Please take a look at our wall lights or spotlights . Some of the security light that have remote controls have options to be switched on and off. Our wall and spotlights stay on until dawn or the power has run out.

Question 13

Woukd this light be suitable outside a front door but undercarriage small roof canopy? If not what would you recommend Kind regards

Accepted Answer

It really depends how much direct sunlight gets to the panel. We wouldn't recommend having this light under a roof and it's likely to block most of the sunlight need to use the light. You could consider a different location for this light or have a look at our lights which have remote panels so you can position the light in a shaded area and have the panel in a sunny location.

No, the Chiltern light is motion only light.

No, our all in one solar security lights do not have sensitivity adjustments. Our SMD do.

Yes, should work just fine. The lights are pretty light too.

Hi, the light is only motion activated.

Question 22

My door faces east and the light would be under the eves. Would any of your solar lights with a motion sensor be suitable?

Accepted Answer

We have seen customers use them in this situation but put the light lower down around the door handle height to get the most amount of light getting to the panel. The other choice would to look at a remote panel motion light.
