Description
Our updated XT series comes with Powersaving technology as standard and includes several other important updates to the London, Durham and Canterbury design. Powersaving mode gives you the option to reduce the brightness of the light slightly in return for doubling the runtime each night which is ideal for customers that don't have a great solar panel location in their garden.
The XT series also benefits from a redesigned top piece which houses the solar panel, batteries and SMD bulb. The updated design has eliminated the potential for water ingress and the solar panel output has been increased significantly. A waterproof housing has also been added to the underside of the XT series top which shelters the batteries and circuitry from ambient moisture.

Question:
Got a single one of these to go with my shorter London XT lights. Looks great and works very well so far - a simple and inexpensive solution to replace my troublesome mains-powered garden lights. A little flimsy in construction, but performing well so far in response to the fading October sunlight - I hope it lasts well. By Andrew Longfield on Oct 31, 2018 Helpful? 0 | 1
Question:
I received this light and placed it in full sun for a couple of days but it only works in saver mode. I have, as per instructions, switched it off and will leave it in full sun for three days then try again. Unfortunately my lovely husband had already recycled the box!!

Question:
This is a very nice light, looks very classy but think it could be improved by making the plastic into the metal post , a screw thread rather than a push fit, and do the same with the solar light top, i know it would cost more to produce ,but it make this product a five star 14/1/2017 By Carl Keith Brewins on Jan 14, 2017 Answer:
Many thanks for the suggestion Carl, we'll look into this to see if it could be improved.

Question:
Worked well initially, but there is a major design flaw with the toppers that allows rainwater to gather on the top, over time this milks the plastic over the solar panel rendering them useless. A small angle engineered into the top would allow for rain runoff.
I've had these lights for around 4 years now, two sets of tops and now the main light plastic casing has cracked, time to look for a more durable replacement. By Wayne Evans on May 01, 2017 Answer:
Thank you for the feedback, over the last 4 years our tops have had two major upgrades and are as you describe with rounded top and also a powersaving mode for winter months or poor panel location. The new tops can be seen here
