Good In Use but Obvious Design Fault.
I am only not recommending this product as there is one glaring design fault. The power lead is wired into the unit at one end with a 3 pin plug on the other. Now given this is for outdoors installation unless you have an external waterproof plug socket how are you meant to plug it in! Add to this if its plugged in outside what is to stop an intruder just unplugging it. I am competent with electrics and have carefully disconnected the wires from the unit and drilled a 10mm hole through one of my external walls, fed the power lead from the inside of my house through the wall to the outside then reconnected the lead to the unit and mounted the unit flush on the outside wall so there is no cable on show which adds extra security. You then simply plug the unit in to a socket inside the house close to where I drilled the hole. Now Ring might say they sell a battery operated unit but if you want these spotlights to be secure they need to be high enough up the wall so an intruder could not simply rip it off or cover the lens. If doing this with a battery unit you then have the problem of getting high enough to change the battery, The plug in one is far more reliable and the solution is simple. Re design the unit with an adapter that fits through a small hole in a wall. If you are competent with wiring then it is a great product but if not then you are going to have some installation and security issues.
