DIY Security Light Showdown: Solar or Hardwired?

Описание: Thinking about installing a security light? In this video, I put two popular options head-to-head: a hardwired LED security light versus a solar-powered motion light.

I show you exactly how to install both types of outdoor lights, share pro tips on fitting and wiring, and then test them at night to see which one lights up the garden better. One requires proper tools and electrical knowledge, while the other just needs a drill. But which one actually works best for home security?

Both cost around £30—but they deliver very different results. If you're wondering whether a solar light is good enough or if a wired light is worth the effort, this is the video you need.
