Collection: Solar Spotlights

Solar spotlights are designed to direct a focused beam of light onto a particular spot or object, often from a distance. Their primary purpose is to accentuate specific features by illuminating them with precision. 

In contrast, solar floodlights emit a wide and diffused beam of light, spreading illumination over a broader area. These lights are commonly employed to illuminate expansive spaces or large outdoor areas.

The charging time of a solar spotlight can vary between 4 to 12 hours, depending on the specific make and model. 

The sunlight intensity plays a crucial role in the battery charging process. Additionally: 

• battery capacity 
• quality of the solar panel 

also affect the overall charging performance. 

Some newer designs automatically stop charging once the battery reaches full capacity. 

For example, our Star8 10W LED twin head solar spotlight requires 5 hours of direct sunlight for a complete charge and can provide a constant brightness of 200 lumens for up to 6 hours. It also features a motion sensor, enabling convenient activation when needed. 

Conventional light sources such as halogen, incandescent, and fluorescent bulbs emit light across a broad spectrum including infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths that insects can sense. 

In comparison, modern LED solar spotlights emit a narrower range of light (mainly visible light) and generate less heat, which helps reduce their appeal to insects

Yes — solar spotlights can be a great option for security, especially if they include: 

• motion sensors 
• wide beam angle 
• higher lumen output 

However, if you need to light large spaces like driveways or carports, a solar floodlight may be better due to the broader coverage. 

Many models do.

Solar spotlights with motion sensors help with: 

• improved security 
• longer battery performance 
• added convenience (automatic activation when someone walks past) 

Common causes include: 

• insufficient sunlight exposure 
• dirty solar panel surface 
• panel facing the wrong direction 
• battery aging over time 
• sensor being blocked or triggered too often 

A quick fix is wiping the solar panel clean and moving it into full sun for a full day to test.
