effective option. You don’t have to alter your home permanently, and we love that, so it's easy to relocate or take with you if you move. And if you’re not super handy, that’s okay. If you can handle a power drill or even a screwdriver, you’re good to go.
It’s perfect for covering areas that aren’t wired already—like sheds, back corners of the yard, or fence lines. With the moveable solar panel, you can still get plenty of sunlight to charge up, even if the light is placed in a darker area. This flexibility makes it a smart upgrade for nearly any outdoor space that would benefit from extra security.
Priced at under $60 and available at Walmart, it’s an affordable option that adds real value.
