Question 8

I have a twin spotlight with the solar panel which has integral rechargeable battery. How do I charge the battery from a wall socket? How can I remove the battery to do so?

I do not recommend charging this in a wall charger please as the battery cannot be removed. Please allow this to just charge for 3-5 days in as much direct sunlight as possible. Then please place this on the powersaving mode.

Question 9

Good morning do each of the twin spotlight have a battery in them as one off the spot lights stop working just wondered do l need to replace a battery if so where are they situated. Thank you

The battery for the unit is situated in the panel, not in the individual heads.

It states the splitter to light is 4.5 mtr so doers each light attach direct to the splitter? So U could have the splitter & the solar panel in the middle of the 8 mtr?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Yes. Both of the lights come with a 4.5m cable, which would make it a total of 9m if you were to place them on opposing ends of the fence.

Question 11

Good Evening Do the atlas pack of 2 lights require the battery to be changed or are they self contained for the life of the unit regards Martyn

Accepted Answer

Good afternoon, The batteries in them last 2-3 years minimum.

Question 12

can you get difference colours? i want to make my house light up. in a green colour

Accepted Answer

Hi Michael. These lights do not come in more colours, they emit a warm white colour. We do have the Chiron , which is a spotlight with a green option.

Question 13

Hi. I am considering a 'self contained' uplighting application where both the panel and lights would be fixed to the lower branches of a tree. To present a neat and tidy finish I would be looking to shorten the two supplied cables using a pair of third party in line waterproof splices. Would you envisage any issues with this approach and, if not, could you confirm the cable specification ? Many thanks, David.

Accepted Answer

We do not advise modifying the kit, this will invalidate the warranty.

Question 14

Would they be suitable for the cemetery to shine the light on the headstone

Accepted Answer

It will be suitable.

Question 15

I want to be able to light the outside of a 50ft houseboat moored in the river. It's off grid and only accessible by boat so I need something that will help me find my way back in the dark and dock the boat alongside. Would these lights get me home or could you recommend something more suitable. I obviously dont want it to be lit up like a fair ground but something to help me locate and dock on the longer nights is a clear need

Accepted Answer

These lights would be suitable. You can also look at the Albany spotlight which is even more bright.

Question 16

Can these be joined electrically to form a line of 4 or 6 to light up the front of a house garden (i.e. by buying 2 or three sets)? Many thanks Katrina

Question 17

Accepted Answer

Question 18

Love both the quality and look of this light purchased a set of 2, and very happy with how they look but need a single to finish the look. Is a single spot of similar size and intensity available.

Accepted Answer

I can put panel outside but I want the lights in the roof area f a garden Room. Can you please tell me where the light sensor is.... I am going you are going to say on the solar panel! Have loads of your lights!

Question 29

Accepted Answer

Question 30

What is the expected life of these lights

Accepted Answer

You can purchase separately an extention cable, which will be 5m long.

It is IP55.

Question 36

I can see there is a 4m cable from panel to light but is this to each light. If not what is the max distance the 2 lights can be set apart?

Accepted Answer

Wire from splitter to each light head is 4.5m

Question 37

We frequently have foxes in the garden. Would you recommend that we bury the cables in the earth so they are not chewed? Thanks

Accepted Answer

We would not recommend burying them in the soil as when strimming or gardening you may go through them as it is possible to forget they were there. However if you wish to protect the wires maybe try to source some sort of plastic covering perhaps to place on top.

Question 38

Hello I'm interested in the Atlas lights but I need 6 m between the lights. I see there is an extension lead for sale here, is that compatible with these lights? Thank you David

Accepted Answer

The extension cable you need is here

Question 39

Can you buy these lights individually?

Accepted Answer

No the lights come in a set of either two or four lights.

Question 40

What technology are the batteries Li Ion or NiMH etc. Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi, they are Li Ion

Question 41

Would one of these be suitable for uplighting an olive tree? Or would another model be better? I am looking for a warm light not cool. Thank you

Accepted Answer

These would be nice for an olive tree and they are warm white.

Question 42

Would you recommend these or the Selene spots to light up trees in garden

Accepted Answer

Either, output of the Selenes is 90 Lumens vs 100 so the Atlas is brighter, both have a remote panel so it's more about the style of the light. The Atlas is a much small modern looking light compared with a larger and more classical looking light head of the Selenes.

Question 43

I am considering these for some pots on the balcony of my apartment. However, the area only gets sun from around 3pm in the afternoon, would this be sufficient to give good light and if not can the battery panel be charged whilst not connected to the lights to get a longer charge?

Accepted Answer

We would always recommend the panel being in as much direct sunlight as possible If the balcony is north facing then the panel will not be getting the light. You can always have them on the lowest powersaving setting.

Question 44

Can I just confirm that the extension from the splitter to each light is 4.5 meters long

Accepted Answer

yes, that's correct

Question 45

Do you do whiter bulbs as the current ones are too yellow, many thanks

Accepted Answer

Sorry,, these only come in warm white at the moment. Maybe look at the Globes.

Question 46

We usually suggest they are left charging for 3-5 days switched off.

Accepted Answer

No, this is not possible.

Question 48

Are atlas spotlights the same warm white as the discontinued vega?

Accepted Answer

The Atlas are a warm white. As they are a different manufacturer we cannot guarentee they will match the exact colour of the Vega.

Question 49

Would this be suitable in a tropical climate?

Accepted Answer

This would be fine in that climate, we sell these to most countries without issue.

Question 50

Have you lights that come on for a set time after dusk The lights in winter could be on from 4pm-8am will they be as efficient I.e. Battery life andlight output

Accepted Answer

Most of our spotlights are dusk 'till dawn, so sadly do not have a timer function that can be adjusted. We usually say up to 5 hours in Winter and up to 10 hours in Summer. The only item with a timer is our Lumify range, this has a 7 hour timer and they are spotlights. Atlas come with a powersaving mode, so this should help them last longer over the Winter period.

Question 51

Can you confirm if the battery is replaceable in the Solar Panel?

Accepted Answer

The battry cannot not be replaced, but the Atlas is fitted with long life rechargable batteries, these should last up to 4 years.

Question 52

2 questions can you have these connected to a PIR so they only come on when people are close? Also can you have a remote control to turn them on/off from inside? Thanks robin

How long is the cable from lights to solar panel? I want to "uplight" a tree but need the solar panel at least 4m away from the tree to get enough sunshine

Accepted Answer

4.5m of cable between each light and the solar panel.

Question 57
