Iwoukld really like the round solar type light but are to be put into concrete slabs. Do you have any that are suitable for this

Question:

Could you confirm the size of the hole I'd need to drill into my decking to fit these please? BR Mark
By Mark Gamble on Mar 22,2015

98mm. You would still need a small saw to make indents for the screw hole recesses on the underside of the light.

Question:

I want to install circular solar lights into the coping stones surrounding a swimming pool in the Canary Islands (so very good solar conditions) would these be suitable or do you have a more suitable product? I would need about 12. With regards to the screw fixings would I therefore need to fit a timber Patrice to screw the lights to as they would be going into stone, what do you suggest?
By steve j on Oct 13,2014

Answer:

You'll need to drill a hole in the stone to allow for drainage so they don't "sit" in water. If this isn't possible the Edinburghs will be your best bet as they don't require the drainage hole.

Question:

Have just mived into a property and have these lights on decking but do not operate. Is it most probable that the battery would need replacing? They are roughly 10 years old
By Andrew smart on Oct 11,2014

Yes, that would be a good first and cost effective step to take. It may be the units need replacing if they're 10 years old, depending on how much wear and tear they've been subjected to.

Question:

can these lights be used on a driveway and be driven over by a car?
By steve on Mar 22,2014
