Ring - Smart Lighting Wired Floodlight - White

This is the second Ring Smart Floodlight that I own, got the first one 6 months ago and it works great. It provides a ton of light and it was easy enough for me to install without an electrician (watching YouTube videos helped). Utilizing it on my Ring App is convenient and easy. Small complaint, but I wish they would redesign the way the lights are capable of being directed towards, could be better for directional options. My Ring system just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

This sits on the East wall of my house. Lately the light has not been turning off. The Ring app has it off. I go and check every morning to make sure it’s off. I also bought the lil extension. The connection is consistent. It used to have a weak signal. Thinking of replacing this with flood lights and a camera. Plan to reach out to Ring.

Product appeared to be nice quality, but not sure if it works properly because it didn’t include the bridge which is needed to work properly. The bridge is pictured with the light on the primary picture so I assumed it was included, not so. A slight case of false advertising. Another $49.95 for the bridge. Not pleased....

I have been using Ring Products since day one, and I am ecstatic that the new security system & smart lights work so well with their Cameras. PROS - Install Anywhere - Easily Expandable - Uses Batteries - Motion Sensor triggers Ring Cameras to start recording early ! - A single Motion Sensor trigger can control all Lights to Turn on - Very Bright (I have Pathway, Single and Double Battery Motion Lights in my Yard) - Works with Stand Alone Motion Sensor - great for placement inside a Mailbox - Price is OK, Ring has lots of Sales, Ring Protect Plus Users can get Double Discounts (used this for Fathers Day Sale) - Needs only One Dedicated Bridge, this seems to reduce interference with other devices in my home whether they are on Wifi or Bluetooth or RF signals. - I have many devices installed all over the front, back and side yards of my property, using just one Smart Light Bridge, and one ZWave Extender (from Security System) and every one of the Smart lights can easily communicate with each other (so far) without issues CONS - Haven't Used this Long Enough to Test the longevity of the D Batteries - The Smart Lights/Motion Sensors need to obtain the same audio alerts that sound from the Ring's Base Station their Door & Windows Sensors can generate. - The Smart Lights need better integration with 3rd Party websites/Apps like IFTTT, so users can create macros ---- EXAMPLE - When a Motion Sensor gets Triggered (I have a sensor in a Mailbox, my Pathway Lights or the Floodlight) the 3rd Party apps should be authorized to communicate with other Devices, such as my Phillips Hue Lights, which will instruct my Hue Light(s) to either Turn On, Flash momentarily, or turn a certain color when Rings Motions Sensors are activated.

I already had a basic Ring system - 2 door bell cameras and a Ring Chime. I had the unit installed by an electrician (he was doing other work, so why not), but it seems relatively easy if you follow the instructions. It's Important to note, that you need to connect it to a Ring Bridge to get all the useful functionality out of the Flood Light. Without the Bridge, it will only work as a 'dumb' motion sensor light. I decided to set up the Flood Light & link to the Bridge first, on a table. This way I know it was working properly before the install. This is not necessary though. Be sure the Bridge (if you're using one) has a strong Signal Strength with the Router or it won't connect to the Light. (Refer to the RSSI Signal Strength - in the Bridge Device Health - the lower the better. Try to find a location where you get a value of 50 or less).
