Q: I have a stick up cam mounted on my deck but it lacks night vision. How bright would this get if I wanted to put it on my deck to eliminate my night vision problem?

A: In my opinion, this should do the job that you want. It illuminates well. It’s not as bright as a flood light would give out, but it’s bright enough to keep the bad guys away.

Q: Does this work without ring bridge?

A: Yes it does. The reason for the bridge is to link other Ring devices together. For Instance, if my motion detector spotlight senses activity, it can turn on my cameras/lights in other places around the house.

Q: How long is the battery life?

A: This light requires 4DD batteries. Mine is about 4 months old now and still have not changed the batteries. It all depends on how frequently the light goes on. You can set up times wen u want it to go on or not. (I have mine off during the day and set to go on with motion at dusk)

Q: Can this light be turned on an stay on till u turn it off? I don't want motion sensor.

A: Hello chasexas1, Good question! Yes, the lights can be manually toggled on within the Ring App. Ring Spotlight is designed to last around a year on one set of batteries under normal use. Battery life is dependent on device settings, usage, and other factors such as the weather. Brightness may decrease as battery life is depleted. Ring recommends using standard alkaline batteries in Floodlight Battery. Rechargeable batteries will work in Ring Spotlight, though they may not last as long as alkaline batteries. Heavy-duty batteries should not be used in Ring Spotlight. Lithium batteries will also work in Ring Spotlight and are recommended when the weather is extremely cold.

Q: I have a semi dark area that never sees full daylight but I would want this to come on anytime in a 24 hour period if it sensed movement. So can I disable the dusk to dawn setting?

A: No, but you can adjust the light level that it regards as dusk. I have a similar area the that worked for me. Hope this helps. I think Best Buy/Ring should maintain a database of answers to questions like these. I had to experiment with setting.

Q: Do you have to buy the bridge or will this work with just the app?

A: Yes, you need the $50 bridge.

Q: Can this be eave mounted? Should the motion ball be on the bottom then, or flipped over?

A: Directions state that motion dome should be on bottom when mounted.

Q: How do you put an ON and OFF night light schedule on the app? On my app it’s only showing motion and 1,5,10,15 minutes light ON. I’m trying to get constant lighting over night.

A: Hi Christopher. Thanks for reaching out. The Ring Battery-Powered Smart Spotlight is a motion-activated light. It is battery-powered and does not offer light scheduling.
