Dear Sir / Madam What are the dimensions of the solar panel please?
Asked by Les on 2 Dec 2025
Hello, Solar panel: 13cm x 13cm
What are the dimensions of the solar panel for this Beam Solar Shed light?
Asked by Les on 29 Nov 2025
This panel is 13cm x 13cm
How long is the cable from panel to light please ?
Asked by Scott on 23 Jul 2024
2 Metres of cable between the light and panel.
How do the solar panels fix to the roof of the shed. We have a metal container with flat roof so don't really want to drill holes. Using adhesive pads inside will be fine but not sure they'd stand up to current weather conditions Thank you
Asked by Malcolm on 4 Jan 2024
There are fixing screws with the light, so ideally these would need to be screwed down to secure the panel. As you say we would not recommend adhesive pads or any other adhesive alternative due to the weather conditions it would not remain stable.
I store our agility equipment on a metal shipping container which does not belong to me, so how can I fix the Solar Panel to the roof please. There are small holes in the roof that will allow me to feed the cable through to the actual light, so that's not an issue - thanks Janette
Asked by Janette on 31 Dec 2023
It comes with a fixing screws, however if you cannot use these then I am unsure of how else you could fix it to ensure that it remains stable, as the adhesive will not work outside. Perhaps you could place some cable ties through the small holes and just make sure that it is tightly done up, however we do recommend the light is screwed down.
I hope this would work to light a hexagonal wooden greenhouse. Could the battery be charged through clean greenhouse light, or should I locate the solar panel outside? Thank you.
Asked by Rosamund Miller on 16 Dec 2023
The light would work better if the panel was to be charged outside.
Hello, Is there a way to mount the light to the roof without using screws? I am trying to figure out lighting set-ups for our metal containers/sheds. Thank you!
