Hi Jennie, This should be ok
How do I change the bulb in the light
Asked by Jo on 27 Dec 2022
Unfortunately, these lights have been discontinued. The bulbs in these lights cannot be replaced.
Does the battery need charging before installation? If so, how?
Asked by Liz on 21 Nov 2020
No the batteries come fully charged.
I know you have to charge it up for 3 to 5 days once it's all established and you switched on does it need to be switched off on a daily basis or can it stay on permanently and it goes off on its own thank you very much
Asked by Kenneth bennett on 27 Oct 2020
This should not need to be done daily, after a good base charge. The only time you may need to do it again is when the clocks go back in the winter where it won't hurt to give it that boost.
what material is it made from?
Asked by beryl miners on 16 Oct 2020
toughened plastic
Love the look of this light, but do you make one with PIR

We need a light on our drive but it doesn't get much direct sunlight will solar lights work?
Asked by Alison Ambrose on 16 Sep 2020
If you would like to extend the solasr panel further to a sunnier spot we sell extension cables here
I had read somewhere to charge for 3-5 days before switching on, is this correct?
Asked by Natalie Jones on 5 Sep 2020
We always recommend charging all our lights for 3-5days to insure a good base charge to start with.
Would this light work alright with two 5 metre extension cables used as the south facing elevation of the house is between 5 and 10 metres from where I would like to mount it?
Asked by Paul Garrison on 30 Jun 2020
Yes, it will still work with 2 extension cables. However, each extension cable will reduce the brightness of each light by 10%.
Can you purchase this light with a bigger cable than the 1m one
Asked by Rahul Nehra on 28 May 2020
No, but we do sell extension cables here
How often would you have to change the battery? Thanks
Asked by Juliet McCabe on 19 Mar 2020
You should not have to change the batteries for up to 3 years.
Can I get this with a movement sensor? I'm after an outdoor light in this style that just comes on for 5 minutes when I get back so I can see the door. I don't want a light that's on all the time. Your security lights are all a bit harsh looking. Thanks, Tom
Asked by Tom K on 5 Jan 2020
Sorry, this is a dusk till dawn light only!
Hi, We already have a post with a light like this on top but want to change it to a solar powered version. Could we use this and cut the cable to wire into our existing light?....or do you see the panel and PIR separately? Thanks
Asked by Nick Hawkes on 29 Dec 2019
No, we do not recommend this it will invalidate the warranty.
is it possible to get one of these with a longer cable as the location is north facing and I will need a 5 m cable length to place the solar collector on a south facing wall. Thanks
Asked by jack MIller on 29 Nov 2019
The Esher comes with an extenstion cable of 5m. You can purchase it here
Hi, will this lamp work within the vicinity of a street lamp, about 10 metres away?
Asked by fiona dewhurst on 24 Nov 2019
The Esher lantern will not work if there is any light getting onto the panel in the evening as it will assume it is daytime. I am unsure as to how far the street light reaches where you are palnning on having the light, so it will have to be a judgement for yourself. Perhaps buy one and test in the area.

Hi. Are the batteries stored in the panel or the light unit? Also does switching off the switch prevent the batteries from charging? Thanks.

This may sound daft but is there a wire between the solar panel and the light?

Do you have a similar model ( solar powered) with PIR instead of dusk till dawn
Asked by Nigel Robinson on 26 Oct 2019
We only have a Dusk Til Dawn version and do not currently have a PIR version. I will mention it at our next product meeting though!
Just wondering if motion sensor could be added to that model - it would save the power
Asked by Carla on 12 Oct 2019
A motion sensor cannot be added to the Esher. It would be classed as a modification of the unit and will invalidate the one year warranty.
Can the light be switched on and off manually as well?
Asked by Gordon McPhee on 27 Sep 2019
Hello, Yes it can! There is a slide switch on the back of the panel to turn on/off when you would like.
