JohnMo Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Have quite a long drive and approximately 2m tall retaining wall. Looking for solar powered down lighting similar to street lights. I may need to extend upwards to get lights at correct height but that ok. I really want to install solar powered only, but need decent performance in winter. Panel size shouldn't be an issue as I have loads of space on a south facing part of the hill. Anyone using anything they can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 continuously lit or PIR? There are chinesium solar floods that can be wall or pole mounted, I've one of these on the corner of the house and it's very impressive https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233670054949 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billt Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Used a couple of these on our gate https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089Y9KXVH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're on at a low level when it's dark, but brighten up when the PIR is activated. Haven't run out of battery even in the winter. They aren't exactly flood lights, but bright enough for us. They are unknown Chinese though.
