- Does it need direct sunlight to work?
- Yes, the panel needs a few hours of sun to charge the battery. In shaded spots or long cloudy spells the light runs dimmer and shorter.
- Can the solar panel be mounted away from the light?
- Yes. The panel connects by cable, so you can put it in the sunniest spot while the light sits over a door, gate or path.
- Is it bright enough to replace a mains security light?
- No. It is a modest path and shed light, not a substitute for a mains floodlight over a driveway or large yard.
- Is it weatherproof?
- It carries an IP65 rating, so it resists rain and dust. It is not designed to be submerged or used indoors.
- What is in the box?
- The light head, solar panel, mounting bracket and screws, and a cable. A rechargeable battery is built in.
- How long does the light stay on after motion?
- It runs for a short set period after triggering, typically under a minute, then returns to standby to save charge.
