Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
It does what is says, except for the glow at night when not activated. The light is west facing with some trees to shade it to the south. The truth will be what happens in February. So far so good By Bob Godzicz on Oct 15, 2014 Answer:
The dim glow has been removed from this item due to customer feedback. It will only light on PIR activation now. Helpful? 6 | 0
Question:
Received the light very quickly and had it up on the shed in no time. It works very well and gives off a good light. However, I can't help but wonder if these lights are really any different to the ones that appear to be the same ones sold on ebay for under a tenner. By Den on Oct 29, 2014 Answer:
Thanks for the review.
Whilst there may be some bargains on ebay a few of the differences we've noted on a number of the product copies we've seen include:
- inferior water proofing
- less powerful panel
- low quality and often low capacity battery
- low quality LEDs

Question:
I found that you can install in a vertical position too. And you can also bend the aluminium bracket to a different angle to optimise charging. Best angle is to match your latitude i.e. about 55 degrees. This allows it to be fit in other places and not just on a wall. By Guy on Nov 07, 2014 Helpful? 3 | 0
Question:
I fitted one of these lights over a southeast facing doorway a fortnight ago. There is slight shading from a tree, but even in awful Pennine weather (snowed twice) and mainly overcast, it charged up and works fine. I tilted the unit by about 20 degrees to collect light a bit more efficiently when I fitted it. I took the precaution of sealing the screws with epoxy resin just in case water might seep into the unit via the screwholes.
It worked from the evening of the day it was put up.
I didn't expect the light to be very bright, and it isn't - however, although it's 2.5m above the ground and approached from the side, it illuminates the door, the steps below and the path immediately in front quite adequately for getting around, finding key and keyhole, etc.
It's also very unobtrusive.
My only negative comment would be that the light is very "cold". I expected this, and it doesn't matter much at this low intensity, but the contrast with any nearby warn-white illumination is very marked.
I'm very pleased with this nicely designed product, so I've purchased three more, two for a relative's housefront. Definitely recommended. By Anthony V on Nov 18, 2016 Helpful? 3 | 0
Question:
Hello.
I bought 3 solar curve lights as an experiment. We recently purchased this property and it has three exits on the east, south and west sides with no external lights, each area gets direct sun light for part of the day.
I do not know how much exposure each unit will get by mid winter, ie why it is a test, all lights work well at this time [the end of August] we will know once we get well past mid winter if there is enough winter light to maintain the units so they can still function, I will write a review online february/march to report my findings.
I understand you recommend a south facing elevation, but not many people will have the ideal place, ie why I thought it worth a try on the east and west walls. Hopefully our feedback later will let you and prospective future purchasers know how they perform under our less than ideal conditions once we have been through a winter.
As current feedback on the solar curve, its light output is very good, as a comment maybe one with a larger collector would be an idea for areas with a less than ideal exposure position.
Second comment for easier level adjustment, maybe oblong rather than round mounting holes, as there are on all surface mounting electrical boxes would be a good idea.
All in all the solar curve is a beautifully designed and well made product. All the best Martin.
PS our daughter and son-in-law were very impressed with the lights when they visited us recently, I have given them your web address. By Martin on Sep 01, 2014

Question:
Very fast delivery and probably one of the best solar devices I have bought. Very good light output , close to a 60 watt bulb brightness. 2 illuminate the side passage of my house which is about 15 metres long . Will certainly buy more for putting over my shed doors.

Question:
This was a replacement for a previous Curve light which had given up the ghost, so it went straight on into the two existing holes in the rim of a plastic gutter. Although identical in appearance, the new unit doesn't waste its charge by being on low all night. The light is brighter than the previous model, very sensitive, and although we've only had two sunny (November) days in the two weeks or so since it was fitted, it has maintained its charge so far. I'm very pleased with it! By Dr C W Boyne on Nov 28, 2014 Helpful? 2 | 0
Question:

Service and delivery could hardly be bettered - Ordered at 11.02, despatched at 11.08 and delivered before 8.45 next day - free delivery !
Very satisfied. By Sandra on Nov 29, 2014 Helpful? 2 | 0
Question:
When it first arrived and opened the box, I was struck how small it looked. Due to having a concrete Porch over the door, the light had to be about 3/4 of the height of the door. I was worried that even though it is on a south facing wall it may have difficulties charging. Three days of leaving it off as per instructions, I inserted and removed the pin to turn it on. Went out and come back after night fall and the wife was shocked when she neared the door. Bright light, key hole easily visible, Two screw holes to drill, and the rawlplugs and screws that came with it, Hey presto Light. Due to it being lower than normal, the range of course is closer. But where we live there is no street lighting so this is great. I am going to order another this time higher and away from the porch to assist with lighting the pathway.

Question:
Just fitted one of these for two customers of mine after my recommendation of the lamps. I would trust these lamps when others fail miserably and have had one on test for 18 months continuous without a hitch. Trust me,i wouldnt want to use them if they were poor quality as my reputation would be in tatters! By johnny on Dec 04, 2014 Helpful? 2 | 0
