Sequence (#N1ab): Img.558/ Abb.559
Here are photos of how to install the solar version of four "motion-sensitive security lamps" designed to be installed and used outdoors (outside the apartment). I installed the four lamps shown here in such a way that they illuminate both of the front doors to our apartment, as well as the rest of the apartment's perimeter, and at the same time that their installation "climbs as steeply as possible up the moral field." Thus, if either I or my wife now return to the apartment after nightfall, then upon entering the "field of view" of the motion sensor of the nearest of these lamps, it turns on the light, so that our path and all our doorway activities are well illuminated by it. Since anything that moves in their "field of view" causes these lamps to light up, they are also excellent "security lamps" to deter possible criminals from lurking, or up to something, at the door or windows of our apartment. In addition, powering these lamps with solar electricity adds my own "brick" to freeing our civilization from the clutches of monopolies and electric cartels immorally forcing environmentally dirty and expensive grid electricity with their manipulations.

In turn, if you wish to make it easier for yourself to read captions and view photographs simultaneously, then open this page in as many as two windows, of which in one window you will set for yourself the photographs, while in the other window you will set for yourself the text of the caption you are reading).

The appearance of the four factory packs of the lamp discussed here is called "Motion Sensor Security Light" in English. Each of these packages measures 24x23.5x14 cm. Since I have as many as four such identical packages, I was able to show all the printed sides of them in the photo (the front and back sides and both sides are identically printed). Each package contains in it: (1) LED lamp with parameters - weight 2. 3 kg, power of 5 Watt, voltage of 9 Volt, output of 460 Lumen of white light (460 Lumen is equivalent to the amount of light generated by a traditional incandescent bulb of a little over 50 Watt - so it is sufficient for relatively good illumination with a range of up to 12 meters); this lamp has a permanently built-in "motion sensor" and 5 rechargeable AA battery size (finger type), I was impressed by its incandescent bulb - it belongs to the type currently with the highest known efficiency; (2) "Amorphous" solar panel with parameters of 9 volts and 1. 6 Watt and measuring 23x23x5cm and weighing 1.7 kg; (3) a 5-meter cable with a plug that feeds electricity from the solar panel to the lamp's socket; (4) 6 screws needed to install the lamp and solar panel plus 6 plastic tubes needed if you are screwing it to brick or concrete, for example; (5) installation and use instructions (installing it can be very easy - just screw it to something). This lamp is "Made in China" by the company "Urban Solar".

Taken from the main entrance door to my apartment, this photo shows the way I installed the first of the lamps described here at this main entrance door. This main door is on the east side of our apartment. They are accessed by 3 stairs, while at the top of the stairs there is a kind of "shed" (i.e. a canopy visible in the photo, and connecting our apartment with the apartment of our neighbors on the east side). This "shed" is actually an extension of the roof of both apartments, the roofs of which it connects. It is intended to protect the car parked at the apartment for the night from the rain. Hence, I installed this lamp at a distance of about 4 meters from the door - in such a way that it illuminates simultaneously: getting out of the car that arrives at night, climbing the 3 stairs to the apartment, and opening the apartment's front door. In order to make it easier to install, both the lamp itself and the solar panel that powers it, I first screwed on the ground to an old pine board (the one visible in the photo in brown), then I screwed this board to the wooden structure of the roof of the "shed" by the apartment door. (Notice from the photo how this 2 cm thick board already bends under the 1.7 kg weight of a single solar panel). I put the solar panel outside the canopy of the "shed" - so that it would be illuminated by sunlight throughout the day and charge the batteries of this lamp, while I oriented this panel in such a way that it faces northwest - because from my observations of the sun, it seems that in that position the NZ sun usually shines the strongest and is least obscured by clouds. Also visible in the photo are similar to mine, the front door to another apartment adjacent to mine on the east side (i.e., this door is visible beyond the date the photo was taken), and there are also visible two metal laundry hangers (ours and our neighbor's) located under the roof of the "shed," but mounted high enough to allow a passenger car to be parked underneath. So when laundry is left on our hanger for the night, then the movement of this laundry by the wind also causes the lamp in question to light up. But because its light costs me nothing, this lighting by the wind does NOT worry me at all. (It would only worry me if I used a similar lamp but powered from the mains, because then I would have to pay additionally for the energy burned because of such nighttime stirring of the laundry, while the very stirring of our laundry would support the interests of monopolies and electric cartels). A similar situation is with the lamps from Img.560 (#N1c) shown below, which illuminate our western entrance door from the garden and the northern wall of our apartment - they too can sometimes be switched on by the wind which strongly moves the plants included in the range of their motion sensors - but the (rather sporadic) night illumination of these garden lamps also does NOT worry me at all.
