Will these work in whole of UK? Will they get enough sunlight in winter in north of Scotland at 59 degrees north? It's not clear if they can be set to come on at dusk but go off at a set hour. Dusk mid winter here is 3.30pm so would need them to come on then but be set to go off at 10pm or so.

Accepted Answer

Our lights need to be in a south-facing position to work to their full capacity, We don't, unfortunately, advise positioning them in a north-facing position as they won't last long very long Im afraid. They are set to come on when it gets dark and then turn off when it gets light and daytime.

Hi Tana. The solar panel for this light is located on the top, this is the section that will need direct sunlight to charge the batteries. If you wish to light a shaded area, I would suggest looking at lights that have a remote solar panel.
