The motion light is one piece and it has two screws and anchors that mount it horizontally. It can rotate up and down.

The solar panel has four screws and anchors that mount a small base to a wall. The panel rotates in a ball and socket mounted to this base. There is about 6 feet of cord that you must run to the actual motion light using a standard DC plug to the unit. Everything is included.

ps This light is surprisingly bright.

The solar panel has a bracket that you can bolt to a wall. The mounting bracket has 2 - 4 holes. There is a wire that attaches the panel to the light.

The solar panel unit is seperate (in the box) and has a base attachment with 4 small holes to be attached/ screwed into any surface.
The cord is about 12 feet long and plugs into the battery unit. 2 holes screw the light and battery unit to a garage or carport. Very easy to install. Hardest part is deciding how long you want to keep your light on when its activated. 20-30 seconds is where I keep mine. Great unit..

answer 6
Solar panel is separate from the light and has a separate mounting post. Light bracket is adjustable and has three mounting points, although you might get away with using just one of those if you have a solid location to screw into. The panel connects to the light with a pre-terminated plug...just plug it in and you're done. The wire is long...maybe 8 feet? Solar panel mount has 4 screw holes but you could probably use only 2 and be okay...it's not heavy.

Uses a pair of standard AA NIMH batteries. My experience is they last one or two years. I wouldn't even consider lights with only one AA battery.

The light will activate when motion is detected. There are three controls you can set to your needs. The first control would be the sensor which determines motion from the number of feet you want the sensor to be activated. The next control is the time duration. For example, do you want the light on for 8 seconds or 2 minutes. The last feature is the lux or brightness feature. This would determine the level of darkness outside that you want the light to turn on.

There's a dial to select how dark the ambient area must be before the light will activate. I choose to set mine at about 20% so that it's very dark before they will switch on. I did try them at the darkest setting but at that level even moonlight is too bright for them to come on.

answer 3
Depends on how high you adjust the sensitivity dial. At the lowest setting you have to be really close - less than 5 feet. At about 60% setting the lights are catching me from 30 feet away. Haven't tried them on the max.
