This is a great light but lights a much larger area than I expected and the light itself is larger than I thought it would be. I originally was planning on putting it in a medium size yard but decided to place it in a much larger area and I'm glad I did. It lights the whole area beautifully and provides great security lighting all night long. I really liked the fact you can upgrade it to motion activated if you want to and I may do that at a later date.
