Outside solar flood light

Featured Replies

Can anyone recommend any standalone solar powered flood/spotlights that comes with backup battery that can be used in the garden to light up dark areas. It doesn't have to be extremely bright,  but something that would last most of the night ie 8 to 12 hours.

I purchased this flood light: https://solarwarehousesa.com/products/fivestar-solar-remote-dual-led-flood-light-50w?variant=44737618215233&currency=ZAR&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAjwu4WoBhBkEiwAojNdXtLTm5wyD_j5abLUFYC8Kh3iuTgWtiNqcREAIAfrPEpI9flQreKRVBoCXlcQAvD_BwE

 

A 30W and 50W version, they have been working really well for just over a month now I think. It seems to last the night but I have them dimmed down a lot (I think one click away from the dimmest). It comes on automatically each night based on the lighting levels and turns off in the morning.

Thanks for the response, i will keep this one in mind on my next purchase. I purchased https://www.takealot.com/ecomlight-solar-flood-spot-light-strobe-series-60w/PLID73308903 about a month ago and it seems to be working very well for the moment, i guess i will have to see when it gets to the 6/12 month mark. A number of people complain about it's brightness, but it serves the purpose i needed from it, using it at reduced brightness and last about 12 hours so far.
