Frequently Asked Questions - Henley Premium Solar Pillar Lantern

Question:

Hi, Having problem with one of my lovely lights. The lights come on but not going off when light. So batteries are running down very quickly. I'm upset to learn they've now been discontinued. I have a set of 4 and love these lights. Is there any chance you might still have one that I could purchase. Ever hopeful. Many thanks. Cheryl Bourke.

Question:

I want a lamp which will light my large polytunnel so I can continue to work in it on dark winter evenings. Will one or two of these do the job? Also what size solar panel do I need and do you supply? Thank you.
By LINDA SHORT on Oct 7,2015

Answer:

We would not recommend this light for your polytunnel as the solar panel is on top of the unit. The sunlight trying to get to the top would be filtered by the polytunnel. I would suggest inside a spotlight or two with a separate solar panel which can be positioned outside.

Do these fix securely to the top of fence posts? I cannot see any screw holes for fixing.
