Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Solar Wall Lights

Definition
Solar wall lights are self-contained outdoor lighting devices designed for vertical surface mounting. They integrate photovoltaic panels, rechargeable batteries, LED light sources, and control electronics into a single housing. These fixtures automatically illuminate at dusk using stored solar energy collected during daylight hours, providing energy-efficient ambient or security lighting without requiring electrical wiring.

Typical specifications for this product category include luminous flux ranging from 300 to 800 lumens (tested per IES LM-79), battery capacity from 1500 to 3000 mAh, solar panel power from 2 to 5 watts, and illumination duration of 8 to 12 hours on a full charge. Ingress protection ratings are IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529, and motion sensor range is 3 to 8 meters for models with that feature. Color temperature ranges from 3000 K (warm white) to 6500 K (daylight). Charging time under full sun exposure is 6 to 8 hours. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 50°C. Housing materials commonly include polycarbonate, aluminum alloy, and tempered glass; some models use die-cast aluminum (ADC12 per ASTM B85). Unit weight is typically 0.8 to 1.5 kg, and dimensions range from 150 to 300 mm.

These values are reference ranges for the product category and must be verified for the specific model with the legal manufacturer or supplier. Standards mentioned are procurement references and do not imply certification or compliance of any particular product.

When selecting solar wall lights, consider mounting location, sun exposure, required brightness, and whether motion detection is needed. Verify that the chosen model's specifications meet the application's requirements. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the photovoltaic panel and lens to ensure optimal performance. If illumination duration decreases significantly, the battery may need replacement. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions for installation and care.
Working Principle
During daylight hours, photovoltaic cells convert solar radiation into direct current electricity. This electrical energy charges an integrated rechargeable battery through a charge controller that prevents overcharging. At dusk, a light sensor triggers the control circuit to power the LED array using energy from the battery. Most models include motion sensors that activate brighter illumination when movement is detected, then revert to dimmer standby lighting or turn off after a programmed delay.
