Frequently Asked Questions - Solar Square Decking Light

Question:

Hi I've had some of the solar square decking lights for just over two years, so out of warranty. Two of the 13 have failed and ive traced it to the led driver on the pcb. Do you supply the little pcb as a spare?

Question:

hi, I've just brought a set of your solar lights for decking and I was reading the instructions and it said to be fitted horizontal , what sort do I need for the steps of the decking where I might want to use them vertical .

Question:

Hello, I have two questions. Question 1 - I have 150mm wide deck boards. Will this be OK? Question 2 - my boards are laid and cannot be lifted. If I cut a hole I am trying to figure out how easy it is to attach these t Lights assuming that I cannot lift the decking? Thanks
By Ross Johnston on Apr 16,2015

Answer:

The lights are installed from the top down so you should not need to lift the decking. The recessed part is 92 x 92 mm wide. I cannot recommend if this is okay for your decking.

Question:

1) I'm assuming they are fully waterproof? Would this include when decking is washed?
2) Obviously people will walk on the decking - will these take the weight of a person on the glass without breaking?
By Miles on Jan 24,2014

Answer:

1) Yes, they are fine left outside all year round. I'd probably recommend popping them out their recess if you use a high pressure hose on you deck to be on the safe side.
2) Yes, people can walk over these without any problems.

Question:

Do these lights come with holes for fixing to the decking with screws?
By Jojo on Jan 24,2014

Answer:

Yes, there are screwholes in the base part that can be used to fix it down to the deck if required.
