The solar light came packed in a plain white box inside
which you find the solar light, 2 adhesive pads, wall-plug , screw and instruction
leaflet. The solar light is professional in its appearance, curving out from
the bottom with the solar panel and back in with the bright led light. On the
front of the device you find the PIR motion sensor and two dusk activating
light strips. The rear of the device has a single switch (moves left or right)
to switch between auto and off.
It was a few days before I could install the light as its
initial charge requires 36-48hours of solar. It doesn’t need one of those rare
sunny England days to charge, daylight will suffice. (Please note that this is
a one off charge, once installed it will do a top up charge of 4.5hours a day.)
Installation was as simple as mounting a wall clock. You drill a hole, put in
the wall plug, put in the provided screw, turn on the light and finally put it up.
The adhesive pads were a nice addition, they were not mentioned in the manual. Although
double-sided (intended for sticking to a flat wall) we left these as single-sided
and stuck behind the unit so it would not rub on the brick-work and also have a
snug fit on the screw.
The solar light was fitted to the chimney on the side of our
house so that there was light to access the cars in the dark. The light is
bright enough to reach a good 5 metre radius in front of it and the pir motion
sensor works instantly. The two strip lights on the front of the device show
when it has detected dusk and shows you where to walk. After motion is detected
it will turn on the light for a duration of 40 seconds (unless motion is again
detected). Overall this is a very good product, I like that it is energy
efficient, easy to install and has not wires.
