Features

Beautifully designed and carefully engineered, the Canterbury XT represents one of the most substantial developments in the world of energy-efficient lighting. With its clean and simple design lines, this solar wall light will add a sophisticated touch to any outdoor area while keeping it lit for up to 10 hours. Traditional outdoor lighting solutions make getting power to outside walls a hassle, but that's a thing of the past thanks to the Canterbury XT. This wireless lighting fixture has been created to work in outdoor settings where running an electrical installation would be costly, impractical, and time-consuming. By contrast, the Canterbury XT is easy to install and even easier to operate thanks to its fully automated settings and quick set-up. This solar wall light has also been designed to be kind to your wallet, as there are no running costs involved once it is attached to the wall. And thanks to its Powersaving™ technology, the Canterbury XT is a cost-efficient way of keeping outdoor areas adequately illuminated for up to 10 hours. For your peace of mind, the Canterbury XT comes with a quality guarantee backed up by our Silverlight standard.

Canterbury XT Solar wall lights I bought 6 Canterbury XT Solar wall lights in late spring and had them sent to me in Spain, while they look good and produce the required amount of light the on/off switches are absolutely rubbish, of the six only three switches are of any use. I'm disappointed to say the least. The switches are not of any quality that could be referred to as good. Never again. By Dan Sweeney Reply from SolarCentre:Hi Dan. Thanks for your comments, I've asked customer services to get in touch with you to resolve the issues you're having there and to make sure we get some photos so we can improve the switches as required.

ruined product for the sake of a few pence looks pretty but out of the box its rubbish, even after being turned off and charged for a few days it only lasted for a few hours, I thought maybe a better way would be to take the batteries out and give them a charge, I became obvious what the problem is the batteries are the cheapest lowest power most useless ones on the market or in China. they are unbranded 900MAH . I replaced them with Energizer 2450MAH and hay presto everything works brilliantly, lesson for Solarcenter don't ruin a product for a bit more margin By Adrian Winch Reply from SolarCentre:Many thanks for your comments Adrian - good to hear you like the product. The standard batteries in the unit allow up to 3 nights of run time, any extra than this is just wasted capacity as the solar panel won't use all of that extra capacity as part of its standard charge and discharge cycle. When designing the products to work in UK conditions it's always a balancing act between the solar panel and battery capacity and from what customers are telling us we've got this balance in the right place at present. Once again thanks for your feedback and we'll be discussing this in the next product design review meeting.

Canterbury XT solar wall light The 6 lights I ordered look the part but they are not lasting threw the night only a few hours By Paul Reply from SolarCentre:

Thanks for the feedback. If you lights are in a poor location or you have been very unlucky with many overcast days in a row the lights should work up to 10 hours. Have you tried switching to power saving mode? This mode is design to more than double the run time, perfect for winter conditions.

Simple design flaw While I am satisfied with the overall quality of the product itself, a simple change to the design would make fitting so much easier. The holes in the front plate are not horizontal so cannot be used as a template for fitting, and the holes in the backplate for attaching to the wall are neither in the horizontal nor vertical plane. This means you have to attach the backplate to the wall by one screw then assemble the light to find the perpendicular. Then you have to dismantle the light without moving the backplate so you can mark and drill the second wall screw. It would have been so easy, and so helpful, to have just made the front holes horizontal and the backplat holes vertical. By Tony Cuthbert Reply from SolarCentre:Thanks for your comments and suggestion Tony (very obvious now that you say it!) We've sent a revised design for the backplate over to our manufacturing team for the new mould to be constructed. All future batches of the Canterbury will feature the new backplate, thanks once again.

The "Won't make it through the night" blues... It works, but at the brighter setting does make it through the night. Very stylish casing - I bought a mains sealed LED unit with exactly the same design at nearly FOUR times the price, and which will cost me £2 a year to run! Fine as background lighting, but you might still stand on the cat! By Michael O

really pleased Look great and very simple to set up and install. Only criticism is it has to be quite dark before they come on,would be nice to have a manual override option. By Paul Flight Reply from SolarCentre:Thanks for the review. One idea is you can cover the panel if you need the lights on sooner, just make sure to remove the cover once it's dark enough for them to run anyway so they charge properly the next day.

If not we strongly recommend the XT Tops as an upgrade that have been very well received. They offer enhanced waterproofing and Powersaving mode that have only been introduced recently with the new XT range of lights.
