Best Solar Powered Security and Flood Lights

Best Solar Powered Security and Flood Lights

 Need a little outside light when it's dark? The best way to keep your parking lot, street corners and public places lit, like parks, clinics and municipal buildings, are the use of solar powered security and flood lights. The reasons are simple; low maintenance, uncompromised performance and zero energy use. Maintenance is virtually non-existent.

Modern versions are powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery that will last for years before it needs replacement. The high output LED lights will virtually never burn out and the solar panel is maintenance free. Once the light is in place, the only maintenance there will be is to change the battery, and that won't happen for years down the road. Below I have listed the some of the best Solar Powered Security and Flood Lights that's currently on the market.


eLEDing Pure Digital Solar Powered Motion Activated LED Security Flood Lights

Pure digital solar/hybrid lighting engine, model EE836DE is equivalent to a
40W (520Lm)+ incandescent lamp with up to 40+hours of continuous use in the "ON" mode, providing remarkable illuminating performance under our patented eLEDing technology.

"Dusk-to-Dawn" capability creates a unique "Moonlight" profile to maintain soft illumination throughout the evening. Environmentally friendly lithium-based battery works under our Intelligent Power Management to provide reliable green and smart lighting Easy DIY in minutes, while the motion sensing coverage and illumination direction are easily adjustable.
Operation Temp.: -4ºF(-20ºC) to +125ºF(52ºC), Weatherproofed (IP54) with UV protection. Innovative EMG mode as indoor lighting option. Invented, designed, engineered and QC'd in the USA

eLEDing: Smart Lighting Technology is a leap forward from market competitors:

1. Outstanding brightness level with only 36SMD-LEDs up to 400+LM (SDP) brightness with wide soft illumination quality
2. Longest continuous illumination is up to 40+HRs with exclusive Intelligence Power Management (IPM). It is the only category of solar light capable of truly Dusk-to-Dawn operating with "ON as SMART ON" profile (40+Hrs VS. 2-4hrs or only motion triggered very short light up time) extendable continuous illumination yet the required battery capacity are much smaller & lighter (1.0AH VS. 3-4AH outdate type lights)
3. Unique "SMART ON" not only provides ultra extendable illuminating time, but also auto-gradually dims down to "Moon Night" mode then runs up to max intensity of brightness upon detecting human movement. This profile helps maintain a friendly night environment with reasonable brightness level all night long illumination without disturbing your neighbors.
4. Has a larger capacity solar panel (3W VS 1W in average) provides its all night long ability to overcome extreme poor cloudy days
5. Higher durability with UV protection, light body weight (Polycarbonates-PC built its body is a high durability material and has high impact-resistance for outdoor application VS Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene -ABS plastic has outdoor weakness materials)
6. ePIR advanced technology for pure digital motion characteristic in controllability and sensitivity (up to 70' x 180d).
7. "Green" Lithium-based battery has much higher life cycle, light weight and total non-toxic, has 10 times longer than Lead acid based battery such as AGM, Gel and SLA or NiCad e.g.
8. With its effortless setup and ultra-compact nature, eLEDing conforms to all your hybrid lighting needs-all while maintaining a Net-GREEN standard for all your illuminations there without or limited AC power source, and as emergency back-up lights.

What's in the Box
MAXSA Innovations Solar LED Dual-Spotlight with three long-life 2100 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries, solar panel with 9-foot solar panel cable, mounting hardware, User Guide. Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I put my solar panel anywhere?
Your solar panel needs to be placed outside in a sunny area and needs to face the southern sky. If it is in the shade it will still charge, but not as well as in the sun. If it is behind glass, it may not charge properly.
2. What if the power cord isn’t long enough to suit my needs?
15 foot extension cords are available from MAXSA Innovations. You can connect more than one if you need to, however it is recommended that no more than three are used.
3. How long will the light stay on?
The light will stay on as long as it detects motion and the battery has power. When fully charged, the battery should be able to provide up to 170 minutes of light in total before it needs to be recharged. If there is no motion, the light will turn off after 10 seconds to four minutes, depending on where you set the TIME dial.
4. What type of batteries does it use and how long do they last?
This light uses 3 rechargeable AA batteries. They should last at least 3 years, depending on use. When it is time to replace the batteries, you can replace them with rechargeable AA batteries from any battery retailer.
5. How long does my light need to charge before I can turn it on?
You should do an initial charge of three days with the solar panel connected and the light switch in the OFF position. After that, you can switch the light to AUTO. It should charge enough during the day to last through every night.
6. Will the light stay on all night long?
No. This light is motion-activated only. It will stay on as long as it detects motion and the batteries have power. On a full charge, the batteries should last for almost 3 hours, which is equivalent to 170 one-minute activations.
7. How dark does it need to be for the light to start turning on?
This is determined by you. If you want the light turn on during the day and during the night, set the LUX dial towards the graphic of the Sun. If you want it to turn on only when it is very dark out, set the LUX dial towards the graphic of the Moon. You can set it anywhere between as well depending of the level of darkness you desire before the light turns on. NOTE: If you have it set for very dark, any other lights that are nearby may prevent this light from turning on.

Auto Shut-Off
The Mr. Beams spotlight turns off automatically after 20 seconds of no motion, conserving battery life.

Motion Sensor Activated
The spotlight instantly turns on when it detects motion, and can detect motion from as far as 25 feet away with 160 degrees of vision.

Bright LED Light
Two bright power LEDs provides 300 lumens of bright white light making the MB393 one of the brightest wireless spotlights on the market.

Durable, Energy-Efficient LED
The bright LEDs never need replacing--it's so efficient that you will get more than 3,600 activations on one set of batteries.

Recommended Applications
The MB393 from Mr. Beams is an ultra bright battery-powered, wireless, motion-sensor LED spotlight that requires no wiring. Simply insert batteries and attach to any surface. A built-in photocell activates the motion sensor only after the sun has set. These are fantastic and bright outdoor security lights for yard, doorways, garage, and playground. The MB393 is weatherproof for year-round illumination. Attach these Spotlights anywhere in minutes without an electrician.

Tips on Operation
The MB393 motion sensor LED spotlight has a photocell inside that activates the LED when it is somewhat dark to conserve battery life. This is often referred to as a "dusk-to-dawn" sensor because if it is used outdoors, it will start to work early in the evening through to the morning when it starts to get light out. It does not have to be complete darkness as the light sensor will enable the light if the detected light level is low (with a light intensity below about 3.5 lux at the light). To test the MB393 before installation or at any time, it's recommended to put fresh batteries in and take it into a dark room. Leave the room to avoid your motion retriggering it. The light should shut off after a minute or two if the light is working properly (the motion sensor may need time to settle immediately after putting the batteries in). When you walk into the room, the motion sensor should trigger turning the light on.

About Amorphous Solar Technology
Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current, they do not store power. Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon onto glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. Amorphous solar panels are best for smaller output needs, temporary set ups, and areas that do not receive predictable sun conditions. These solar panels ensure that your solar lights will work anywhere.
