Does it have to be in direct sunlight or can it be mounted under a tree?

Direct sun light. It should be moved every so often so the deer will not get use to the location.

I say yes in a particular environment. I have it in a hanging light fixture in the back porch and it works well... The light is bluish, like moonlight!... And it serves the purpose, which is lighting the steps. So, outdoors,but under a roof!

I hang mine from a tree....but it can also be hung by a pole. Either will work!

Definitely can be mounted easily to a tree without requiring any else. I love this thing BTW.

Mine is on my shed. Under a big Maple Tree. Gets direct sun maybe 3 hrs if that. Still works great.

Yes, it actually says not to put it in direct sunlight. I grow mine in a shaded corner of my counter.

Yes, I would recommend mounting the light under the eave to provide additional protection from rain and the elements. There is also a pedestal which enables you to mount the light on the ground (i.e. near a foot path or lighting up a garden).

Mine is mounted outside but in a covered location. I'm not sure if it weatherproof but I suspect that Square D can answer that better than I.

I mounted mine in an outdoor waterproof enclosure. Works great. Stays dry. Don't mount it outside without protection.

Place it in the sun or hang it where you want it. The sun will charge it. After dark it will have a dim light; when it senses motion, it will have a bright light.

It needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day it is not an indoor tree unless it's a hot house mine is outside unless the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

That's a good question. Being on the water, I have a lot of direct sun. So, I don't know the answer to your question specifically. I see other solar lights that are placed on sidewalks under a canopy of trees and they still work. How long and how well, though, I don't know. Perhaps going to a local lighting store and asking them might provide a knowledgeable answer.

Yes y can mount it with screws but keep in mind it needs sunlight to charge and under a tree may not be the best place

Yes, direct sunlight or some very bright artificial lighting that replicates sunlight. Indirect sunlight is not sufficient to make it run.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

It could hang from a tree just fine. I have it hanging from a hook on our gazebo. It does need to be level, though.

It could be mounted on the outside. I'm not positive if its water resistan but If it is I'm sure it will probably rust a little. I have little tit on my windows and mounted it inside and it's extremely bright even through the tint!
