60W Solar Street Light 18Ah 30-36 Hour Run

Buyers who have been let down by solar lights that die by midnight should look at the discharge figure on this one. A 60W all-in-one fitting offered in warm 3000K or daylight 6000K, it is sized for homes, shops, small compounds and pathways rather than open roads.

The manufacturer pairs a 6V 8.5W polycrystalline panel with a LiFePO4 32650 3.2V 18Ah battery and quotes 6 to 8 hours of charging for 30 to 36 hours of discharge. That reserve is well beyond one night, which is the point: after a cloudy day the bank still has something in it. LEDs are rated at 160 lm/W in a moulded ABS body measuring 530 x 240 x 65mm, light enough for a wall bracket or a slim pole.

Mount it at 4 to 6 metres over gates, verandas, shop entrances, staff quarters and walkways. Because solar output moves with siting and season, the long stated discharge should be treated as headroom for poor weather rather than a promise of continuous running. The manufacturer states a 3 year warranty, longer than on the smaller ABS models.
