Harbor Freight's Top-Rated Security Lights For Your Home

Although information from the FBI (via SafeWise) shows that burglaries have been declining, there's still a break-in, on average, every 41 seconds in the US. If you want to protect your family and your home, security is as important as ever. There are numerous inexpensive tips to help defend your property from intruders, and deterrents are an important part of any strategy. Lighting up dark areas can be enough to put off a potential thief, and Harbor Freight's top-rated security lights, sold under the Bunker Hill Security brand, offer affordable solutions. Most come with solar panels, so they don't even need to be wired in.

The top-rated model is the powerful Bunker Hill Security 2850 Lumen Triple-Head LED Solar Security Light, which costs $49.99. It gets an average of 4.6 stars, with 93% of customers happy to recommend it. Typical comments on the company's website highlight how much light it produces and how bright it is.

This security light comes in two parts: the triple-head lamp with a built-in motion sensor and a solar panel with ten feet of cable that allows you to position it for maximum sunlight. The light can detect motion up to 40 feet away, over a 120-degree arc. A timer sets the lights to stay on from 30 seconds to two minutes. If you want to illuminate a large area at the front of your home or provide plenty of light to help burglar-proof your backyard, this is certainly a device you'll want to consider.

Harbor Freight's second-most highly rated security light is also the cheapest. The Bunker Hill Security 115 Lumen Wall-Mount Solar Security Light costs just $12.99. It's only narrowly behind the more expensive triple-head model, with an average rating of 4.5 stars and 92% customer approval. Customer reviews point out how competitive the price is. Durability is also a feature. "Over 6 years old and still operating," says one owner, while another claims theirs has worked for eight years.

Although the triple-head model needs only a half dozen screws to fit it, this smaller light is even easier to mount thanks to peel-and-stick backing that will work on almost any flat surface. If necessary, it can also be hung using just a single screw. The sensor range is 23 feet, and it's available in black or white.

There are lots of clever gadgets to make your home safer at night. Bunker Hill Security lighting from Harbor Freight makes it relatively inexpensive to provide basic outdoor coverage, and several customers mention having bought multiple units. They are also weatherproof, which backs up owner comments about durability. There are plenty of other security lighting products available, but given their value for money, these are worth checking out.
