The 8 Best outdoor Lights For Ring (2023 reviews)

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a light. This product is exactly that - it's a simple product that hits all the right notes. The camera is great at capturing movement and the app is easy to use. It helps with ease of being home alone and you hear something outside. It is definitely very wide and captures movement and picture across a very wide area. The range is easily adjusted by creating different zones to accommodate viewing you may want to capture. Whenever there's an event or when it detects something is moving, it activates the recording and saves it as a clip for you to view. The motion detector is practically useless for the lights if it can be set off by every flittering bug or marauding cat.

The lights can be angled as needed and are bright.

Best Battery life: Ring path Light

Buy on Amazon

It is great lights to light up pathways and landscaping. They feel sturdy and they look terrific, unlike some you might find at the home improvement store. They are on a low beam until they sense motion like someone walking by or into your yard. They add alot of light when activated, just a little bit of light when they are idle and look fancy.

Batteries last for at least 8 months. It is best to put these within a few feet of the exterior of your dwelling for optimal functionality in terms of the Ring Pathlights triggering the video devices. They are easy to install and group together to light an entire walkway when motion is detected by just one of the lights. It is easy to avoid being detected, so of minimal value as a security deterrent.

Why We Like This:

Lights up front of house as people walk to door
Very responsive motion detection light system
Ring is great, expand your system over time, simple to add devices

Best With other Ring cameras: Ring HD Camera

Buy on Amazon

This wired floodlight is a motion detector and can be set to stay on for up to 15 minutes each time it senses motion. It works in conjunction with ring doorbell and doorbell can be set to record when motion is detected. It can be motion activated or turned on with an app on your phone or alexa. The smart light will detect motion and not turn on light until it gets darker outside.

The lights on this floodlight model are yellow, while the lights on the Spotlight Cam Wired are DAYLIGHT. It’s very sensitive to movement and the LED light is much brighter than the original halogen. It also stats on while there is movement.

Why We Like This:

Installation is easy and the instruction is clear
Must have a clean wifi signal or use as door stop
You can control the light with alexa on a echo show
Must have for your ring security system

Best For most part: outdoor Light For Ring

Buy on Amazon

If you often find yourself confused about appropriate and satisfactory light, this product is your end point. Floodlights are nice and bright, just be careful how you aim the lights with these cameras, or risk angering your neighbors. It is great for lights and quality video monitoring through the ring app. There's a gui button in the app that controls it when you want it on. It easily hardwires to the outside of your home and connects to wifi for around-the-clock power and peace of mind.

The camera will wirelessly connect to whatever network that you choose. It looks great and works amazing. It has color night vision. It comes with a mounting bracket that should line up with the junction box.

Why We Like This:

Excellent image in low light / darkness
Easy install exceptional picture and quality
Works great has to be hard wired
Great video quality and catches every thing

Best diffused Light: Ring Bright Light

Buy on Amazon

The smart light features (with the Ring Lighting Bridge) allow for the Steplight to send motion alerts. It doesn’t take much to lift up on any of the lights and get them off the mounting plate. The light is shaped so that it slopes and angles and it’s very difficult to get enough surface area to mount the light. The light intensity is adjustable through the app and the movement sensor will help in determining if someone approaches the pool.

The black light covers contrast very well against all white terrace walls. There is a brightness setting bar but it won't completely shut off the light even if it is all the way down. It’s easy and fairly inexpensive to buy some extras to switch them out. They take rechargeable 18650 protected cell batteries.

Why We Like This:

Lights up all night and has smart features
Bright, small, easy to use light
Design is nice, works well with app
You can control their brightness individually in the settings for motion or manual on

Best For use: Ring No Camera

Buy on Amazon

This light only responds to motion. It gives the light you need where you need it. The motion detection is very sensitive to moving shadows from clouds, and whigh is quite annoying on a partly cloudy and breezy day. It is great for use to see the dog run the back fence line.

It's an amazing small product, very bright and the sensor works great. It would come on with direct sunlight on it. The light is in position to light the doorbell area, it is triggered as people come up the driveway. It would work well as long as you have the hub/bridge as well to activate when motion is detected.

Why We Like This:

Great safety feature for the house
Really nice light, very bright, easy to install, and works great with the app
Easy to install and link to other devices such as cameras

Best For an extra warning system: Ring Great Light

Buy on Amazon

The old battery powered lights chew through D cells real quick so these are far more environmentally friendly as well. They detect motion and work well to light up when they see someone. The lights will also stay on the bright setting as long as there is motion going on. They are rechargeable solar batteries. The motion sensed, bright setting, is VERY bright and also has adjustable brightness for the duration of the timer. The light brightness is set at about 40% from dusk until dawn. The dead pathlight is installed where it will get 8+ hours of sunlight a day.

Why We Like This:

Integrates well with other hue lights too to create motion triggered actions or automation
Fit great in the ring echo system
One of the new comers and featured product
