Buying Tips

Check Lumens, Not Watts

Lumens measure brightness. For security, look for 1000+ lumens. Garden paths need 100-300 lumens.

Battery Capacity Matters

Larger mAh batteries mean longer runtime. Look for 2000mAh+ for 8+ hours of light.

IP Rating for Durability

IP65 or higher means waterproof. Essential for South African thunderstorms.

Panel Quality

Monocrystalline panels charge faster and last longer than polycrystalline.

Solar Lights = Load Shedding Insurance

Unlike grid-powered outdoor lights, solar lights work during load shedding. Maintain security and visibility around your home 24/7, regardless of Eskom.

Solar Lights Buying FAQs

Solar lights range from R100 for basic fairy lights to R2,500+ for commercial-grade flood lights. Quality garden path lights typically cost R200-500, while good security lights with motion sensors run R400-1,200.

Major retailers include Builders Warehouse, Makro, Game, Takealot, and Leroy Merlin. Online options offer the widest selection, while hardware stores let you see the lights in person before buying.

Budget lights (under R200) often have poor battery life and dim output. Mid-range options (R300-800) offer the best value. Spending a bit more upfront saves money on replacements.

Quality solar lights last 2-5 years. The LED itself can last 50,000+ hours, but batteries typically need replacement after 1-2 years. Look for lights with replaceable batteries.

Yes! Solar lights are completely independent of the grid. They charge during the day and provide light regardless of load shedding. They're a popular backup lighting solution.
