The motion sensor is placed on the gate between my and neighbors' house.  There is a darkness that is evident when I walk past this gate seen from the street that has always bothered me.  Placing the motion sensor there is perfect, illuminate brightly and the light reflection does not extend itself over the gate. Which is perfect because of the study window is located close to the gate. However, depending on the sun some days night light up. The motion sensor light the area if someone lingering between the two houses, and also neighbors can tend to their hose at night.
