Solar Security Lighting Review

Our Solar Security Lighting Review is based on customer feedback and extensive testing undertaken here at The Solar Centre. We have stocked all these solar security lights at one time or another so The Solar Centre and our customers have a good working knowledge of each light featured.

Under Part P of the UK Building Regulations it is now compulsory to have any sort of electrical installation carried out by a qualified electrician, but this does not apply to any of the solar security lights listed below which are all safe and easy to install.

We hope you will find our solar security lighting review helpful when selecting your product.

We will add more solar security lights to this review as they become available so please check back soon.

The Evo36 Solar Security Light benefits from an innovative new reflector design that multiplies the brightness effect more than any other solar security light design we have seen before. This reflector combined with new and improved high powered LEDs make the Evo36 solar security light brighter than any Solar Security Light we’ve tested or sold that retails for under £100 (except the Evo56 of course). Both the Evo36 & Evo56 next generation Solar Security Lights have an optional Evo Booster Solar Panel upgrade available seperately for £24.99 which make them ideal for winter use or for when they are located in non-solar friendly locations. RRP £49.98

The Solar Mate Secure Professional was the best solar security light on the block until the Evo's moved in. It remains an extremely respectable and well made security light but with a recommended retail of £120 the Secure Professional is not for the faint hearted. RRP £119.99

The Solar Powered Security Light - HP 30 LED was a big seller in 2008 but has since been eclipsed by the arrival of the next generation Evo36 & Evo56 solar security lights. Still a respectable solar powered security light and a fair deal at £45. DISCONTINUED

The Ultra High Power 32 LED Solar Security Light is a solid security light that kicks out a bright light with a long detection range to match. The two lights can be angled in differing directions and the unit is very easy to install. The UHP32 was a very popular light in 2008 but has since been superceeded by the Evo36 & Evo56 next generation solar security lights. DISCONTINUED

If you want a traditional style solar light that offers solar security lighting, then look no further than the Solar Power Security Light. 3 stars is a little unfair on this hybrid light because it isnt a dedicated solar security light but it does a reasonable job either stake or wall mounted.
