Vintage Solar Wall Light PT0109

Solar lights function by converting sunlight into electrical energy using photovoltaic (solar) panels. During the day, the solar panel absorbs sunlight, and the semiconducting materials inside the panel generate electrical current, charging the battery. When it becomes dark, a photoresistor detects the drop in ambient light and triggers the stored battery power, turning on the LED lights. The process is completely automatic, and the lights turn off again when the sensor detects sunlight the next day.

Our solar lights are designed with high-efficiency batteries that store enough energy to ensure continuous operation even during cloudy or rainy days. Under ideal conditions, the lights can operate for 2 days without receiving additional sunlight. For customers requiring even longer backup, we recommend opting for larger battery capacities.

Yes, solar lights can still work on cloudy or rainy days. Although the energy generated from the solar panel may be reduced due to low sunlight exposure, the battery typically stores enough power to keep the lights functional for several days, ensuring reliable lighting even in less favourable weather conditions.

Integrated solar lights combine all essential components—solar panels, LED lights, lithium-ion batteries, and motion sensors—into a single compact unit. This all-in-one system offers seamless operation, is easier to install, and requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for various outdoor settings.

For optimal performance, solar street lights should be charged for 10 to 12 hours in direct sunlight during the initial setup. After that, regular daily exposure to sunlight will be sufficient to keep the battery charged and the lights functioning efficiently.

Our solar street lights can typically stay illuminated for 6 to 8 hours per night. However, if longer illumination periods are needed, customers can choose models with higher-capacity batteries or install additional panels to extend the runtime.

Our solar street lights are versatile and can be installed in a wide variety of outdoor locations, including:

• Streets
• Gardens
• Parks
• Courtyards
• Farms
• Commercial properties
• Camping areas

They are ideal for locations that need reliable lighting without extensive wiring or grid connections.

Our solar street lights are designed to be low-maintenance. Regular rain usually keeps the solar panels clean. However, in areas with excessive dust or debris, we recommend cleaning the panels every few months to ensure optimal charging efficiency. Additionally, inspecting the lights periodically for wear or damage is advised.

Solar lights are equipped with a photoresistor that detects the ambient light level. When it senses that it's dark, it automatically turns on the lights. Many models also feature PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensors, which detect movement and trigger the lights to operate at full brightness when needed. The lights will turn off automatically when the photoresistor detects daylight.

Common indicators of issues with solar lights include:

• The light turning on during the day, which might suggest a sensor malfunction.
• Diminished brightness, possibly due to a dirty solar panel or a failing battery.
• Lights flickering or failing to stay on as long as expected. In case of any problems, first check the sensor and clean the panel. If issues persist, contact customer service for assistance.

For minor issues, you can try adjusting the settings, cleaning the sensor, or restarting the system. For more serious malfunctions, such as flickering lights, non-responsive sensors, or physical damage, it’s recommended to consult a professional technician or contact customer service.

Peak sun hours refer to the time of day when the sunlight is most intense and capable of generating the maximum amount of energy for solar panels. This typically occurs in the middle of the day and varies based on geographic location and weather conditions.

Solar lights offer several advantages:

• Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required, often self-sustaining through rain cleaning.
• Cost-Effective: No electricity bills and low installation costs, reducing energy cost and long-term running costs.
• Environmentally Friendly: Harnessing renewable solar energy reduces carbon footprints.
• Portable: Solar lights can be installed in locations without the need for electrical wiring or power points.
• Efficient: Provides a reliable lighting system even in remote areas.

In areas with high dust or debris accumulation, clean the solar panels every 3 to 6 months to ensure maximum efficiency. Use a soft cloth or sponge with water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the panel surface.

When installing solar lights, consider the following:

• Sunlight Exposure: Ensure the solar panel is placed in a location with maximum sunlight exposure, avoiding shade from trees or buildings.
• Initial Charging: Charge the lamp for 10 to 12 hours under direct sunlight before use.
• Proximity to Other Lights: Install the panel away from artificial lights, which may confuse the sensor into thinking it’s daytime.

Lumens measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. In the context of solar lights, the higher the lumen rating, the brighter the light. For example, lights with higher lumens are ideal for security purposes, while lower-lumen lights are more suited for decorative or ambient lighting.

Solar panels in our lights typically last 20 to 25 years, while the LEDs can function for up to 80,000-100,000 hours (approximately 10 to 12 years). The lithium-ion batteries may require replacement every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance.
