FAQs: Kodiak Mini Solar Wall Light

Asked by A Kapma on 8 Jul 2023

The Kodiak is not motion activated and does work off a dusk til dawn sensor.

Asked by L.Hodgson on 11 Apr 2023

Hi, Yes there is. If you remove the top piece by gently pulling it off the white diffuser, there is a three way switch on the underside of the top piece. O is for off, P is for powersaving mode, and S is for standard mode.

Asked by Melanie on 16 Mar 2021

Yes, it does have an on/off switch button.

Asked by Pam on 26 Nov 2020

There may be a light source eg. street light that could be confusing the panel into thinking it's daylight .

16 Lumens

Asked by Martin on 3 Jun 2020

All of our lights come with a 12-months warranty.

Asked by Eddie on 16 Dec 2019

These will run for you up to 6 hours depending on the power setting and location of the light/panel. We recommend the 'p' setting in the winter.

Asked by David on 22 Oct 2019

The on and off switch on the Kodiak is based underneath the top, so this will need to be removed and then they can be turned off that way. We have our two wedges, the Plus and Elite which come with a remote for turning on and off without the need for removing tops etc. We also have our brighter Floodlight which comes with a remote as well.

Asked by Alex on 8 Aug 2019

Yes, many customers use them on wooden fence posts. Please see our instructions here

Asked by Paul on 12 Jul 2019

Yes, you can buy replacement tops here

Asked by Jane on 30 Apr 2019

The switch is under the lead head/solar panel.

Asked by Paul Smith on 21 Apr 2019

The lights charge in the day and are off, once it gets dark the lights stop charging and switch on.

Asked by Richard on 19 Nov 2018

In summer months it would have a good chance but in the winter is very unlikely to get enough light to be able to charge. Until you try it you wouldn't know but we would not recommend it in the location you describe.

Asked by Andy on 17 Oct 2018

Not plans but have mentioned it. All of our security lights can be fixed to a wall.

Asked by Laura on 19 Jun 2018

I assume you're suggesting within an enclosed porch? Almost all windows block light and have a UV coating which will drop the performance of the solar panel. We don't recommend using any of our lights indoors unless it comes with a remote panel.

Asked by Miranda on 18 Feb 2018

We are not aware of the light flashing at the point of low charge. The double panels and power saving mode make these lights work well even on dull days. If you do have long periods of poor low light weather then we'd recommend giving them a boast for a few days.

Asked by Louise on 10 Sep 2017

If the fence panel is thick and strong enough you should be able to attach them. Each lights is 0.5kg. Of course a fence post ideal due to it's strength and thickness. I would suggest attaching where the post is(other side of the fence panel)

Asked by Lisa on 8 Sep 2017

Frosted plastic.

Asked by Lindsey on 22 Aug 2017

The switch for the light is under the Solar panel and can be completely switch off. The light will still charge in the off position

Asked by Tim Hiscock on 1 May 2017

Hi Tim, Yes shouldn't be a problem mounting them to a fence post.

Asked by Norman on 17 Apr 2017

16 Lumens.

Height: 194mm Width: 79mm Depth: 123mm(including wall mount) Wall Bracket: 51mm height

Asked by John on 10 Feb 2017

A west facing wall should be fine, we'd recommend you rotate the "top" containing the solar panel when you install it to have as much of it south facing as possible to maximise runtime.

Asked by Jeanette on 1 Feb 2017

Yes, they have a switch on the underside of the top so you can easily turn them off.

Asked by Ann carr on 1 Feb 2017

We've added an image to the gallery now showing the full dimensions.

Asked by Alex on 28 Jan 2017

They'll work fine for 9 or so months of the year in that position however they'll struggle in during the 3 dark months.

Asked by Gerry on 13 Jan 2017

The top slides on securely but could be removed by a determined thief. We've been selling these for over a year now without any reported issues of this along with many other lights for years with push on tops with no problems so I'd hope you'll be fine.

Asked by Kris on 28 Nov 2016

The Wall mounting is aproximately 4.9cm x 4.9cm

Asked by Gareth on 15 Nov 2016

It has 2 x 900mAh NiMh batteries. You can't change these over to Li-ion batteries and this wouldn't increase the runtime.

Asked by Clara on 25 Oct 2016

0.5kg

Asked by Roger on 27 Sep 2016

Yes the switch for the light can be found on the underside of the top as well as being able to switch them off you can reduce the brightness slightly to extend runtime.

Asked by Adrian Ashelford on 25 Sep 2016

Thank you for bringing that to our attention the dimension are 194mm tall 79mm square and will sits 44mm from the wall. There are multibuy discounts on this product at the moment if you were to buy 10 you would save £20 so £2 per unit.

Asked by Patrick on 13 Sep 2016

Yes, light cloud will reduce the charging efficiency by 30 - 50%, heavy thick cloud by up to 70% but the solar panels will still be harvesting light throughout the day.

Asked by Neil Gavin on 28 Jul 2016

As with almost all products these days, the Kodiaks are made in China, however you'll feel the quality of the product immediately when you take it out the box. If you're unhappy with anything you've got 30 days to send it back as well. Hope that helps.

Asked by bob on 5 Jul 2016

It comes with 2 x NiMH standard rechargeable batteries that are easily replaceable. The LED is rated to 50,000 hrs so will not need replacing.
