Wasserstein3-in-1 Floodlight Charger and Mount Compatible with Blink Outdoor and Blink XT2/XT Camera (Black)

The light was easy to install and is very bright. Motion detection is a little quirky, as is the duration it stays on. Seems to be random. Sometimes it will stay on two minutes others only 30 seconds. I wish there was a way to set the duration along with a manual on/off.

Picked up this Wasserstein 3-in-1 Floodlight to replace an under the eave motion light that is old. These are NOT designed for that type of placement. It uses only one central mounting bolts with a screw sleeve. Installing under an eave is beyond difficult when the junction box is recessed. The bolt (located on the bracket itself) is long, but not enough to make contact with the sleeve. This should be designed with eave mounting in addition to wall.The placement of the Blink Outdoor Camera is very limited. You can only have it in a direct forward direction (detection is best from the side according to Blink) The camera has a mounting bracket included, but is very awkward to mount thanks to friction fit. Adjustment of the camera is limited because of it's location. Wasserstein should rethink and reengineer this flood light and how a Blink Outdoor camera is mounted to it. Certainly rethink using friction fit brackets because the amount of force needed risks breaking the plastic mount. By the way you have to attach that mount to the flood light before you add the camera.Lighting. The LEDs are plenty bright giving off what appears to be in 5500K - 6500K of pure white light. The heads are fully adjustable and can be set in place via a set screw once you have them where you want them to illuminate. If you do use a Blink Outdoor Camera, then you can fully disable night vision and see in full color. The lights do not have a timer or sensitivity adjustment, but as long as a person or animal is still in it's field of view, the lights remain on. I have tested this theory and can confirm.Wiring is very simple. Each of the three wires are clearly labeled. Make sure that your power is cut off fort that particular location. Either a light switch or at the circuit breaker. In my case turning off the light switch in the shed kills the power so it is safe to make the connection. If your circuit is always on (no switch) then you will have to locate the circuit it is on at your breaker box. In the US color codes for hot is black (sometimes red or orange depending on how your place is wired), white is neutral, and green is ground) The fixture doesn't follow those color standards, but again they are clearly labeled.NOTE: If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, hire a professional electrician.Conclusion. This flood light is plenty bright, but it needs a better bracket for the Blink Outdoor camera, and mounting should be designed for eaves and not just wall mounting.

For starters, if my opinion changes I will update my review. My opinion is based on 1 week of use thus far in Canadian Winter.I have this flood light set up in our driveway which is the busiest, most covered location for our Blink camera on our home so the fact that this will power the camera without the expensive lithium batteries I have to replace every 4-6 months or sooner, huge win on that alone. The light pretty much pays for itself. Install was super easy and straightforward, we were replacing a floodlight we already had up so it was a simple swap. Light is bright, coverage is good, no issue with motion sensor that I have experienced so far and no issue with the light working with the camera, being washed out etc. Note: make sure you are setting your camera app night vision settings properly. There are many youtube video reviews to help you as you do need to change some of the settings once you have a floodlight. My reason for taking away 1 star is 2 reasons: 1, If you have a light switch inside your home that activates your light outside, it needs to always be on the on position to power your camera, view or record if no back up battery. So if you are someone who likes to shut the light off when you go outside and not shine on you while you are out there, you have to remember to turn it back on. Which brings me to #2, the light shuts off in 15 seconds and has a bit of a delay to turn back on when motion is detected again. Not a huge deal but the fact that you can't control the light settings from the app to customize the light timing and light control vs. camera power is a very convenient and important feature that should have been considered. If there was an unwanted visitor in the middle of night, vehicle break in etc the fact that there is only 15 seconds for the light to be on before it goes off could hinder some important recording - hopefully the bright light will be enough to scare someone away before that 15 seconds. Despite the shortcomings and improvements that could be made, the fact that I don't have to be annoyed by the batteries on my busiest camera is huge win for me and love the peace of mind knowing that I can watch live when ever I feel like it without worrying about battery life. Losing the wifi connection that powers the cameras, now that's a whole other conversation/ review. :)

Bought 3 of these for my wife’s family who bought the Blink Cameras through Costco at a really good bundled package and they already have about 6-8 floodlights installed around the house so buying these to power them rather than relying on the batteries was a no brainer rather than looking at a solar panel all the time. The wiring was easy if you know what your doing or even if you don’t the wires are color matched to what you should already have so just match them up and your done. However, the mount adapter clips they give you that say they fit the new outdoor cams is nonsense. I mean I got them to fit but it takes serious force and they will crack which actually helps get them installed… just hope they don’t fail in the winter months. Also the gasket is garbage unless you cut it out the fit the wires yourself but all their floods are undermounted so I threw them away cuz every time I went to use them it made too much of gap between the electrical box and the light itself that I couldn’t attach the light to the box so I got rid of them and just caulked any gaps to weatherproof it. Last issue I had was the swivel arm the camera attached too which was very short making the viewing angles limited. But all this still not bad cuz it does work and it does power your cams through the existing hardwiring in you home so you never have to change batteries. That alone makes it 4 stars and above for me. Just wish those little nonsense parts would be corrected for future models and I’d buy them again for other family members. But I think I’ll just get the solars next time and use a separate mount for the cam that comes with.

I figured it would work on the wall (as pictured) or mounted to the ceiling fixture that I have above the garage. It does work in the ceiling outlet box I have but the sensor doesn't trip the light until your close to being up underneath it. It works for me as I don't want every car that drives by in front of my house to trip the light. The only other thing is that the clip that's provided to mount the camera to the spotlight seems to be a real tight fit and breakable when trying to get it in the back of the camera. I didn't want to force it so I used my outdoor blink camera mount "camera holder" to mount it to the spotlight. Works good but I wouldn't recommend ceiling mounting this spotlight as the sensor trip area is not a far distance. Look very well made and it is very bright. Very happy with it.
