It only requires three screws to stay in place, but you’ll want to make sure it’s secured well, since the Floodlight Battery gets pretty heavy once you add four D cells to it. If you’re setting it up as a dumb light, you won’t need to do anything except pop in the batteries and attach the bracket to a sturdy wall or beam with a drill and the included screws. Like the rest of Ring’s products, the Floodlight Battery is incredibly easy to install and set up. Ring’s hallmark craftsmanship and set-it-and-forget-it simplicity are on full display, but the Floodlight Battery just doesn’t have the same elegance and sophistication as its camera-enabled products.

Rather, it feels like an Amazon Basics knockoff of the Floodlight Cam, albeit a quality one for the price. The other Ring devices in my home-the Doorbell Pro and Floodlight Cam-feel and function like premium smart home products, but the Floodlight Battery isn’t quite on the same level.
