  1. That was a temp instalation.
  2. Morning 33 x 25.5 x 10.5 cm
  3. The model I have recently purcahsed also does not have a communications port, which does not bother me for my system.
  4. Anybody on this forum have experience with Solar Powered LED Flood/Street lights. Without going into a whole long story, it is not practical to connect my current 20watt garden floods onto my small inverter system, so I am looking for some Solar LED Floods that will keep things lit during load shedding. I have been recomended this 30W Solar Flood but I am concerend that: 1. It will not be powerful enough 2. The battery may be too small to keep them light lit all night. I prefer the looks of this 200w Solar Flood but they are expensive and is the battery also big enough to keep it lit all night. I think both need 12hrs soalr charging so that in itself may be an issue. Alternatively I could just put it onto sensor mode so it only works when someone sets it off. Any help would be appreciated.
  5. I purchased that exact same model a month ago and so far I am very happy with it. Build quality is very good and it does exactly what I want it to do. The load I have on it is never over 400watt and mostly around 300watt. The downside is that there seems to be zero backup from Fivestar SA themselevs, they just never get back to you, and there is no load reading on the LCD panel. I purchased a digital watt meter from Geewiz and that works perfectly. The retailer did answer any queries I had. Like any inverter it needs to be installed in a well ventilated room otherwise it is going to overheat and you could have an issue. If I had spare R150k sitting in a cupboard I would be paying an expert to install a soalr unit, but I dont, so this will have to do for this pensioner now 😄
