- How long does it stay lit after a full charge?
- Run time depends on the battery and the brightness setting, and a light this bright will not last all night. Expect the longest run on the lower setting after a full sunny day. Cloudy weeks shorten it sharply.
- Will 8,000 lumens really come out of a solar light?
- Treat the figure as a peak rating measured at full charge in direct sun. Real output drops as the battery drains and on overcast days. It is still bright enough for a large shed.
- Can it be used indoors?
- Yes, the listing rates it for indoor and outdoor use. The solar panel still needs direct sun, so mount the panel outside and run the cable to the light inside.
- Does it need direct sunlight?
- Yes. A panel in shade or behind glass charges poorly. Aim for a south-facing spot with several hours of unobstructed sun.
- What controls does it have?
- A pull string turns it on and off. There is no wall switch, dimmer or remote in the listed specs.
- Is the 1,500-watt rating the power it uses?
- No. That is the maximum bulb wattage the fixture is rated to hold. The LED itself draws only a small fraction of that.
- Where is the Solar Shed Light Indoor Outdoor 8000lm Daytime Available Pendant Light with Pull String cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $35.99, as of our latest check.
