Frequently Asked Questions - ECO Wedge XT Solar Motion Welcome Light

Question:

Wanted for outside steps and would have to be on east facing ratings. Live in Scotland. Would they work there whilst recognising may not be optimal. Thank yoi
By Graham smith on Jan 27,2024

Answer:

Hello,

Our lights really need to be in a south facing position so they get as much sun as possible, especially in winter as there isn't as much sun. 

Question:

Hi Please may I ask about the powersaving mode. How many lumens is the powersaving mode? And it says that the runtime is doubled in powersaving mode, does this mean that the the time the light is on for doubles from 15 seconds to 30 seconds each time, or does it mean that the light is available for double the amount of time? Many thanks Janet
By Janet on Jan 7,2024

Answer:

Hello.

The standard mode is: 160 Lumens, The power saving mode is 80 Lumens, The motion sensor will activate the light when motion is detected and turn off approx 15 seconds after motion ceases.

Question:

Hi, I have a north east facing front door. Will the battery be able to charge in these circumstances ie with limited direct sunlight in the winter? Thanks
By Pat on Dec 29,2023

Answer:

Hello,

Our lights need to be installed in a south facing position to get as much sun as possible. 

Question:

I have an older version of this with an on/off switch instead of the hole for the pin. My problem is that I have to keep on switching the light on every night when it gets dark and only after that does it become sensitive to motion. I use this near my back door on a free standing block of wood and when there is little sunlight in Winter I move the block and light to an area in the garden that gets fuller sunlight. Believe it or not, the light is for my cats so so they can see who is outside their cat flap and don't get ambushed when they leave the house at night! I hope you can help. Thanks.
By Andrea Power on Nov 12,2023

Answer:

Hello,

 

it depends on what movement your light could be picking up in the night? It can trigger up ti 250 times in the evening, if it is at a low level there could be some interference? 

 

The new version does have the on/off switch, so if it is a the newer version, please can I ask whether you can try leaving the light off for 3-5 days and make sure it is being run in powersaving mode for the Winter. If you are still having an issue, the best thing to do is take a photo of the location and send it through to [email protected] and our friendly customer service team will be happy to help. 

Question:

Hi I've got a few of these and very happy with them, one of them has died. Can I get a new battery for it?.
By Chris on Oct 26,2023

Answer:

Hi Chris, the battery on this light in not replaceable. Have you tried switching the light off completely leaving it in a sunny position for 3 to 5 days and turing it back on it may just need a booster charge.

Question:

Hi! Q1. Will this light come on at night if there are street light in its vicinity? Q2. When you advise that the 3 metres detection range cannot be adjusted, does it mean that even partially obscuring the PIR sensor won't reduce the range? Thanks.
By Domi on Apr 12,2021

Question:

Are you able to turn off the motion so that the light just comes on and stays on?
By Laurie Houkes on Mar 6,2020

The motion cannot be switched off I am afraid, it is soley PIR based light. We do have our Wedge Elite, Wedge Plus which you can have this on for an hour or on a low light throughout the night and then brighter when someone approaches. 

 

Question:

I want to paint the casing (not the solar panel) red to match the colour of my front door. Do you think the casing would accept paint?
By Steve Prince on Feb 26,2020

We would not recommend painting the outside of the light as some paint might penetrate the light in any holes and could stop the internals working. Any modifications to the unit will not be covered by the warranty. 

 

Question:

The text says the PIR range is 3m whereas the video says 5-8m, so which is correct?
By Steve Prince on Feb 25,2020

Answer:

3m is the correct range. The video is for the old version of the light. This is the XT version.

Question:

I want to illuminate my shared driveway and put the unit on the side of my house, maybe 2, will the PIR detect movement from a side angle? Also, there can be several people up and down the driveway visiting an elderly neighbor, would this potentially drain the power to failure? Thanks Paul
By Paul Mather on Jan 5,2020

Answer:

The PIR sensor has a 120 degree angle. I would just check the wall yo uare planning to put this onto, if it is a north facing or heavily shaded I would look at one with a remote solar panel. The light has 250 triggers, so it should be fine with visitors. 

 

 

 

Question:

How do you detach the solar panel? I need to be able to use the extension wire to site the solar panel in an appropriate position.
By Norman on Dec 27,2019

Question:

Excellent lights would recommend. Have two above back doors and one above garage. Just wondering if there is anyway can alter the sensor? Currently one above garage activates when anyone walks passed or a car passes (approx. 10 meters away from sensor) which is great but Id rather only activated when someone walks up driveway towards house etc. Cheers :)
By Andrew on Nov 30,2018

Answer:

Unfortunately, you can't change the range on the Eco Wedge other than change the position the light is installed.  

Question:

The path I need to light up gets little direct sunlight. Will shaded daylight be enough to charge the batteries? It will not get a lot of use, just occasional use.
By Robin Sumsion on Nov 23,2018

Answer:

If you start off with a full battery and use the powersaving mode then it should keep going just fine with occasional use.

Question:

Couple of questions before ordering. 1. In the photos of the eco wedge xt it has an on switch on the left which is a manual type but the other photos and video show the on switch on the right but operated by a small pin. Which one is the eco wedge xt? 2. The photos of the led lights are different in that one shows only 4 leds and the other shows 25 led. How many leds does the eco wedge xt have?
By Chris on Nov 22,2018

Question:

I need a light for the external stairs leading to my property, can you let me know who well the light works in the winter due to less daylight? does the battery need a specific amount of time to charge and does this carry over if the light isnt used?
By emma on Feb 16,2018

Answer:

The Eco Wedge works perfectly in winter. The battery will charge whilst its daylight and only use up power when triggered by motion. No motion for 2 days then it would only be charging the battery.

Question:

Hi I want to put this light at the bottom of some steps, will the motion sensor pick movement up from above it? Thanks
By Gemma on Oct 20,2017

Answer:

The PIR motion sensor will only pick up motion in front of the senor, you could consider placing them to side of steps. 

Question:

Hi - Wanted to use the ECO wedge inside a porch : will the solar panel still charge if it is inside the porch or does it need to be outside? Thanks
By Brigitte yip on Apr 8,2017

Answer:

If it's a south facing porch that gets good light the Eco Wedge will still do a good job in this location.

Question:

Can i install on a east or west facing fence
By Mark scitt on Dec 3,2016

Answer:

Hi Mark, many customers use the Eco wedge on east or west facing walls, you just need as much light as you can get. Direct sun light and facing south with no obstructions is best but as the Eco wedge on triggers on movement its will all depend on how often it's likely it is to trigger.

Question:

Some of my lights have stopped working but not sure whyCan there be a loose connection or should something be replaced?whats the life span of these lights?
By Reece on Sep 23,2016

Answer:

We would expect the ECO Wedge to remain operational for 3 years..

When lights stop working it is always worth looking at the installation location and movement of shadows around the light as an area that may have been sunny in summer may be shaded in winter.

If your lights are less than 2 years old and in a good southernly facing position and are still not working please contact [email protected] and they will be able to do further trouble shooting with you.

 

 

Question:

Our front door is in a 320mm deep U shaped recess and facing North, which is not ideal, although we do live in Southern Spain and get plenty of sunshine. From your experience would it best to fit it on one of the side walls adjacent to the door, but within the recess, or on the front face of the house, above the recess.
By DUNCAN DAVIES on Jan 6,2016

Answer:

We do not recommend installing this on a north facing wall. The solar panel requires direct sunlight and not just access to the open sky. Sorry.

Question:

Is it possible to override the PIR and to have he lights on permanently? If not do you have such a light?
By Vaughan on Jun 8,2015

Answer:

It is not possible to override the PIR so it is on permanently. I would recommend the Kensington Solar Wall Light instead.

Question:

Can I adjust the time that this Welcome Light stays on after it has detected motion? It seems to go off after a few seconds.
By AL SIRISENA on Jun 7,2015

I have just fitted my 2 new Eco wedges - it mentions removing the protective film from the solar panel but there does not seem to be an obvious film. I don't want to risk damaging it, am I missing something please?
By Janet Flynn on Jan 2,2015

Answer:

It may be that your units do not have the protective film. I know this was missed on one batch. It should be pretty obvious if there is a film on it so if you cannot see anything please assume it was missed in manufacture.

Question:

How long does the light stay on after detecting movement? Ideally less than one minute, otherwise a few winter cloudy days will deplete the battery charge.
By Steve Thompson on Dec 27,2014

By Amanda Aldridge on Nov 18,2014

Answer:

The light should eventually turn off so long as the solar panel is receiving daylight.

Question:

Hello the instructions say that you should remove the protective film from the solar panel. I have tried but it's not obvious where the film edges are. Without taking a knife to it I can't lift anything . I don't want to damage it so can you please confirm that there actually is a protective film and and the best way to remove it. Thank you
By geoffrey lloyd on Nov 14,2014

Answer:

The protective film should be very obvious. If you cannot see it then it sounds like it does not have one on your unit.

Question:

Do you sell the eco wedge solar motion with dusk/dawn photo cell?
By matt maxwell on Oct 26,2014

Answer:

The Eco Wedge Solar Motion Light has a sensor in the solar panel that will tell the light when to start working when it gets dark.

Question:

Hi, I have 3 questions if you don't mind. 1. What is the overall height of the back plate? 2. Will the solar panel still work if I mount the light inverted at around 45 degrees (on the chamfered edge of a sandstone plinth above a door?). This would roughly put the LEDs facing down with the solar panel vertical (hope that made sense). 3. How long does the light stay on after being activated and can this be adjusted? Thanks.
By David Hayhurst on Oct 15,2014

Answer:

1, Overall height is 113mm. 2, The solar panel must be facing the sky and receiving direct sunlight. 3, 10 seconds which cannot be adjusted.

Question:

Hi there, I'm asking the same sort of question as P Bateman, as I have just purchased 2 of these from you through Amazon.When I turn them on; they come on dim and brighten up fully when motion is detected but then they stay on dim indefinitely until motion is detected again, they do not turn off completely, are they faulty as don't really want them on permanently rather just when they are activated.
By Alistair Burrows on Oct 7,2014

Answer:

We changed the Wedge to remove the dim mode by popular demand. Some of the earlier batches are still being sold by trade partners of ours.

Question:

What is the expected battery life? And are the batteries replaceable?
By Chris Killick on Oct 7,2014

3 - 5 years. The batteries are not replaceable.

Question:

Can you tell me the spread of light from these units as I intend to use them on a driveway that has no street lighting on it
By R Blair on Oct 4,2014

Roughly a 5 foot spread. It is good for a entrance way and very bright but it has not been designed to cover lots of meters.

Question:

Hello I was thinking of buying this product could you please tell me what is the watts coming out from this light. and can you get bulbs for this once they have blown
By M.Habeeb Naseer on Oct 1,2014

Answer:

LED bulbs typically do not blow. They will dim after a long time. You cannot replace the LEDs but they should last a very long time. It is roughly a 50w equivalent.

Question:

1)In the FAQs there is reference to a modified design which would be fully operated by the PIR. Is that design available yet? 2) If the PIR is continuously triggered does the lamp stay on? 3) How long after PIR off is the light sustained?
By John Holdgate on Sep 24,2014

Answer:

1) This is now available. The light no longer has a dim function. 2) The lamp will stay on while detecting movement and will stay on for a further 10 seconds after movement has stopped. 3) 10 seconds.

Question:

sorry but seems to be some confusion - does the " ECO Wedge Solar Motion Welcome Light " now turn off completely to save power or does it come on dim then get brighter when sensing motion?
By p bateman on Sep 24,2014

Answer:

The Eco Wedge Solar Motion Welcome Light will only turn on if the PIR detects movement. The light will stay on for 10 seconds and then will completely turn off to save power until it detects movement again.

Question:

Have you managed to configure this light so that it is only activated by the PIR yet? If not, can you confirm that the Curve Solar motion light now only comes n when activated by the PIR? Many thanks
By Andrew Smith on Sep 23,2014

Answer:

Both the Eco Wedge Welcome Light and Curve Solar Motion Light are now only activated by PIR detection. They no longer have the dim function.

Question:

Hi, I just bought one of these and it wasn't clear from the website that the light comes on in dimmed mode when it gets dark and gets bright when it detects movement. I had expected it to be off unless movement is detected, based on the answer to another FAQ. Can you confirm this is the correct operation and my light is not faulty? If it is correct it's no problem for me but I'd like to be sure it's working properly so I know the battery won't drain quicker than it's meant to. Thanks.
By Alex on Jun 5,2014

Answer:

This operation is correct at the moment. It is not a faulty light. We are looking in to having it just as a PIR activated light at the moment.

Question:

Hi, I'm thinking of using these to light up a drive when reversing in. Will they pick up the movement of a slow moving car? I'm sure they do but wanted to double check. Oh and what sort of area do they light ?
By Mark on May 19,2014

Answer:

PIR (passive infra-red) detectors rely on heat being detected so may not work on the movement of a car. This light is the equivalent of a 50 watt bulb and would be roughly 5m at an average height.

Question:

Q1 does this fitting have an over ride switch so that it can be used as a light for a fixed period of time? Q2 what are it's dimensions? thank you
