If I extend the cable from the solar panel to the lights by about 15-20 metres will this affect the performance of the lights..

How easy is it to remove these 18650 batteries to give them a booster charge in a battery charger when there is an abscence of sun? Are these lithium batteries?
By Philip Gormley on Aug 31, 2018

The batteries are in the solar panel which has a number of screws keeping it sealed. Once you have unscrewed the panel it will give access to the batteries. Generally just switching the light off for 1-3days will boost the charge.

Question:

What are the dimensions of these and the panel. Dies the panel come separate or is there a panel on the light
By Steve on Aug 22, 2017

Answer:

Light head:
8.5cm diameter
10.2cm deep 

Light and base size:
16.5cm high (including base) 
34.8cm high in total when the spike is attached to the base although only the light head and base would be above ground.

The solar panel:
23cm wide by 19cm high. 

The solar panel is 14cm long with wall mount base attached so would protrude out from a wall 14cm once installed. With the spike attached the solar panel is 34cm high in total although only 16cm of this 34cm would be above ground.

Question:

Hi there. I want to up light into a weeping willow and was going to use 2 x Thea spots but I then noticed these. can you advise which would be best to illuminate the tree (BTW the tree is at least 30ft high).
By chris on Jul 11, 2017

Answer:

Firstly you need a remote panel as under a tree the panel is unlikely to get enough light to charge. Putting the light further away from a tree could solve the sun to panel issue but will reduce the illumination,   For something as large as a 30ft tree you might want to consider our flood light. It depends on how much you'd like to illuminate.
