Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What factors should I consider when choosing a solar LED flood light?
When choosing a solar LED flood light, consider the area you want to illuminate and the brightness required. Assess the size of the space, the amount of sunlight the area receives, and the specific application (e.g., security, decoration, or functionality). Additionally, look at the lumen output, battery capacity, and any special features like adjustable angles or long battery life.
- How many lumens do I need for my area?
The number of lumens you need depends on the size and purpose of the area you wish to illuminate:
- Small areas (e.g., trash cans, side yards): 800 to 1000 lumens
- Medium areas (e.g., driveways, walkways): 1600 to 2000 lumens
- Large areas (e.g., parking lots, sports courts): 3000 to 4800 lumens
Higher lumen outputs provide brighter light, which is essential for larger or more critical areas.
- How long does a solar LED flood light last on a single charge?
The duration a solar LED flood light lasts on a single charge varies by model and battery capacity:
- Standard models typically run for up to 5 nights on a single charge.
- High-capacity models like the Solar Plus LED Floodlight 3000 can run up to 10 nights on a single charge.
- Brightness and usage patterns also affect battery life; higher brightness settings may reduce the number of nights a light can operate on a single charge.
