Question 1

Are the rechargeable batteries replaceable? I noticed in another brand (Onyx) that you sell, the batteries are replaceable, which makes sense as rechargeable batteries don't last forever and it would be wasteful and expensive to have to replace the whole unit rather than just the batteries once they die.

Accepted Answer

Hello, Yes, the batteries in the paverlight are replaceable. Please see the batteries below: https://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk/products/Solar_Battery_4_Pack_AA_1000mAh-1178-5.html

Question 2

Can these be put into grass? I would like to place them in the grass alongside a path

Accepted Answer

Hi, We would not recommend installing these into grass.

Question 3

The Solar Team, You are selling 2 colour options - white and natural white. Which ones would be classed as cool white or bright white as that's the ones I've purchased before. I do not want warm white. I will be purchasing more but need the correct colour advice before I place my order. Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi Steven,  Natural white would be warmer, and white would be cooler. Hope this helps.

Question 4

Will these work in a brickwall?

Accepted Answer

If they are in a south-facing position this can work

Question 5

Do these require direct sunlight to charge ? The sun never shines where I want to put them

Accepted Answer

These will charge without direct sunlight but will limit runtime.

Question 6

How much darkness do they need I have a street light next to my driveway

Accepted Answer

The street light can stop the solar light from working. They are designed to work when it is completely dark.

Question 7

Does this come with a guarantee??? If yes for how long

Accepted Answer

yes, all of our lights come with a 12-months warranty.

Question 8

Would these lights be able be installed in grass around my patio?

Accepted Answer

We would not recommend that.

Question 9

hi we have a printed concrete drive that runs along a lawn, will these still work if we sink them in the lawn at the edge of the concrete drive instead of drilling/digging out the concrete

Accepted Answer

Yes, they will. Just make sure that the lights are turned off for 3-5 days before they are used for the first time, that way they good a good base charge.

Question 10

Hi, Can the lighting units be driven over? We want to illuminate the edges of a parking area. Regards,

Accepted Answer

Yes, these can withstand the weight of a car.

Question 11

Do they come with batteries?

Accepted Answer

Yes they come with AA batteries already installed.

Question 12

Will these lights work on my drive facing west, it seems a sunny position for part of the day

Accepted Answer

The panel is on top of the light, we would usually recommend that these are as south facing as possible and with as much access to direct light. I would be mindful of how mucb direct sunlight they are getting and to note that there might be a reduced run time in winter.

Question 13

Will these light up even through winter?

Accepted Answer

yes our lights are designed to work throughout the UK winter

Question 14

Are these only suitable for floor locations? I've two in my drive that are great and am wondering whether they can be set into walls or under steps etc

Accepted Answer

These will not be suitable for under steps as the solar panel is on top of the light, so the panel would be be too shaded and not receive enough sun.

Question 15

Do these work well in winter?

Accepted Answer

These will have a slightly reduced run time in winter, but will still work. I would imagine 4-6 hours depending on how much direct sunlight they have received.

Question 16

Can I put them in gravel path, possibly fixed to a flat piece of wood under the gravel

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can be fitted into gravel if you like.

Question 17

Are these the same size as a normal brick and if so could you use them in a brick wall on the side of a drive ? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes they are the standard size of a brick. The solar panel is ontop of the product, so we do not recommend fitting them into a brick wall as the panel may not receive the best direct sunlight if not fitted as instructed.

Question 18

I bought my Paver Lights in 2017, 7 of them are now not working, is it fair to say that l need to replace the Batteries.

Accepted Answer

Yes, after 2-3 years we would recommend changing them.

Question 19

Three quick questions. 1) What type of batteries are housed within this brick light? Ie AAAs, AAs, Cs, Ds etc. 2) What mAh are they? Ie 1500, 2000, 2700, etc. 3) Also, could I Unscrew the ‘brick' so that I can increase the battery capacities so they charge more and last long? I've done this with other solar products I've got from elsewhere. Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

They are AA 1.2v batteries. The mAh does not matter as much as any can be used, just as long as the voltage is the same. The screws to get to the batteries are on the underside of the light, so best just to allow the UV rays to charge the lights.

Question 20

Hi What colour white are the lamps ?

Accepted Answer

They are a natural white.

Question 21

Can I buy replacement magnets I just bought 18 of these light and have misled the magnets if so were can purchase them

Accepted Answer

Sadly we do not sell the magnets replacements. Please contact us as support@thesolarcentre.co.uk and provide us with your order details and we will do our best to help.

Question 22

I have misplaced the magnets of my solar brick lights can I replace them

Accepted Answer

Sadly we do not sell the magnets replacements. Please contact us as support@thesolarcentre.co.uk and provide us with your order details and we will do our best to help.

Question 23

Hi, have you managed to work them on a sensor yet would be very desirable

Accepted Answer

I can defiantely pass on this feedback, it would be quite difficult as the item is flat and only when you walk over it they will come on.

Question 24

If i didn't fit these flush, would they give out lateral light from the sides? (like your smaller Lincoln Solar Decking Light)

Accepted Answer

No, the amount of light going sideways will be so small you make not even say it. The LED face upwards and not outward. The Lincoln sounds like the type of light you are looking for.

Question 25

Would these work in the side of the peers at the end of my driveway

Accepted Answer

The solar panel for the Paverlights is on the top of the prouct, so I am unsure how you are intending on fitting these, whether you are looking to fit them sideways in the side of the wall or flat on the ground.  Please note we only suggest these should be fitted into block paving as per the instructions, anything outside of this could invalidate the warranty.

Question 26

how long do the batteries last and can these be replaced without the need to lift the brick?

Accepted Answer

Hi Charles, We usually suggest changing batteries around 2 years, however this is not alway necessary. They are AA rechargable batteries. The screw are underneath the light to stop rusting, so these will need be lifted to get to the screws.

Question 27

Hello, I want to replace an existing mains brick light which is positioned in a brick wall in the front garden to illuminate a step. Will this replace a standard wall brick light and how will it perform in terms of charging when mounted on a vertical plane rather than in the floor? Thanks

Accepted Answer

We wouldn't recommend it but it could work if it was south facing with no obstructions and huge amounts of sunlight.

Question 28

I am thinking of using these around the paved area of my patio, by sinking them into the surrounding grass / mud. Would these lights be suitable in such conditions, possible damp / wet most of the time, and will get watered by the garden hose ?

Accepted Answer

The light needs good drainage underneath and cannot be sitting in water. One solution may be adding gravel under each light allowing the water to drain.

Question 29

If laid on the driveway are these lights robust enough to take being driven over by a family car?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they're designed with exactly this purpose in mind.

Question 30

How long do the lights stop on after being fully charged ?

Accepted Answer

Up to 12 hours from a full charge.

Question 31

I've just brought these lights, are the mounted completely flush with the surface of the drive? Or should they be set with the lip proud of the surrounding blocks?

Accepted Answer

We would recommend flush.

Question 32

How do you mount them in brick?

Accepted Answer

You basically replace a brick, these are standard brick size.  Top Section: 197mm x 97mm x 14mmmm Recess Section: 174mm x 41mm

Question 33

Can you advise where I can get replacement batteries. I opened the unit and batteries are 1.2v rather than the conventional 1.5v. Thanks

Accepted Answer

Standard AA batteries are 1.2v so you can replace with any normal  AA rechargeable battery.

Question 34

Can the paver light be placed in a concrete imprint drive or are theses only suitable for block paving?

Accepted Answer

We wouldn't recommend a concrete imprint drive as there wouldn't be any drainage, block paving is best.

Question 35

How can you secure this light in recess to stop it being nicked by passerby during the night

Accepted Answer

We haven't had any reports of these being stolen, some customers have chosen to concrete them in, however using sharp sand around the edges, as you would with a paving brick, has proved to work fine. At a glance they look like mains powered fitings anyway so are unlikely to tempt anyone.

Question 36

What is the warranty? What are the batteries used for? If the lights need to be changed how easy is it to remove ?

Accepted Answer

The lights have a 12 month warranty. The batteries are used to store power collected by the solar panels to provide power to the lights at night time. The lights are easy to swap over if required.

Question 37

Have you blue colour for this model . let me know please

Accepted Answer

The Paverlights are available in white only.

Question 38

Do you do 240 x 160mm size to match popular Plaspave Sorrento paving blocks?

Accepted Answer

We don't I'm afraid, the Paverlights are the only ground based brick light we stock.

Question 39

When I put these in the off position will they still get charged from sunlight? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes these lights will charge in the off position.

Question 40

I have 4 of the single brick lights two are not working ( 2 yrs old ) I have replacement batteries but can not get the back off ?

Accepted Answer

You can access the battery from the top of the unit (pull white part out as battery is underneath) but must be careful during reassemble so rubber seal is in place.

Question 41

Do you have solar powered brick lights the size of a standard house brick

Accepted Answer

These are the same size as a standard fascia brick. We do not recommend using them sideways in walls or posts and only in driveways.

Question 42

Can you advise how bright these lights are. thanks.

Accepted Answer

These give off a nice decorative glow, about the equivalent of a 10w lightbulb.

Question 43

Hi, we have some led brick lights in our garden sleepers that have become water logged and don't work, are we able to replace with these Solar powered brick lights of do they need to be laid horizontally Thankyou

Accepted Answer

These are not recommended for wall installation. The solar panel must face the sky and be installed in the floor.

Question 44

If mounting these in a driveway, are they strong enough to stand being driven over or should I only use them around the edge?

Accepted Answer

These lights can be used in a driveway and be driven over.

Question 45

I have a problem with my Paverlights i.e installed yesterday into a block driveway and them floating on the driveway am following day in a pool of water. There is a lot of space to fill with jointing sand and the pavers are very light do you have any suggestions.

Accepted Answer

A little bit of concrete or cement mix on the corners to fix it should stop this from happening. Another idea is to make sure there is ample drainage below so a puddle cannot form.

Question 46

Just received these. Great service! It says to charge for 3-5 days before use. Do you then leave them outside in the light not turned on before placing them or is there a quicker way to charge them if there is a lack of sun!

Accepted Answer

The best way is to leave them outside in a sunny location but turned off. There isn't a quicker way to charge them. You may need the full 5 days if there is a lack of sunshine!

Question 47

I am thinking of buying these, do they come in any other bulb colour, or are the bulbs able to be changed?

Accepted Answer

They only come in white and you cannot change the bulbs.

Question 48

How secure are they ? Is there any antitheft fittings ?

Accepted Answer

There are no anti-theft fittings. It is intended to be mounted flush with the floor so thieves cannot get their fingers under to lift it out.

Question 49

Can one change the light bulbs into warm white or yellow ones? Super bright white light looks too harsh in the countryside. Do you sell the bulbs separately?

Accepted Answer

You cannot change the LED bulbs. We do not sell the bulbs separately.

Question 50

I have bought 4 of these lamps and installed them in my hose in Spain. First year worked perfectly, after first year none of them works properly. Should I replace batteries? If yes, which kind of battery? Do yo sell them?

Accepted Answer

The batteries can be changed but should not require changing after just one year. They use standard AA rechargeable batteries and you should be able to get these from your local convenience store. If this does not resolve the problem please get back in touch with us at info@thesolarcentre.co.uk.

Question 51

Can you switch them off if you don't want them on for any reason?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a waterproof magnet switch underneath to allow you to turn them off if you want to.

Question 52

Can these be buried into grass as well as brick? I would like to run them along the grass at the edge of the driveway.

Accepted Answer

Yes, these could be buried in grass with no problems at all.

Question 53

How can you prevent theft? Can they be set in cement/concrete?

Accepted Answer

The Paverlights can be set in concrete however the majority of customers put these in with sharp sand surrounding the lights in keeping with the rest of the driveway. From a glance it's not obvious that the lights aren't mains powered so we've only ever had one case of theft.
