Quick answer: choose IP65+ for durability and match lumens to the use case (pathways: 10-50 lm, security: 800-2,000 lm). Outdoor solar lights are designed to withstand South African weather - from harsh sun to heavy rain. They require no wiring, turn on automatically at dusk, and provide years of free lighting.

Outdoor Solar Lights FAQs

Consider: 1) Purpose (decoration vs security), 2) Brightness needed (lumens), 3) IP rating for weather resistance (IP65+ recommended), 4) Battery size for longer nights, 5) Solar panel efficiency for cloudy days.
Quality solar lights run 8-12 hours on a full charge. Runtime depends on battery capacity, LED wattage, and how much sun the panel received during the day.
Solar lights work excellently in South Africa due to high solar irradiance levels (4.5-6.5 kWh/m²/day). Even on cloudy days, most panels charge sufficiently for 6+ hours of light.
