Five Below's $5 Solar-Powered Motion-Activated Light Is Perfect for Homes With Dogs
If you have a dog, you know the struggle of nighttime potty outings. From being worried about potential predators such as coyotes to not being able to see your doggie at all (or their business), there are plenty of concerns when it comes to going outside in the dark with your pup. This is why getting a motion sensor light is a great idea. Luckily, you don't have to break the bank in order to find one, especially when stores like Five Below exist. Right now, the budget-friendly retailer is selling one for just $5!
Five Below's Solar-Powered Motion Sensor Light is a game changer for homes with dogs. It is powered by sunlight, meaning you never need to change its batteries, making it super practical and easy to use. It is also a breeze to mount thanks to its peel-and-stick mounting hardware.

The big draw of this solar sensor wall light is that it is motion activated, turning on whenever movement is detected. This can help ease either your or your pet's anxiety when going outside at night. Plus, there's less of a chance of you stepping in dog poop or tripping over an obstacle in your yard with the extra illumination.
What's more, this motion-activated light also acts as a deterrent for wildlife predators such as coyotes, raccoons or skunks, scaring them off and keeping your fur baby safe and sound. This is especially helpful if you have a small dog breed that is more vulnerable to these types of wildlife attacks.
You can find this motion-activated light at select Five Below stores or on Five Below's website. It retails for just $5.
