Q Do these lights come on when heat- or movement- activated.please? Hoping to find one I can push into the soil but not easily pullupable.
A The Light is activated via a standard Passive Infra Red (PIR) that works in exactly the same way as any mains powered version. With regards to fixing it to the ground it could easily be bolted down to concrete.

During the day the Astron64 Solar Security Light's 2.5 watt solar panel charges its internal 2500mAh Lithium Ion battery giving it the power it needs to light after dark.
After dark the Astron64 will activate as soon as it detects motion. The time the Astron64 stays lit for is adjustable from 5 seconds to 1 minute. At dawn the Astron64 stops activating and starts charging.

Dimensions:
Light:
Height: 21.5cm
Width: 16.5cm
Depth: 5.5cm
Solar Panel:
Height: 13.7cm
Width: 19cm
Depth: 2.6cm
Whats in the box?
The Astron Solar Floodlight comes with everything you need in the box.
What is ‘remote PIR’?
Many customers have asked us to make a solar security light that has a separate PIR motion sensor giving greater freedom of positioning. The Astron motion sensor comes with 20cm of cable which enables it to be neatly mounted close to the light. Also in the box is a 1m PIR extension cable so you can locate the PIR motion sensor up to 1.2m away from the light unit should you wish.
How waterproof is it?
The Astron64 Solar Security Light is IP56 rated.
Waterproofing is rated by the IP (International Protection) system which consists of the letters IP followed by two digits. The first digit after IP ranks a products protection against solid objects. The second digit after the IP rates a products ability to protect against liquids.
The Astron Solar Floodlight is IP56 rated making it our most waterproof light yet. IP56 means the Astron is protected against dust - limited ingress (no harmful deposit) and protected against strong jets of water e.g. for use on shipdecks - limited ingress permitted.
What is the difference between the Astron64 and the Astron Solar Floodlight?
There are 4 key differences between the two lights.
1. Function
The Astron64 is a motion sensor activated light which only comes on when it detects motion. The Astron Solar Floodlight stays on constantly for up to 12 hours a night and is operated by remote control.
2. Battery capacity
Because the Astron64 only comes on when it detects motion, it doesn’t need a battery as big as the battery in the Astron Solar Floodlight. The battery in the Astron Solar Floodlight is 4 times larger than the battery in the Astron64.
3. Solar panel power
Because the Astron64 only comes on when it detects motion, it doesn’t need a solar panel as big as the solar panel that comes with the Astron Solar Floodlight. The solar panel that comes with the Astron Solar Floodlight is 4 times larger than the solar panel that comes with the Astron64.
4. Brightness
The Astron64 has 64 LED bulbs wheras the Astron Solar Floodlight has 45 LED bulbs. The Astron64 is 30% brighter than the Astron Solar Floodlight, but it can not operate for anywhere near as long.
