FAQ
Q Hallo, we are looking for solar floodlights to replace halogens to light our 20x40 outdoor school. Please can you recommend the best lights for the job?? I have been looking at the Aston flood but its quite pricy & wonder also about Evo 56. The lights need to be weatherproof as we live in wet west Wales!
A The most cost effective way of doing this job is going to be with the Astron Floodlight. It's more expensive then the Evo 56 as it can stay on for longer and therefore needs bigger batteries and a more powerful solar panel to keep it running. The Evo 56 is great as a motion activated light but isn't designed to stay on continuously.

The Astron Solar Floodlight is a high-end 40 LED solar floodlight which gives you up to 12 hours of light each night. Unlike our solar security lights, which only turn on when they detect motion, the Astron is designed to stay on constantly and is operated by remote control.

What is the difference between the Astron64 Solar Security Light and the Astron Solar Floodlight?
There are 4 key differences between the two lights.
1. Function
The Astron64 Solar Security Light 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 Solar Security Light 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 Solar Security Light.
3. Solar panel power
Because the Astron64 Solar Security Light 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 Solar Security Light.
4. Brightness
The Astron64 Solar Security Light has 64 LED bulbs wheras the Astron Solar Floodlight has 45 LED bulbs. The Astron64 Solar Security Light is 30% brighter than the Astron Solar Floodlight, but it can not operate for anywhere near as long.
