- Ring Pathlight Battery — Motion-activated pathlight, bright LEDs, works with Amazon Sidewalk, Black

Pros: These are cool units, buy them in a group of 4 (on special) and you can install them via QR code scan, then attach them to the inexpensive Ring Bridge (included in the package deal) via the Ring App, and when activated it will track motion on all 4 corners of your house/walkways. The Ring notification will tell you when one motion sensor trips, and with successive motion detections you can visualize what way someone is sneaking around your property, all the time the Ring lights are linked so trip one and they all light up bright. It is neat to see them all light up in succession to light the path to your door if that is the way you want them configured. Or they can be linked to Ring wall-mounted PoE Cameras or Battery Ring spotlights to activate in tandem with the path lights to protect your property even better. Despite them staying on at low illumination on a nightly schedule that you set, and only illuminating brightly when motion is detected (staying bright for a minute), they appear to conserve energy from the Duracell Pro D Cells that I used. You can also turn all the Ring lights on at a touch of a button on the Ring App to ward off animals or prowlers. Cons: 4 D Cell batteries are needed (no solar option), but I have only had them for a few weeks so longevity cannot be assessed yet. Don't skimp on the D Cells, go with a brand name for a few cents more per battery (buy in bulk, like 24 per pack), they perform better. and you can load up 6 Ring pathway lights in one install. They can be a tad too tall visually if you have low plantings, so pick the best walkway or corner wall location and don't pick a grass edge that your lawn guy will hit with his tractor or weed-whacker trimmer. (inset it a few inches to keep it from being struck) Ring is Great, expand your system over time, simple to add devices...

Update 9 Jan 2021 - Still working! Ring pathlights still operating on batteries from July 2019. May need replacing in a couple of months. Working great. These do link with Ring doorbell to record motion. No complaints. Installed 5 steplights. Have had to replace one that quit working. Have replaced batteries in three once. Steplights work as intended and provide motion alerts. Overall very pleased with Ring products! ----------------------------------------------- Update 25 Oct 19 - Updating from 3 to 5 stars!! Contacted Amazon who provided a return receipt and refunded a pro-rated cost of light since it was a "deal". But then we received an email from Daniel - Amazon Executive Community Support who specializes in Ring devices. Daniel had read my review and wanted to discuss our issue with the pathlight. He wanted us to return the light to him but unfortunately we had already dropped it off at UPS. These lights are weather resistant so water should not have gotten inside battery compartment. We were provide a replacement. Fantastic customer service from Amazon/Ring! Now to review the lights - we use these lights with our Ring doorbell. Dusk to Dawn is turned off. We have them set to come on after dark if/when motion is detected. A couple are linked to doorbell to record all motion. Brightness is set at 4. Battery level is still full. These lights are wonderful!! (Just added 3 Ring Steplights! May order more if they hold up as well as pathlights.) ------------------------ Purchased 15 July 19. 4 pathlights and bridge. Working beautifully until yesterday when one of the lights quit working. We discovered water inside the battery compartment resulting in corrosion of all 4 D cell batteries. There is also condensation in the glass surrounding lightbulb and condensation in the motion sensor. We brought it inside to dry but the condensation isn't drying up. We checked the other 3 path lights and they were completely dry. I contacted Ring to discuss replacement but the customer service representative said I needed to contact Amazon first (but seemed willing to replace based on Amazon response). Waiting to see what Amazon has to say. Will update if/when I have an answer.

These lights are great! Super simple to install and runs off D batteries (so no need to worry about the light bill). Lights are bright and there’s no delay in lighting all 6 of mine at once. My ONLY gripe would be the first 4 I purchased was the 4-pack with bridge….PLEASE DO NOT BUY THE BRIDGE!!! It’s crap and doesn’t sync! Just use the Amazon Sidewalk and they will sync just fine.

Pretty good light. It detects motion most of the time. Mine lasted three years before it appears the gasket failed at some point and allowed water inside of the battery tube.
