I added this wireless lights to my Arlo security cameras and they work great , no wire and battery last long as long as you have the right settings on the app. This package comes with an extra battery and a bridge, that’s great for the price. The 400 lumens makes my back yard bright enough at night. The motion detection is adjustable up to 23 feet, the range from the router to the bridge is over 90 feet but make sure you install it at least closer to both lights to avoid any disconnection from your WiFi; the range from the bridge to the light is also over 90 feet. One of my favorite features is when the light detects motion, your Arlo cameras can start recording and you’ll get a notification to your phone, also works great with Alexa . Great addition to my security system.

These led security spot lights work in conjunction with my arlo camaras and actually help contribute to better resolution and color for night time recording. A definite add on for added security and deturance

I love these Arlo Lights! I programmed some to automatically turn on when a camera is activated and vice versa. The batteries have yet to need to recharged and it’s been several weeks. Oh, and the ability to change the colors with the Arlo app makes my kids happy @ night.

Lights up my back yard

I have 9 Arlo cameras. I use these 2 lights to supplement dark areas of my backyard. Some features I like are motion detection notifications, color changing and overall ease of use. I wish it utilized the magnetic mount that the cameras use. This was a drawback for me. It does come with 2 premium mounts, but I prefer the magnetic one. Included are 3 batteries, so you’ll have a spare for the light or Arlo camera.

i was very excited to hear about this security light coming out by Netgear. i have been waiting since 2017 when they announced the upcoming release. i have recently moved into a new house that lacked lighting in the backyard and have been looking for something wireless and Netgear answered my calling. i frequent my backyard multiple times a day to take my dog out to do her business. this helps illuminate the grass area so her and i could both see, especially when i pick up her doo doo. the set up was very simple and user friendly. just follow the step by step in app to add devices. i played around with it before installation. the motion sensor will only trigger in dark settings when indoors or at nighttime but you are able to manually turn it on thru the Arlo app or via Amazon Alexa voice. i have also connected the security light to turn on when my Arlo pro camera is triggered in the backyard. nice to have the light on before i get to the very back of my house. i placed the 2nd security light indoors in my living room and i use it as a cool disco light where it flashes and rotates multiple colors in which you could select thru the Arlo app.. it's great when used in conjunction with the rest of my Philips Hue's and Nanoleaf lights to create a nice ambience. i call it my "party lights." :) installation was just 3 screws into my walls, felt sturdy enough to not use the anchors. no connection issues so far. works like a charm. must have for any smart home addict. best of all, i'm so lucky to have been selected for the opportunity to review this new item for free!

If you need small weather resistant lights to help light up the yard, these are amazing. They offer a color output, but in terms of quality the colors are not that great or bright. However, for bright white lights these are great. They come with a recharge battery but you can also get usb power supply which I've done. They also come with the tools needed to mount these. Finally they are smart home capable and work with ALEXA. I have 6 of these to help light up backyard to let the dog out and to help light up a outside storage area.
My true negative about these is it seems the range of the hub is not amazing. I have many smart home products, most needs hubs, and of all the brands - this hub seems to have lowest range.

I like these, but here a few notable pros and cons:
Pros:
- uses same battery as Arlo Pro and Pro 2, which is nice for those of us that have extra batteries.
- Easy set up and coordination with your existing Arlo cameras
- Multiple Color Option
- Allows you to set to "Flood" (wide light spread) or "Spot" (more narrow light)
Cons:
- NO MAGNETIC MOUNT OPTION - this to me was the biggest flaw and the reason I took off one Star. I would have liked to have the option of using a Magnetic Mount Option for these lights. Magnetic Mounts make it easier to access and recharge the batteries. Plus, Magnetic Mounts allow for easy relocation of the units if you decided to move them to a different location and only require one small screw. The "fixed" mounts that these come with require that you drill three holes and force you to have a more permanent placement of the lights
- Lights are decently bright on standard white but not so much on Color. As I learned from my Hue Lights, this is to be expected with any "color" light but something you should be aware of.
- A little larger and heavier than I expected
- The App only allows you to activate the camera for a 5 minutes or longer. It would be nice to have the option of having it activate for a shorter period of time. I suspect this can be easily fixed with an app update.

I have an Arlo ecosystem, so adding these when they were on sale was a no-brainer. For the price of $99 for a pack of two, with 3 batteries, (I could only normally buy two replacement batteries for that price) made this an easy choice.
The lights are a bit larger than the Arlo cameras themselves, but mount cohesively next to them. They have an array of white LED lights, with varying intensity settings and then 4 colored LEDs in the center. I've set then up to cover the back yard and also the side of my house, motion triggered and linked to my camera, so if they go off, the camera will trigger and record anything that's going on.
They run off of their own hub, which is the only let down I can see with these, as I already have an Arlo hub connected to my router, so now I have to have a light hub plugged into an outlet (doesn't need to be connected to your router). That is a downside, but... the upside to the separate hub is that the connection between the lights and the hub is incredibly robust! Really happy with that, so it's at least a decent trade-off!
They are brighter than I was expecting to see, after reading some reviews, so that was a nice surprise. I have them on a 30 second timer from the moment of sensing to the moment of turning off again and that is more than adequate for my needs.
I get notifications on my phone when they sense motion, which is reassuring and they are working flawlessly in that respect. I've had them installed for about a month so far, and the battery life is still at 92%, which is fantastic. I don't have the light shining all the time, but I do get about 10-12 notifications during the day from birds and cats moving around the property. So very pleased with the battery life so far.
You can manually control the lights as well, turn them on, change the beam (spotlight or floodlight) and also change the color of the lights too, however the colors are not as intense as the white light that they put out in floodlight or spotlight mode.
So far, very impressed with the lights, better than I expected, and at $99, such a good deal, I couldn't pass them up.

Lights are a great addition to our Arlo surveillance system. They work great together with the cameras. An added plus, you can change the color of the light to create an ambience. We spend a lot of time enjoying our backyard in the evenings and it is a plus to be able to use our security light in another way.

These units work great for detecting motion and the lights are bright and have two selectable beam patterns, spot or flood. The colored output is not as bright as the white output. These are mounted outside and are hardwired. They are connected to Alexa routines. The units have been dependable.

Very bright light. Battery life if excellent. It does loose connection to the base station all the time but thats ok with me. I was getting tired of all the notifications being sent to my cell phone. The app to control the light and color options is very glitchy and most of the time does not work..But again....no big deal. It lights up my front and side areas of the house when we come home at night. The motion sensor is super sensitive.
Arlo customer service has improved dramatically over the past few years. For that, I give them a 5 star on trying to be better.

We have a four camera arlo setup that I have been very happy with. These recently went on sale and I thought it might be nice to get some additional lighting coverage and I liked that it came with an extra battery that could be used interchangeably with the rest of the Arlo Pro 2 products. What was a pleasant surprise was that these are more than just lights, I didn't realize that they actually also throw motion alerts. So with a few of these we can fill in some of the small "blind spots" and get not just some lighting in the yard but also alerts/tracking if we do get an unwanted "guest". As as just a flood light, yes it's kind of spendy, but as an expansion to your Arlo system and cloud alerts? You get a lot more functionality than a simple flood light.

We already had Arlo cameras so when these came out, I wanted to try them out and see how they interacted with the cameras, as well as brightness/coverage. They are not too different in size from the Arlo cameras and in fact use the same batteries. Putting them up was about the same as putting up the cameras, which were pretty simple. I plugged the light hub about equal distance between where I mounted the two lights (oh yeah, I got two). I fired up the Arlo app and added the lights which were detected pretty quickly. Once the app finds them, that's when all the customizing can begin. You can set the lights to spotlight (narrow light beam) or flood (wide area of light). You can also enable motion detection, whether you want notifications that it went off, if one sets the other (or your cameras) off, and determine the color! Yes, you can set these to a rainbow of different colors and light levels as well! You can also manually turn them on and off and use a timer in the app to determine the length of time you want them to stay on. Once it got dark I turned them on manually to see if they were bright enough (concerned due to their small size) and was surprised with just how bright they actually got! They were brighter than my 100 watt floodlights in the back yard! Once I finished that, I set up the motion detection and was good to go. They also can be turned on and off with Alexa or the Google Assistant if you have them. The batteries have a good duration in that mode. It is a pain to remove the batteries to charge but luckily that doesn't happen often. If you need good, bright, integrated, app controlled security lights, these are excellent!

I have had Arlo Pros for about 2 years now and I needed more cameras since I moved to a bigger house in a dark neighborhood.
The installation was super simple and easy as per usual Arlo product fashion. The batteries last significantly longer than the camera batteries. In the 2 months, I've owned them I have only charged them once. They are very bright and very sensitive so even a cat walking by on the sidewalk will light them up.
Loses a star because the option to change the color of the light is a waste in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I think the option to change the color of the light is super awsome, but the fact that a candle can light up my driveway better than the color option does is just sad. Had the colorful option been brighter I would definitely be lighting up my driveway in a plethora of colors.

These lights are have good brightness and angle of coverage. I’m also glad that the USB charging port is at the bottom and not near the mounting screw like the cameras. Another plus is it comes with 2 wall mounts. I initially had a problem linking it due to distance, but can be remedied by coming closer to the transceiver hub. The only negative thing is setting the motion sensor sensitivity is difficult to estimate. You have to do some trial and error by actually walking in front of it. The software should have something like range, region, or angle covered. Was also on the expensive side. Good thing I got mine on sale.

I always wanted to add spot lights along with my cameras but the spot lights were a bit pricey, then the lights came on "Deal of the Day" for 50% off so I decided to pull the trigger and bought two kits I'm glad I did.
They are a great addition to my cameras. I placed one facing my front door and lights up the area nicely and another one facing the driveway. I placed the other two in the backyard lighting up my BBQ area and side yard.
I went one step further and purchased solar panels so i don't ever have to worry about charging the batteries.
They are easy to setup and mount, the app also allows you to set the times and duration's for each module.
They are also well built.

This is a nifty smart light that I added to my Arlo setup. Getting it in range of the included hub was a bit of a challenge. But once I got it connected, the light has been pretty cool. I have it mounted in my driveway so that it lights up our walkway at night when there is motion. No more fumbling with our iPhone flashlight! The light can also be set up to trigger an existing Arlo camera to start recording video...nice! Be aware that the light is not super bright like a true floodlight. It is however bright enough to light up objects about 20-30 feet in front of it.
