- Today, we are going to check out the new Solar Powered Smart Lighting from Ring. They released solar powered or more accurately solar charged - rechargeable battery powered outdoor smart lights. They now have the solar floodlight, solar pathlights and solar step lights. We will also check out their new smart bulb...an A19 Dimmable LED Bulb.
We will do a quick unboxing, set it up and do the installation and integrate these lights to my 10 month old Ring Smart Lighting System. We will see if these solar powered smart lights from Ring will find their way around your house and property.

LifeHackster, it “ amazes” me, that you don’t have at LEAST 100k subscribers. I have followed you for a year now, and your content, video editing, and explanation of each product are no less than exemplary. Few CZcamsrs go into such “ great details “ as you. Your personality is pleasant, and engaging, and your presentation of each new tech review is noteworthy.
"Hello, guys. Lifehackster HERE." ;-)
@@anthonyc1883 best part of the videos LOL. I love it
Mela'n Greathouse Agree, this guy is a hard worker. I’m pretty sure that his efforts soon will be paid off.
Agreed!
I agree. The time and effort you put in is great! I think you're presentations are excellent! Very helpful!
Just looking at your backyard, makes me feel safe..my anxiety completely went away. With a yard like that, I'd hang out there all night. Great video.
I just got a new solar Flood light, I’m impressed with it so far. You just have to play around with the sensor until you get to light up. The lights are pretty powerful, and since you can set how high or low you want the lights can light up. I’m thinking of getting more for around the house. Thanks for your reviews!!
I requested a review of the “Ring smart bulb A19” and you delivered in a very short time, not only that but you reviewed the whole smart lights Ring can offer! And this is the only youtube channel of it’s kind. Why you don’t have 2 million subs is outrageous! Dude you’re awesome!
Thank you. I appreciate the comments..
Your videos are very informative and well thought out. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
im soo happy ur still makn vids during these crazy times , plz keep it up :)
I actually have more time to make videos :) thanks.
Thanks for the review! I asked you about these in your last videos! Appreciate it!
You are welcome.
Loved it, keep them coming!
Great video, I love your channel!
Spot on!
Very cool setup! I was wondering how bright the solar light was and it looks great! Sub and Like added! Great video!
I like Mr Beams lights. I have one on my front porch. Same batteries for 2 years and still working.
Awesome video! Thanks for all the work!
Thank you for your review as I am interested in the Ring solar products.
You are welcome.
You are my go to guy for your clear and complete videos. Thank you.
Has ring solved the problem with spiders walking across the motion detector in the floodlight cam. I’m hesitant to buy more floodlight cams and other motion detectors.
Great stuff on all your vids
Amazing and timely info. Thanks.
@user-vu6bk8pw2v...Thanks for watching!
Hey lifehackster ... awesome reviews as always ..
Thank you.
Can the Dusk to Dawn settings allow you to adjust brightness levels? Example: I don’t want set to full bright to waste battery all night.
Nice review, thanks. 👍🏼
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Great video. Have some questions. How does the light sensor threshold work? Which setting should use? Also I get alerts on the solar floodlight but light doesn't come on. Just wondering if you had any problems.
My question regarding the solar floodlight is regarding the placement of the solar panel. I have eaves on the back of my house where a battery floodlight is. It isn't going to be easy to put the panel in direct sunlight. How would it work in a slightly more shaded area?
Great video thanks for sharing . I just had to get a new ring pro from ring cause my 4 year old pro is giving me problems. So I hope the new version will be better. I have 4 others ring stick up cams around the house. And solar lights as well . nice set up u have there.
Yes..if your pro is 4 years old..it definitely needs an update..
Hi LifeHacster, I have a Eufy doorbell. How can I trigger the front door entrance light to turn on when someone approaches my front door (Eufy doorbell). Is it possible using a smart switch for the front door light ? Which switch brand (no hub required, neutral wired) I should go for to work with Eufy doorbell ?
Thank you for the video. Does the Alexa echo also work with the ring bulbs? Thank you for your time.
Also, can you also help which products might work in snow weather as well
works great ... very bright light
I like the battery powered floodlights, I don't put it full brightness because my camera system doesn't need that much light to get a clear image and I only need it bright enough to show me a clear path so I dim it down a bit. Best thing is even if the power went out and no internet the floodlights still work as intended.
So if u you buy the solar panel, the battery only serves as a back up? Will I have to replace the battery inside of a year?
Information is a little confusing on this point, but are the light bulbs able to stay on all night or do they always shut off after a few minutes? I’m okay with path lights and spot lights being motion trigger only, but want ring flood light and light bulb to be able to stay on as long as I want.
Hey man question, my parents have the Ring Spotlight Wired Cam. Currently have the settings for notifications to be people only, however at night, the lights still get triggered by motion of bugs. Do you know if there's a way for the lights to only turn on if it sees an actual person?
HI, awesome videos, super helpful. You start from basics and explain in detail. I am starting to try smart home ideas from your channel. can you also guide on how to start with hub. somehow your videos are heavy on Ring devices. Perhaps a good idea to start videos on Smart home guide for dummies
I have a question and hopefully you can answer it. We have floodlight cameras and we want to set it so the lights do not come on by motion after 11pm. Does the ring bridge enable us to do that or is it just for their “smart lighting products?” (Based off of 8:00)
I see what it looks like the new upcoming EUFY Indoor Cam 2K Pan & Tilt slightly hidden in the right side behind the other cams on the top shelf! Or at least i hope is the new EUFy cam!
I wish it is here..not yet..but it is the box of the pathlight...it was from the older version. Thanks.
Can you set I smart lights to an existing bridge or specific bridge for lighting
How have the path life's held up? Amazon reviews state they aren't water proof. Would you recommend them? Thank you.
How do you get ring products to turn on and stay on for more than a few minutes? I have some on a schedule that turn on a specific times in the evening. But what I don't know how to do is say got to the backyard at night and turn on all my lights in the backyard and say keep them all on for a couple of hours. They all are motion based right now and turn off sporadically and turn back on when they detect motion again.
In the beginning of the video, you showcased the solar path light (with dark blue packaging) Then it changed to the older version (light blue packaging) right after and at the end of the video. I knew I wasn’t tripping.
True..but you are a bit late..next time thanks.
Question for you . Not related to this but on the eufy cameras please . I was hoping to return my Arlo pro3 camera kit and exchange for eufy . Which eufy cameras do you recommend that are most similar if not better than Arlo pro 3 . Thanks very much
The Eufy cam 2C are pretty good.
Quality video!
I have a question regarding RING smart light bulb. I have a lamp post in my front yard that has no on/off switch but works on a light sensor. My understanding is that the RING smart bulb will not work in my lamp post. Does that sound correct!
does the solar floodlight have a camera or it is just a light? would be good for the backyard if you don't have a junction box there.
Thanks.
My battery spotlight cam has been doing that too. When the pathlight goes on, it's supposed to trigger the battery cam to record, it flashes the light and then it goes off. Continues to record though.
I’m hoping Ring will fix this soon.. it doesn’t doing this when I initially integrated it several months ago.
Love my ring system also
Cool..
Thank you for the review. Do you have plans on reviewing the new ring chime/chime pro? Wanted to see if you own it and what your thoughts were on the updated/newer versions.
I have the old ring chime..you really don’t need it though. I use my echo devices like the dot and the echo show to announce motion or when somebody pushes the doorbell.
I looked at ring lights. They said ring Bridge required. Do I need that if I have the ring security system?
I have the battery and solar lights, I also wish that Ring will offer the lights in the brighter Kelvin instead of just the warm white. These are great products that integrate with cameras that no one else offers at this time. Another great video.
I know.. that is my main issue with them..
Do you have to have internet service to use any of these ring devices?
LifeHackster, where can I ifnd the low voltage lighting? They were in the green box behind you.
What are the wired outdoor lights in the front plugged into ring bridge and power?
I finally isntalled some smart lighting from Ring, now that I’m closer to complete my system. However, the ONLY thing I don’t like so far, is that you cannot give access to share users to lighting whatsoever. Do you know if sometime they will update to be able to do that? That’s kind of downgrade. I was hoping (basically sure) this was shareable.
Can the Ring Solar Flood Lights be connected to a regular Ring outdoor camera?
Hi, I was thinking of getting this floodlight for my house. What is the detection range?
Mr beams floodlight bright at all or do you just like the color of the light?
What kind of wireless security camera is good for Canadian winter? -20 C or so. Thanks
Go with wired cameras..like NVR cameras..battery powered ones will not be reliable due to the cold temp.
@@LifeHackster I actually have 3 battery powered Ring cameras and they never failed me in Canadian winter. It just sucks changing batteries during -20C
6:13 I don't know why but it's so funny how they used the same format as nutrition facts hahaha
Does the solar panel work with the floodlight camera pro?
Very nice setup hackster
Thank you.
Whats better, Ring Floodlight Battery or Ring Floodlight Solar? (which has battery packs in it and twice the lumens)?? Guessing the new solar one...
There is a hand with a phone on the box of solar pathway light. That one has different packaging then the ones you showed in the beginning of the video.
You again Surge P.. lol .. congratulations! I used the older pathlight box..I think I already know your email..but just in case, email me back. I’ll send the gift card later today. Thank you!
Wondering if you were able to get the A19 smart bulbs to work? I have tried everything to get them to work on a schedule. Even Ring support hasn’t been able to resolve the problem.
Yes..I haven’t had any issues with it..I have it on a schedule..
Lifehackster do you have any videos of specifically the ring solar floodlight?
I’m good if Ring made the color choice changeable, but I’m the guy that likes the 3000k light and buys them because of that. Happy with my 2 Ring A19 bulbs. Triggers from my Ring house powered flood light or my Ring outdoor camera.
Cool..my front yard is still 3k because of rings floodlight but I wish they are bicolor.. thanks.
i like 5000k because it renders night time video with vivid color.
Ring is a pioneer. It is a premium products with great experience overall. For me only one reason do not allow to fully switch to Ring is video quality of their cameras. Incredibly bad light sensitivity at low light situation dramatically affecting perception of video quality. Sometimes it seems like not even 720p. Anyway reliability and innovation is Ring’s upside.
I do agree with you..they are innovative.
Can you make a vid on the yale all in one outdoor camera plz
Hi there LifeHackster, I am considering purchasing the ring doorbell solar charger, do you have any experience with them .
Not really but as long as there is some sunlight that will hit the panels..it should work ok.
What is the brand of the low voltage lights you are using in your front yard? What router do you use to manage all this?
I have the portfolio brand from Lowe’s..as to router.. I have eeros mesh but it is the rings bridge that controls and connects the lights to the ring app.
Seems Ring Floodlight Solar won’t ship to Canada (probably not passed some silly regulation yet), but Ring will ship the Floodlight Battery and Wired models as well as just the separate Solar Panel. Is it possible to hook up the ‘sold separately’ solar panel to the Floodlight Battery or Floodlight Wired? Are the connectors the same?
Connector is the same (barrel type) but for the battery floodlight..I don’t think there is an option for the wired one.
Hey bro,
Great video.
What’s the brand of your low voltage lights ?
Thanks
Portfolio brand at Lowe’s.
Is the ring SOLAR FLOODLIGHT BRIGHTER THEN A ring CAMERA FLOODLIGHT??
U Setup And Unboxing Ring Solar Floodlight An Floodlight Battery And Ring Solar Steplight And Ring Pathlight Battery
Does the ring app still limit the smart lights to only be on for a maximum of 15 minutes? I have the wired floodlight and I have not been impressed. Maybe I have the settings wrong or something.
If you turn it on manually..yes..but you can schedule it in the light settings to any time range even dusk til dawn.. it will just turn off when the battery is drained.
Can the A19 do dusk to 12am at dimmed level and brighten to full triggered by linked device?
There is no option to change intensity when you link it at this time.
@@LifeHackster I just got the A19 bulbs and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I set them each to turn on till I turn them off when I activate them, and when I turn them on they turn themselves off whenever they want, after a few minutes, even if I have them set to stay on till I turn them off.
Does this require a subscription for alert history, even though you don't have any cameras?
No it doesn’t need a subscription..
Hi lifehackster. I'm looking for a wireless camera that will make a sound when it sense motions. What do you recommend.?
Reolink’s cameras have these option. Like their Argus line of cameras. Yi outdoor has this option too.
@@LifeHackster thank you. I been looking up them up
Hi LifeHackster, as always, amazing video, watching them even that I don’t want to buy any of these products. I know these kind of videos trigger the most views, but could you also do maybe a little playlist with POE cameras like you did with the swann cameras. But more on the way (as swann) with smart detection without any connection to a server. I lately saw the Hikvision Accusens for example. I know it is easy with the server version of Ring. For detection only it is perfect, but got my problems that when I’m in my backyard with family that everything is send to the cloud? For the front side of the house I don’t mind, even if I’m entering of leaving the house. But for indoor or the backyard. So I like to keep it local secured with a VPN connection to access from distance. (But I haven’t solved the issue with having a VPN connection that the local device sends me push notifications... hmmm...
Thank You and I'm just waiting for Reolink to release their AI NVR cameras... unfortunately there is a hardware change and you will need to purchase different IP cams... well, we will see.
waiting on ring to contact me so i can test some more products for them (hint hint ring) lol... looking good so far. I just had the power go out in the middle of your video. any word when ring will go 24/7 recording? thieves hit across the street, it didnt trip motion otherwise it would have recorded. the motion sensitivity needs to be fixed ring! it's either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you changed it several months ago with a firmware update, it was working great before why change it?!
I’m not sure when Ring is going to push through with that.. nest recently emailed their users about them adjusting (lowering) their bandwidth setting which resulted in lower quality video because of the pandemic and a lot of people are using the internet..I’m not really fond of 24/7 recording for WiFi cameras because of this. NVR or local recording is the way to go if you want 24/7 recording. Thanks.
Hey, as always great reviews, but question...
I guess, for the A19 Smart Bulb to work, you will have to leave the switch of the corresponding light, on, if you have a schedule. But, let’s say the schedule is 12:00am to 6:00am, and you want to turn it on, you will have to manually do it on the app, I guess? Since the switch is already on, but with a “scheduled on time”, correct? How does that works?
If you want it on..manually, just toggle the switch to OFF and then ON..it will override the schedule..
LifeHackster And then, if left on, once entering the schedule it will follow it later automatically on the cycle, or will have to enable it somehow again?
Can you turn off the motion detection on the solar path light and set a schedule to turn on and off? Thanks
Yes, you can...
Okay cool! Thanks again
Is there a Ring solar floodlight camera?
Just got my solar path light from Amazon :D
Did the path lights work as advertised?
@@Mykal2k8 yes it does
@@thonchaiyangywjpheej7573
Will the ring lights work with z wave Ring says yes but the bridge says nothing. ?
I don’t think it will work..they didn’t specify if they used z wave for the smart lights..their alarm sensors are though.
New packaging for ring products.
In another video, you have your cameras set up to a large monitor. Can you direct me on how to set that up?
The blue light
It's the yellow shirt! ;)
:) lol..
Love your videos LifeHackster, I noticed that you are also having the same issue that I am having with the battery Powered Spotlight Camera and the Spotlight. That the Spotlight Camera's light turns on and then off after it is triggered by the Spotlight motion Sensor. Hopefully Ring resolves the issue, either way love your videos and I was truly waiting for this video as I am planning on buying a few of their solar Smart Lighs
When I first set it up, it was working pretty good..so ring might have messed up a firmware update. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.
The path lights box at the end doesn’t match you have the regular one in the back round and not the solar powered one.
Yes it is..but you are a tad late.. thanks.
QUESTION: Wish I knew what wired pathlights you are using.
It is the portfolio brand from Lowe’s..
Thanks a bunch - impressive how quickly you responded
I like your JD hat where did you get it?
Tell us more about that motion detector that's on your fence. Is that tied into your Ring system.
@A I I looked on Rings shop and couldn't find any outside sensor. I'll scroll through his past videos. Thank you
It is the motion detector from rings smart lights -> amzn.to/2VBbJcg
@@LifeHackster 🙏
Need this stuff in uk
The ring pathlight box at the end isn't the solar version, it's the battery version.
True. But you are a bit late..somebody answered it first. Thanks and next time.
Is the solar panel water proof?
What is wrong with this picture is the box for the ring pathlight! That’s not the solar version box but the battery powered! Yay!!
True..but you are a bit late.
Any ideas why Ring hasn't brought their smart lights to Australia?
nightmarerambo7777 With this pandemic everything is postponed i guess.
I’m not sure but hopefully soon.
What kind of camers do u use?
For filming, check the description and I have a link of what I use. Thanks.
Nice video. The only thing I noticed was you were filming in a red shirt but finished in a yellow shirt. not sure if you filmed at different times.
Yes different shirt but it was to pathlight box which I’m referring to..it was from the old model.
Why does solar path lights not have dusk to dawn
I like your accent 😄
On the pictures show the Pathlight Battery box and not the new solar Pathlight box.
True but a bit late. Somebody answered first. Next time..
