LAMP UNIT (LIGHT HEAD)
Can be fitted with 744 or 972 LED's (subject to desired specifications).
All LED's are white. Amber or white/amber or other LED color temperatures possible, via special order only and at extra cost.
Each LED has a light output of greater than 8000 mcd and approx. 6 Lux (Lumens per square metre).
Each LED is rated at 3v dc and 15mA.
Standard system uses automatic dusk to dawn operation.
An optional 50/50 system is available which enables the lamp to illuminate at maximum output for the first 6 hours and then reduces to 50% for the remaning hours until dawn.
The optional 50/50 system allows installation at less favorable locations where insolation hours are reduced and also installation at sites where maximum output is not required all night long.

NOTES
Time length of night time illumination is estimated and subject to various factors including geographic location, seasons, weather conditions & location of product etc.
Shorter illumination time due to one or more of the above factors does not define the fixture as being defective or define the fixture as being advertised incorrectly.
We advertise and supply our solar lights to customers all over the world are therefore, naturally, we are unable to guarantee the nightly illumination time as it can vary and any time stated is quoted as 'up to' x amount hours.
Minor errors & omissions must be accepted.
Although unlikely, we reserve the right to supply this product with any minor alterations or minor changes to the specifications (shown above by text description or by photographs) due to different supplies or product batches received, incorporating such product changes made by the manufacturer, without further notice.
Descriptions, specifications and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor changes to a product have only recently been made.
All solar lights must be used in a completely dark location at night time otherwise they may not illuminate. Nearby strong lighting sources or ambient lighting may affect the operation of a solar light. This does not define the fixture as being defective.
Descriptions, specifications and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor changes to a product have only recently been made.
