I bought the twin security light and need to position the solar panel separately. I'm not sure whether there is part of panel missing for mounting the solar panel, or do I need to unscrew the circular mount to attach it to the wall?
Asked by Deb Shaw on 7 Jan 2023
The whole unit can be attached to the wall however the panel cannot be detached from the light to be positined elsewhere. You would need a light that comes with a remote panel. Such as the Shield, Evo, etc. if you need any assistance in finding the right light for you please give us a call or email us

It is said that the solar panel can be mounted away from the light, are there additional wall fixings for that?
Asked by Richard James Hodder on 14 Oct 2021
There is a wall mounting bracket provided.
I understand the solar panel can be mounted separately up to two metres away from the lamp. This is ideal as the lamp is to illuminate an alleyway that sees very little sun due to it facing north-south between high walls and I want to mount the panel out of the alleyway, around the corner of the wall, to catch the sun. Are there additional wall fittings supplied to mount the panel in another location?
Asked by Richard James Hodder on 9 Oct 2021
The bracket for the panel would be supplied. The panel should be South facing.
is the solar panel adjustable? Does the light only come on when movement is detected when dark? Thanks
Asked by Kristian Micheals on 21 Sep 2021
There is an option to have the panel integrated or away from the light. It will come on when there is motion, however, there is an option to have a dimmer light all the time and then brighter when motion is detected.

No the light doesn't move as the lights cover a large area.
Hi. Re; the 180 degree adjustment, does that mean I can have the solar panel at the top facing the opposite way to the light beam/behind the fixing for the light? I need to fix to a north facing wall so rotating the panel 180' above the light/fixing to face south would help. thanks
