Light Where Cables Cannot Reach
Side gates, shed walls and the back of a garage rarely have a supply nearby. This runs on its own solar panel, so you can mount it on any of them without trenching a cable.
Enough To Find The Keyhole
Two watts gives around two hundred lumens, which is well beyond decorative solar glow. It will show you a keyhole or a step edge without pretending to be a floodlight, and it fades away again shortly after you pass.
Two Finishes, One Fixture
Matte black disappears against dark timber and modern render. Rose gold copper warms against brick and stone. Same light, same seal, same size, so choose on looks alone and it will not change how it performs.
Frequently asked questions
Which colour temperature should I choose?
It comes in warm light at 3000K and white light at 5000K. Warm suits brick, timber and anything near the house where you want the light to feel domestic. White at 5000K reads more like a security light and shows detail more sharply, which suits a garage, a bin store or the back of a workshop.
Does it need any wiring?
No, there is no wiring at all. The panel sits on the top face and charges through the day, then the light comes on in the evening when the sensor is triggered. That is what makes it useful on a side gate, a shed or the top of garden steps where no cable reaches. Give the panel several hours of direct sun each day.
Where should I mount it so the sensor works well?
Mount it around head height and face it along the path rather than straight down. The sensor picks up movement across its field earlier that way, so the light is already up by the time you reach the door. Aiming straight down often means you walk into the detection zone at the same moment you arrive.
Can it be fitted somewhere fully exposed to rain?
Yes. It is rated IP65, so full weather exposure is fine and it does not need an overhang or a porch above it. The body is ABS and AS plastic in either matte black or a rose gold copper finish, and it measures 13 cm wide by 7.5 tall by 3.5 deep, so it sits close to the wall on a door frame or a shed side.
Which finish should I choose?
It makes no difference to how it works, only to how it looks on your wall. Matte black is the safer choice on dark timber, grey render, black window frames and modern doors, where it reads as hardware and stays out of the way. The rose gold copper suits red or buff brick, stone and painted timber, where the warm tone picks up the surrounding colour instead of sitting on it as a dark block.
