Ordered from Solar Centre speedy delivery. The light is well worth the money brought for a very dark area of front the garden. I did charge it up for 5 days before use and it does what it says on the box. Would recommend and will be using Solar Centre in the future

Can't fault it so far. Lights up the inside of a shed using the sunshine from the outside, just what it's supposed to so. Only used for a couple of weeks so can't comment on reliability.

1 | 0 My favourite Verified Purchase
This is the second one I've owned. The first one I bought elsewhere. It lasted several years, but eventually succumbed to ingress of moisture and accidentally having the wires cut by a marauding set of shears. Spliced the wires in a small terminal block and it carried on working happily. This is incredible value for money, completely reliable, no frills just a PIR light that although not eyeball searingly bright is more than adequate. Recommended...

This light system has lain in "the cupboard" for 9 years. Due to Covid19, "the cupboard" was tidied out, today. Unpacked box, laid the 2 parts out in the yard, in weak sun at 1pm. Had read warning that it may take 3 days to recharge. Popped out at 10pm. Bingo! Triggered light! Amazing!!! Well done The Solar Centre!

3 | 0 OK for the price Verified Purchase
when it works it is great, illuminates my shed most adequately but this is my second as the first has a temperament! Some times it switches on and some times it doesn't and strangely the times it doesn't are just when it is darkest, one is in a hurry, hands are full and its raining. I have dismantled it, tested all circuits, resoldered connections but it has a mind of its own and works when dismantled and it is impossible to mend something that isn't broken. My conclusion is that the switch is intermittent, this item frankly lets down the rest of the unit as it really is not sufficient for the purpose. This is a great pity as the concept and output when it works are great. Slightly more expensive and more robustly made would be worth the expense.

This light works well as a quick fix solution for small areas. Directed towards the ground from a height of around 8ft it gives a focused pool of light; angled for a greater spread the range is fairly limited. It is most effective in providing a bright and well defined light in small areas away from any other ambient light source. Accurately described here as a utility light. An option for shortening the 4.8m cable would be welcome, but for the price the product features offer good value.

0 | 1 A Solar Light that actually works Verified Purchase
I've just bought two more of these lights having had one working successfully for nearly three years. Unlike many other solar lights they actually work and keep on working. Easy to fix and great for areas of the garden with no mains power. The 5 m flex means you can put the solar panel where it will get good sunlight but still have the light in dark places where you need it. I would recommend putting the light where there is some shelter from wind and heavy rain if possible. The solar panel seems very weather resistant - mine is in a very exposed position but has kept working. One niggle is that the ball and socket which allows you to angle the panel towards the sun is hard to keep tightened and mine gets moved by very strong winds (we have a lot of them!). The light is quite bright and perfectly adequate for a doorway or steps, but won't light up your whole garden.

This is a simple elegant little thing with the potential for battery replacement. The one problem is that the fixing of the light to the wall plate is a little loose, but you don't really notice (see also Dante's review). It would be good if somehow the casing of the light lay flush with the wall. But look: it works and it's good value.

Very impressed with this purchase. The light unit is brighter than expected, it lights up the decking area outside the back door, and a good part of the garden too - without flooding the neighbours' gardens with light! The range of the sensor is somewhat impressive, I have the unit mounted just above the back door, and it comes on as soon as you step foot outside. The mounting bracket for the light is reported rather flimsy, but to get round this, make a small mounting plate out of plywood, then screw the mounting bracket to that, then screw the plywood mount to the wall. Would totally recommend this product.

Instructions should be a little more explanatory than simply saying "push the power button to turn the light on". Before fixing in position and connecting the solar panel I pressed the on switch and the light duly came on - just to test. I then switched off, connected the solar panel assuming that the light would NOT come on because it was not dark but it did come on.! I trusted to luck and installed it and switched on. After a few moments the light went off. Thank goodness! I was not really sure that it was working correctly until it was dark when I activated by movement and it came on then went off after the prescribed time lapse. Phew! what a relief. Some extra explanatory notes on these conditions might be helpful to other purchasers. For weather proofing I made a cowling cover out of a large plastic container and installed it under that.

Bought to light up, when needed, some dark areas of the garden and passageways. Perfect because of the separation between solar panel and PIR light, because where the light is needed is not in sunlight. Was impressed with the range of the PIR detection, and the light output. Also like the fact the light is pivoted, so the PIR detects movement from one direction but I can get the light to light up at an angle to that. Will be buying more.

Very pleased with the light. It solves the problem of providing light where it would be costly and time consuming to provide non-solar power. Light is a 'whitish' glow but adequate. PIR stretches far further than I expected, which for me is ideal. The instruction show in the top corner "charge for 3 days before use". I only noticed this by accident and maybe put in the body of the text would be more noticeable. Also socket isn't very tight i.e. Male and female bits that connect solar panel to light. Hopefully its water tight and last the course.
By Peter williams on Mar 11,2017
Reply from SolarCentre:
Thanks for the feedback Peter, we'll take a look at the instructions! It might be worth double checking the plug from the solar panel is pushed firmly into the socket - there's a small ring on the outside of the plug that gives you a good indication of whether isn't correctly seated in position. Any problems, just let us know.

Reasonable delivery time. This was easy to mount but I did crack the plastic bracket by tightening the screw (by hand, not very hard). The part on the light that slots into the bracket does look as though it may break at some point. It operates very well and gives plenty of light along our side passage and makes entering the garage rear door a doddle now. I am tempted to get another one for my shed. I would have given 5 stars if the bracket was more substantial.

Bought this on recommendation from a friend as I needed a courtesy light above our side door. Easy to install (I fixed the panel with one screw at first in case it needed relocating). Decent cable length to enable optimum location of the panel. Some parts on the light mount do appear to be a bit flimsy but fitted without problem. Given the dull and short winter days the light is still working well and gives a reasonable working level of brightness. Not as good as mains but much simpler to install and cost effective to run. Good service from Solar Centre again. Recommended.

Rubber cover on the lamp arm was dissapointingly loose but was assured it was normal. I guess only time will tell if I get any water ingress? When first installed, I thought it might be faulty but thankfully after 3 days it just started working! Could be brighter but otherwise adequate to light a side entrance to our house.

I've had lots of bad experience with solar stuff so I bought this on trust from others reviews. It is good! The unit is 2+ metres up on the trunk of a tree, with the receiver panel facing west as instructed. It is slightly shaded by random thin branches but so far no problems. It is as bright as any mains light! And it detects approach 2m+ from the narrow walkway which it covers - in both directions. My only niggle is the light 'pool' shape which is more circular than the long oval which you expect from the shape of the led cluster. Because the light is so good you get a very bright circle, which is fine, but it's almost wasted in an outdoor area which needs a little more width / spread. But that is only a niggle, a higher mounting would widen the 'pool'. If your need is local brightness, or a long 'throw' of the beam, you wouldn't be disappointed buying this. As others have said, It does look and feel a bit flimsy in the joint area, time will tell, but a good DIY'er could sort if any problems. I'm not disappointed in its quality.

The light works and there is a good length in the cable to the solar panel. I mountings could be improved . Maybe include a Velcro strip on mountings so you don't have to screw into walls or window frames etc. I mounted mine on a piece of plywood and stuck the plywood to the window frame with Velcro as i didn't want to screw into the window frame.

Unit now installed and working correctly. I had to adapt it a bit - the panel needed to go on the sunny side of the house so I had to extend the lead DIY style to 14m. Only spotted the extension cable kit after I'd done that... The ball and socket joint looked and felt too flimsy for the winter storms in Scotland and the exposed position that it's in so I made a new bracket. No evidence the ball and socket wouldn't have held. The unit now works perfectly.

I've had one of these in use for a couple of years now with no problems. However, a few days ago it suddenly stopped working. I've looked at the single pin plug connector and found it quite corroded. I've cleaned it up today and will see what happens tonight. It doesn't seem to be very weatherproof at this connection. Has anyone else had this problem? The other thing is that the rubber boot covering the ball joint is rotting (split on the straight bit). Apart from these problems I was very pleased with it.

I already have four of these and I've just bought another load. The light is very sensitive to anything passing in front and when it comes on it is very bright. The cable between the solar panel and the light itself is long so you can hide it out of sight it you wish. The solar panel is also mounted on a good rotating ball so you can angle it really easily in any direction. My first set of these have lasted three years so far with no maintenance whatsoever and they are still going strong.

Excellent service from the company. Chose this product after reading the mainly good reviews. For the two nights this worked it did what we needed it to do but I would suggest that this light is better suited to indoors, ie garage or shed, as one day exposed to some rain seems to have affected the sensor as it now works only when almost standing in front of it. I brought it indoors to dry off but it doesn't catch movement until about a metre in front.. It can,t be because of lack of light as all my other Solars are lit. Shame, as otherwise it is a nice looking product.

I've purchased 4 of these with mixed results. One quickly filled with water and only works when left switched off for a few days for the batteries to recharge. Once switched back on it stays on until the battery is flat. A 2nd light partially filled with water after a few months of normal use. It then went the same way as described above. The 3rd light is still working perfectly after about a year's use, so fingers crossed. The 4th light has not yet been fitted. As far as design is concerned, the clip that holds the light to the wall is very flimsy, so care is needed when removing and refitting, especially in cold weather. The solar panel quickly works loose on its ball & socket, so needs to be glued in place, as it is not possible to screw it up tight enough. As the batteries get older, they become less efficient, so the unit needs to be switched off for a few days to recharge. Perhaps it would be easier if a larger solar panel could be fitted or if additional sockets provided for small panels to be connected in multiple to boost charging during winter or when the panel has to be placed in less than perfect locations. When the lights do work, they are bright enough to illuminate garden paths, doors, gates etc but not so bright as to annoy the neighbours.

I bought this light to go inside my garden shed.

A neat little unit and good value. Easy to fit, only concern is over the stability of the mounting for the light unit - I wonder if it will move slightly in the wind and the pir will detect this as 'movement' of the surroundings and activate the light reducing battery charge.

bought two of these and they are relatively easy to install. like several of the reviews here I did find the ball sockets a little on the loose side. both lights installed to light the rear entrance and ideal for this. definite recommend putting some sort of shelter over them as stated in the instructions to help with water ingress.

The solar panel and the light were easy to fit and both are working well - we do have the best position with South-facing position for the panel. The instructions and diagrams could be fuller and clearer - I wondered why two brackets for the light had been included and then worked out that you had to instal the two together to stop the light fouling the wall on which it was mounted. Also no labelling of the on/off switch on the diagram!

Bought one during the darkest days of winter to see how well the battery coped. Main attraction was the ability to locate the panel in a good sunlight position while the light can be in the shade. Was impressed enough to order two more. They work best in locations with some shelter and one of the ball sockets was loose on one of them, but easily remedied by judicious wedging to fix in place.. Installed the lights just below waist height which limits PIR range somewhat but still does the job and a lot easier than geting power to that location.

I agree that the ball sockets could be firmer, but on the plus side easy to install & light worked o.k. first time, after only a few hours exposure to sunlight. I have just purchased an EVO SMD, which I intend to use in place of the EVO 15, which I consider would be ideal for the shed, which has no mains electricity. Summing up: good value for a utility light.

This is the second one of these I have purchased. I had the first one for 3 years but it became damaged in the storms last year due to my negligence. Even though the light was not being charged, ( the panel became detached during storms as it was not secured properly. My fault.) It was still working 4 months later and it is used several times a night. I have not had a problem with either of my units and I would recommend them to everyone.

This light is now working well for me but I had two problems during installation: 1. The ball/socket fixture was too loose to retain the position of the light in windy conditions. I fixed this by removing the two screws and surrounding the ball with black insulation tape. 2. The clip fitting also permitted movement in the wind. When trying to remove, the clip broke off and I had to fabricate a plastic bracket to re-mount the light. So the light itself seems to be working well but the mechanical design needs some improvement

A light for the front steps of our house as the street lights are useless. I was reluctant to wire in a light as there was no close source so I gave this a go and I'm glad I did. The solar panel is hidden on the southern face of our small front garden and I hid the light shining on the steps on a post in the bushes. I masked a portion of the PIR with electrical tape so the light doesn't come on when someone passes by on the pavement but only when you reach the steps or open the front door as that's all we need it for. A good bright light to see your footing and keys and no problems despite winter daylight Only negative is the solar panel ball joint is a little loose at certain angles but not beyond bodging.

Recently my mains electric blew for my main chicken coops so I have just bought another one, I know I will not be disappointed.

0 | 0 Good but flimsy Verified Purchase
A pretty good light for the price, but the lug fixing on the unit is a bit flimsy and broke when I stretched the wire too tight (partly my own fault). I managed to adapt it to fix on my fence. The light is amazingly bright for such a small unit and, if it lasts, then I will be delighted, because I have had so much trouble with mains power units in the past. As the Evo15 is in a very unprotected area I smear grease around the joints of the unit to help keep the water out. Seems to work. So far so good.

I bought two to light my garden summerhouse and have only charged them so far to decide where to position the lights inside the shed. They seem to work well, although the swivel ball joints on the solar panels seem a little 'loose' and I am wondering if high winds might adversely affect the directional setting of the panels - time will tell and maybe warrant the fifth star! Very prompt delivery,. Thank you.

Purchased this to replace and 'all-in-one' unit of similar price which recently failed. The Evo15 design has the great advantage of having the solar panel separate from the lamp unit, allowing the panel to be placed on a south-facing wall and the lamp unit in a shaded side entrance. Fast delivery, good quality product and great price - what more could you ask?

0 | 0 I have compared this to my Three year old 30 LED security light in terms of out put. This is a no frills indoor out door light. The darker the corner the more impact this makes. I have twined this with a 56 LED light and my garden is bathed in light and does not require the mains light s to ba activated. it also deters unwanted visitors. You have no control over things like sensitivity and duration of lighting but that is a minor flaw. For what this is it delivers. I have evn added on at the front door and it is doing a great job. I must add that I have waterproofed alljoints on this with clear sealant as a precaution. I have no idea how long the two lights will operate for but so far so good.

It was very easy to fit through the thin shed walls, and after a couple of days of charging it provides a brighter light than I was expecting (I've been very disappointed with cheap garden path solar lights in the past!). The movement sensor has also been perfect - whenever I open the shed door the light immediately comes on so I can safely rummage round inside.
I have just ordered a second one to act as an outdoor light on the same shed.

0 | 0 I have mounted the light at the back of the house and it lights the path excellently. The light is quite focussed into a spot, but is very effective.
I've only had the product a few days now so i cant vouch for the water resistance yet. It seems to be recharging properly during the day. The PIR isnt hugely sensitive, but gets triggered when i walk within a few meters of the sensor. This is probably just about right.
The cable is quite long - nearly 5 meters - so if you plan to mount the light in another part of the property you may still be able to mount the panel in a place which gets enough sunlight.
As with all solar lighting please consider the following two points:
- If the panel will not be mounted in a south facing area then perhaps there might not be enough light in winter to charge it.
- If there is a competing source of light, eg street light or neighbours outdoor lights then perhaps you will be less impressed with this product than if you were to deploy it somewhere which is completely dark otherwise.
As it stands - after initial impressions - i would unreseverdely recommend this light, its absolutely fantastic!!

Usability:-
We have had one of these lights in use since December 2008 and it is still going strong. We use it to light a dark alley between the house, the garage and a tall wooden gate. The light given is plenty to ensure that we don't step on a hedgehog or put our hands on a big furry spider when trying to unbolt the gate!
Practicality:-
The solar panel simply sits on the flat garage roof. A matter of minutes to screw the bracket for the lamp and P.I.R. unit to the wall.

0 | 0 This solar light is just the answer if you want an inexpensive means of lighting up an out of the way area and don't want to go to the time and expense of wiring up to the mains supply. I've been using this light for several months now inside my garden shed. It's lightweight and easy to assemble. A sensor detects the movement of the door opening and the light instantly comes on, hence no more fumbling around, one-handed with a torch! Whilst the light unit is obviously protected from the weather(being situated inside the shed), the solar panel hasn't been adversly affected by the recent extreme winter weather conditions. I would definately recommend this product.

It is simple to install and does what it says it does. Just remember to charge the battery as the instructions state. Note this is not a flood light so the illuminated area is fairly small but great for lighting a path or dark corner. What would I ask for on an upgraded model?

0 | 0 The mains powered PIR light on the back of the house failed which meant going out to the bin at night or the garage required carrying a torch along with anything else. This solar light provides an adequate level of light for safe passage and saved calling out an electrician resulting in a hefty bill.
It comes with screws and rawlplugs for fixing both the light unit and solar panel into walls or woodwork. We mounted ours on the wall of the house about 3m up so that the sensor had a decent line of sight. The sensor is fixed but has a decent angle of coverage from its elevated position on the house.
I strongly advise anyone purchasing to make a paper template for use when drilling. There isn't one supplied but it is simple to do and saves a lot of messing about.
Tools needed are a no.6 masonry drill bit, a hammer drill, a hammer, phillips-head (cross head) screwdriver, a decent ladder (someone else to support the ladder for any great height).
For a tidy finish you will also need some cable clips for the solar panel wire. In total it took about an hour to install.

1 | 0 When I moved house I had the advantage of being able to cut though my garage and into the back garden, the only problem was that once the garage door was closed I was left in the pitch dark until I could find my way to the door at the back - this resulted in many bruises - so when I saw this light it was a godsend.
I have no electricity in the garage and am also the worlds most technically inept person but fitting this product was a doddle - I simply placed the solar panel on the roof of the garage, ran the cable in through a gap at the top of the door at the back of the garage and screwed the light onto one of the roof beams. Whole process took less than 10 mins. Now as soon as I close the big garage door the bright light comes on, in both summer and winter (which impressed me given the lack of sunshine in the winter months) and stays on long enough for me to lock garage door and make my way through to the back.
Highly recommended.
