    Illuminate entryways and walkways at night—these lights shine when they detect motion. Powered by the sun, they can be installed where you don’t have access to electricity. They dim at night when no motion is detected to save battery. All meet IP65 and are sealed against dust and moisture, so they’ll stand up to wet weather.
    For best performance, position the solar panel in full sunlight and avoid shaded areas.
    These lights can also be set to turn on at dusk and run for 6 or 8 hrs.
    Style A—Style A operate continuously at 10% brightness.
    Styles B and C—Styles B and C operate continuously at full brightness.
    Style D—Style D operates continuously at full brightness. Style D includes a cord to install the solar panel where there is sunlight. Style D are ideal for cold climates because their insulated battery charges at temperatures as low as 0° F. The solar panel can also mount directly to the light when space is tight.
    Style E—Style E operates continuously at full brightness. Style E includes a cord to install the solar panel where there is sunlight.

    Startle intruders and draw attention to activity in remote areas without access to power—these solar-powered lights shine bright when motion is detected. They charge during the day, and the battery lasts all night with typical activity. If triggered continuously, these lights reduce brightness to last six hours on a full charge. Rated for use in wet locations, they hold up in rain and humidity.
    Mount these lights about 8 ft. high on exterior walls. For maximum sunlight exposure, place the solar panel on a roof or wall.
    2 Heads—Lights with two heads can also be set to turn on at dusk and run continuously for up to six hours, even if no motion is detected. They include a stake for installing the solar panel in the ground.

    Solar-Powered Floodlights

    Light up large signs or outdoor areas without running wires underground. Aim their solar panels at the sun, and these floodlights will charge all day. They turn on automatically at dusk and off at dawn. The batteries are large enough to power them for at least two nights, so they’re reliable even in cloudy weather. These floodlights are rated IP65, which means they’re sealed to keep out dust, sprinklers, and rain.

    Style B are designed to run at full brightness all night. If you only need them on at certain times, you can also download an app to control when they turn on or off. These floodlights have insulated lead-acid batteries that can charge in temperatures as low as -20° F. They have an integrated kickstand with pre-drilled holes that doubles as a mounting bracket. Use it to prop them up or to secure them in place. Mount the solar panel and batteries to a pole (not included) and connect them to the lights with the included cord.

    Slip these floodlights onto round poles to brighten parking lots, walkways, and other areas without a power source. Install them in a sunny spot and their battery will charge all day—it’s large enough to power them for several nights. These floodlights shine at full brightness for two hours after sunset, then dim for the rest of the night. If they sense motion in the dark, they’ll brighten again. Rated IP65, these floodlights are sealed to keep out dust, rain, and sprinklers.
    Hardwire—Choose a hardwire floodlight for areas with long periods of cloudy weather. If the battery runs out, they switch to the wired power source.
    Style A—Style A have an insulated battery that can charge in temperatures as low as 0° F, so they’re a good choice for cold climates. You can adjust the light appearance with a switch.

    Solar Flagpole Lights

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Landscape Lights. Solar Flagpole Lights.
    Illuminate outdoor flags without connecting to an electric power source. These lights have a built-in solar panel that gathers energy from the sun throughout the day to power them at night. Because you don’t need to wire these lights to a standard energy source, you can use them with flagpoles located in the most remote areas of your property. These lights mount on top of your flagpole between the pulley and the ball ornament to illuminate your flag from above. A sensor turns them on automatically at night—no need to remember to switch them on manually.

    Illuminate paths, driveways, and other areas that don’t have a power source without running wires underground. Install these lights in a sunny area, and a solar panel on the top will keep their battery charged. They turn on automatically at dusk and off at dawn. Rated IP65, these lights are sealed against dust and moisture, so they’ll stand up to sprinklers and wet weather. Install them into concrete with the included anchors. To avoid dark spots, space these lights no more than 12 ft. apart.
