Evo SMD Solar Security Light

Good Very good quality light. awesome PIR distance. good light output for the tiny 10w SMD led. im using it to light up a driveway at end of garden.. time will tell.. as my place is on coast and gets hit by strong winds/rain. I had to secure the light/pir/pv cell better with bits of wood. A few things required for next version..... -- consider a brighter LED option. are you able to make a option for a 50w SMD light? or would pv panel have to be increase? -- Add a position locking mechanism for the PIR sensor. you can lock it in position on the vertical axis, but not horizontally. Have had to secure mind further with zip ties due to strong winds moving it. Although the vertical locking isn't brilliant (change to a secure nut/bolt design?) -- the PV cell ball joint isn't idle in windy places. and it could move easy on the slightly touch. add a option for the user to detach the ball joint and fixing points on side of panel to allow direct fixing to a surface... or on another note. change the ball joint for one that can be tightened securely. A two light option and 1 pv cell option would be good.

Massive improvement on older Evos Didn't expect this to compete with my Evo36 which finally gave up the ghost after 3 years service, but it does. If anything its actually brighter than the 36 even though the unit is quite a bit smaller (the solar panel is same size as 36). Definitely prefer the warm white on this to the blue white of the 36 and the unit looks much more waterproof too. By Richard Gregory

good nice solid little unit that gives off a lot of light By Rob

First impressions I had problems with water getting into my Evo36 so I contacted solar centre who kindly offered me money back and this new Evo SMD fitting. The difference is obvious the minute you take it out the box. The waterproofing weak points on the older model have been well and truly dealt with on the SMD which has been sealed to a very high standard. The light has been working very well so far but the true test will come in winter. By Eugine

Pocket rocket Small but very bright By Ade

Brilliant lights I bought one for my garden and was pleasantly surprised at the brightness, so ordered another one as my garden is fairly large. This one was faulty, but upon ringing them, they sent another one out the same day! Great service and once the solar panels have charged up the lights, my garden with be protected. Let's hope they stand up to the winter well. By Jennifer Wright

Excellent light Really easy to install, feels very robust too. Does exactly what it needs to do. Would definitely recommend this! Also came a lot sooner then I expected. Good price too. Very happy with this product! By Sam

A good buy This is robustly made and works well. I can't believe it's really the equivalent of a 100w bulb, but it gives a good light and was easy to install and adjust. Much better than what I've seen in B&Q. By Dominic Batten

Evo Security Light The first light had the mounting bolts cross threaded, the glue on connecting tube from the light to the sensor did not take. Contacted The Company and they immediately sent out a replacement, however the ball joint on the Solar Panel was loose and unable the position the Solar Panel without it falling down. Used the Solar Panel from the first light, so I have made one working light from 2. I am not impressed by the quality control on these products but impressed by the responce of the Company By Peter

Small but powerful Been looking to get a decent solar light for the garden and recently bought an EVO. Very impressed with service, more impressed with the light. Nice warm light which is great as won't disturb neighbours but still gives plenty illumination By David Woodcock
