Great Product Verified Purchase
Like all solar products this is very useful and effective item for the shed or garage. My only gripe would be that in a dark environment finding the switch in order to switch on the Vortex light is particularly difficult and could do with some sort of reflective tape or light in order to locate it.

Excellent product Verified Purchase
Very happy with the light. Take your time to choose where to put the solar panel, and plan the route for the wiring. The fixing plate is adaptable to different locations. Super product.

Vortex Shed Light Verified Purchase
Initial delivery of the light via DPD arrived as scheduled, but the charging panel was broken. Photo evidence was requested and sent and replacement received via Royal Mail in good condition. After charging, the light works satisfactorily, but has limited illumination and unfortunately won't function if the solar panel is receiving charge. OK therefore at night but not in the day when illumination is sometimes needed to see in the shed.

How does it work?
The high powered solar panel charges the internal rechargeable batteries by day. When you require light press the button on the face of the light unit to turn it on. The first push will turn all 36 LED bulbs on. Pushing again will operate the 24 outer LED bulbs only. A third push will operate the inner 12 LED bulbs only. Another push will turn the light off. Please note the more LED bulbs you have on the faster the batteries will drain.

How do I install it?
Using the supplied flat head screws and rawl plugs attach the U-bracket (C) to where you wish to mount the light. Please ensure that there is enough space to connect the solar panel cable into the side of the light unit. Once the U-bracket is secure, attach the shed fixing bracket (A) into the centre of the light and then slide this into the U-bracket. Finally, connect the cable from the Solar Panel into the socket on the side of the light unit and position the panel where it will receive the most amount of light.

Tech Specs
  • 36 x Super bright white LEDs
  • 12, 24 or 36 LEDs switch option
  • Will light up for up to 7 hours when fully charged

Please note that the Vortex is designed to charge by day and work at night so the unit will not operate if the panel is in daylight unless you unplug the solar panel. This is OK for occasional use, but the unit will struggle to charge if it is regularly used during the day when it is supposed to be charging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
I bought two of the solar shed lights about a year ago, but just before new years eve started to chime my shed was broken into and both of the lights was burnt out by vandals . This is most frustrating as its on my allotment patch so I'm unable to do any work now in the winter period after sunset. Do you sell just the lights rather than the Solar Panels . ? Many thanks Lee Evison Allotment holder .
By Lee Evison on Jan 5,2023
Answer:

I am sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, these lights can only be purchased as a whole unit.

Question:
Would this light be suitable to be used each night. IE as it gets dark, would it turn on to light up my garden room and how long would the battery last if it was fully charged. If this product is not suitable for this operation, which other product would you recommend?
By Richard on Jul 4,2021
Answer:

The light from a full charge should run up to 10 hours, however in winter, you might want to change the brightness level so that the product lasts longer throughout winter. You could probably expect up to 6 hours in wintertime.
