Durham Lights Verified Purchase
We had already bought small lights and them decided to purchase taller ones which we are now very pleased with. From ordering, receiving and now installing was very easy and simple. Had a few problems which were resolved very quickly and professionally

Worked well initially, but there is a major design flaw with the toppers that allows rainwater to gather on the top, over time this milks the plastic over the solar panel rendering them useless. A small angle engineered into the top would allow for rain runoff. I've had these lights for around 4 years now, two sets of tops and now the main light plastic casing has cracked, time to look for a more durable replacement.

Reply from SolarCentre:

Thank you for the feedback, over the last 4 years our tops have had two major upgrades and are as you describe with rounded top and also a powersaving mode for winter months or poor panel location.  The new tops can be seen here

Works very well when put on the lower brightness setting lasts most of the night, the instructions could with being better, the base plate could do with 4 fixings.

Takes some fathoming to work out the fittings for the base if you haven't fitted something like this before as there are a couple of options (drill into base or fit into wet concrete) and the instructions in the packs were more about care as opposed to fitting - I ended up searching for them on line. Agree that 3 fixings would make it easier to square, and make them more sturdy, but they look great when in and I am pleased with how they look. The delivery was on time and there was planet of communication regarding dispatch. Recommend.

Our updated XT series comes with Powersaving technology as standard and includes several other important updates to the London, Durham and Canterbury design. Powersaving mode gives you the option to reduce the brightness of the light slightly in return for doubling the runtime each night which is ideal for customers that don't have a great solar panel location in their garden.

The XT series also benefits from a redesigned top piece which houses the solar panel, batteries and SMD bulb. The updated design has eliminated the potential for water ingress and the solar panel output has been increased significantly. A waterproof housing has also been added to the underside of the XT series top which shelters the batteries and circuitry from ambient moisture.

• Meets the Silverlight Standard
• Exclusive Stainless Steel Construction
• Up to 10 hours run time from a full charge
• Automatic on / off at dusk / dawn
• On / Off switch to override this if required
• One x super bright white SMD bulb
• Mono crystalline solar panel
• 2 x 600mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries (included)
• IP44 waterproofing

Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

Would you be able to provide me the lumens brightness that each light produces and the wattage generated for each light. Thanks
By Duncan Devine on Apr 21, 2017

Answer:

The Durham is rated at 12 lumens, I'm afraid I don't understand the 2nd part of your question.

Question:

I have bought a replacement head which came with no instructions. What is the difference between the two different settings?
By Andy S on Mar 30, 2017

Answer:

The P setting stands for Powersaving and will slightly reduce the brightness but double the runtime of the light at night. It's good to select this if the panel isn't in the best location or over the worst period of winter. The S setting is for standard mode and it will run on maximum brightness.
