Solar-Powered Security Light
Harness the power of the sun for cost-effective and easy-to-install outdoor security.
Key Features & How It Works
Solar-powered floodlights use a small solar panel to absorb sunlight during the day. This energy is stored in a rechargeable battery, which then powers the LED bulbs at night. Most models are equipped with a **PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor** that detects heat signatures from people or animals, automatically turning the light on when motion is detected and off after a set time.
Technical Specifications to Consider:
- **The measure of a light's brightness. For security, look for at least 500-1000 lumens.
- **Battery Life:** Check the number of hours the light can run on a full charge, and how long it takes to charge.
- **Motion Sensor Range:** The distance and angle the sensor can detect motion. A wider range is better for larger areas.
- **IP Rating:** An Ingress Protection (IP) rating indicates the light's resistance to dust and water. An IP65 rating is common for outdoor use, ensuring it can withstand rain and splashes.
