Windsor Solar Wall Light

Only 3 hours run time - such a pity I have purchased several products over the last year from solar centre, these include 22 'paverlights' and 7 'Canterbury XT' wall lights These items have performed well, and to date (10th Sept 2015) they are all still capable of running until morning, even after several overcast/rainy days - so I had high hopes for my latest purchase - x2 Windsor wall lights. Sadly, although they look great, the run time after a full days charging is only about 3 hours (maybe 4hrs if sunny all day) Last night they came on at 8pm, but were both out before midnight - such a pity:( My other products as stated above (Paverlights and Canterbury XT) continue to light the entire night - so I have a good comparison and the Windsor wall lights with their short run time are a disappointment. Both these lights are in open aspects and are not in any shade at all - so I have little hope they will light for any time this coming winter, even on the 'winter saver' setting?. I feel the problem might be the fact that the Windsor lights have 4 LED lights (SMD's) in them and the solar panel perhaps just cannot cope with the power drain??. Whatever the reason, they do fall a bit short in performance (ironically, the Canterbury XT lights only have a single LED/SMD bulb and are brighter than the light I am reviewing and last entire night!) I would be interested to read other reviews later in the year regards run time as these are new on the market?. This has in no way put me off Solar Centre products - as my other purchases are first class and my 'paverlights' are amazing!!! By Alan Wallace

Superb Solar Lights! These were out of stock when I did an internet search, but they were just what I wanted, so I requested the Solarcentre to notify me when they were back in stock, and ordered one. It arrived very quickly and was well packaged, and despite the poor instructions I found it very simple to fix to my summerhouse. I was so pleased with the performance and excellent looks of the lamp that I ordered another one to fix to the brick wall outside my property, but found this very difficult owing to the necessity of locating the bolt-heads into the hexagonal fitting at the back of the circular fixing. Fine and easy for fixing on a flat (wooden) surface, but almost impossible on any other surface. The first lamp took me ten minutes to fit, the second one took over two hours! However, they are both working exceptionally well and look fantastic and I plan to fit several more of them around the property - on flat surfaces! By Neil David Atkin Reply from SolarCentre:

Thanks for your feedback, whilst we haven't had other reports of difficulties installing we'll make sure the fixings are discussed and improved in the future.

Windsor Solar Wall Light Beautiful lamp, easy to fix and runs from dusk till dawn on the 'energy saver' setting. Even with this reduced power the lamp is still bright enough to illuminate the whole of the wood store. Very happy with the lamp and also with Solar Centre's continuing excellent service. Thank you.

Perfect for Spain I bought three of these for a terrace in Spain. They are excellent quality and give a beautiful light. They have a classic look and fit very well in my old Cortijo but will also look great in a modern property. I am about to buy 3 more! By Janet

Windsor solar light This is the only solar light I saw on the Internet and in shops that I liked, was out of stock when I wanted to order so requested they email me when back in. I ordered it recently and was very happy with it. Came very quickly and piacked very well. Was reasonably easy to put up looks really good. The light is nice and cosy . Not used yet through the the winter so will depend on how the winter goes to see how it performs. The price is very good too x By Joan

Windsor solar wall light Great quality wall light with handy feature to reduce brightness to extend the run time. Just ordered another ! By Gary

She loves it The backplate fixing system is too complicated which makes getting it square is difficult. The nut are very small for old hands. Apart from those litle gripes we are very pleased with the light. Thank you By Mr Barnes
