The Luceco Solar Guardian Floodlight is a 3.2W wall light with an integrated Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor, designed for outdoor use. This device offers a blend of functional and ambient illumination, making it suitable for various exterior applications such as entrance areas, balconies, paths, and decorative garden lighting. Its robust construction ensures durability against impacts, and it boasts an IP44 rating, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashes of water from any direction. The floodlight is designed for easy and simple installation, requiring no wiring, which enhances its versatility and reduces installation complexity.
The Solar Guardian Floodlight operates autonomously, leveraging solar power to charge its internal lithium battery during the day and providing illumination when environmental brightness falls below 30 lux. It features both front and rear-facing LED technology, which contributes to its dual-purpose illumination capability. The front LEDs provide direct functional light, while the rear LEDs offer a softer, ambient glow.
The device incorporates a PIR sensor with a detection range of 2 to 6 meters and a 120° detection area. This sensor enables motion-activated lighting, enhancing security and convenience. The induction delay time is 1 second, meaning the light responds quickly to detected motion.
The floodlight offers three distinct working modes, selectable by pressing a power button, allowing users to tailor its operation to their specific needs:
MODE A: In this mode, the light automatically turns on at dusk (when ambient light is less than 30 lux) and provides a continuous illumination of 80 lumens. It remains on for up to 5 hours before turning off. This mode is ideal for consistent, low-level ambient lighting throughout the early evening.
MODE B: This mode is motion-activated. When motion is detected within the 6-meter range, the light automatically switches to full brightness (400 lumens). After 20 seconds of no motion, it returns to a standby night glow mode, where both the front and back LEDs remain dimly lit. This provides a balance between security lighting and continuous ambient illumination.
MODE C: Similar to Mode B, this mode is also motion-activated. Upon detecting motion within 6 meters, the light turns on to full brightness (400 lumens). However, after 30 seconds of no motion, the light turns completely OFF. This mode is energy-efficient, providing light only when needed, making it suitable for areas where continuous ambient light is not required.
The internal lithium battery is designed for long-lasting performance, with 6 hours of direct sunlight charging providing enough power for up to three nights of illumination, depending on the chosen mode and weather conditions.
The Solar Guardian Floodlight is designed for straightforward installation and user interaction.
Installation: The recommended installation method involves selecting a flat surface that receives direct sunlight to ensure optimal charging. Three 6mm holes need to be drilled, spaced 163mm apart, at a height of 2-4 meters from the ground. The included rawl plugs are inserted into these holes. A screw is then fixed into the lower expansion plug with a small gap, allowing the lamp to be inserted into the screw groove. Once the lamp is straightened, the two upper screws are tightened securely. After installation, switching the device on will cause the LEDs to illuminate briefly before settling into its normal operation mode.
Mode Selection: Users can easily cycle through the three working modes (A, B, and C) by repeatedly pressing the power button until the desired mode is activated. This flexibility allows for customization based on security needs, aesthetic preferences, or energy-saving goals.
Automatic Operation: The device's automatic dusk-to-dawn functionality (in Mode A) and motion-sensing capabilities (in Modes B and C) mean that once installed and configured, it operates without further manual intervention, providing convenience and peace of mind.
Versatile Application: Its no-wiring design and solar power make it highly adaptable for various outdoor locations where running electrical cables might be difficult or costly. It's an ideal solution for enhancing visibility and security in remote areas of a property or for simply adding decorative lighting to a garden.
The Solar Guardian Floodlight is designed for minimal maintenance, but some considerations are important to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
Battery Management: The product is equipped with an internal lithium battery that is not user-replaceable. This design choice emphasizes safety and product integrity. Users are advised not to attempt to replace the battery themselves and to dispose of the product responsibly at the end of its life, not with general household waste or by incineration.
Charging Optimization: To maintain full battery capacity and consistent lighting performance, it is crucial to ensure the solar panel receives adequate direct sunlight. If the illumination from the LEDs appears dimmed after a period, it indicates that the battery charge is low. In such cases, placing the Solar Guardian back in direct sunlight for 6 hours will fully recharge the battery, restoring the lights to full power. This highlights the importance of strategic placement during installation to maximize solar exposure.
Environmental Responsibility: Luceco emphasizes environmental protection. The product is marked with the "crossed-out wheelie bin symbol," indicating that it should not be disposed of with general household waste. Electrical/electronic products and batteries contain chemicals that can be harmful to health and the environment. Users are encouraged to dispose of these items through separate collection schemes that facilitate the recovery and recycling of contained materials. This commitment to responsible disposal helps minimize environmental impact.
Warranty and Support: The product comes with a 1-year standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship from the date of purchase. In case of a product failure within the warranty period, Luceco offers repair or replacement, provided the product is returned with proof of purchase and a return authorization number. This warranty does not cover damage due to improper handling, storage, accident, abuse, misuse, or unauthorized modifications. For non-UK customers, local Luceco offices should be contacted for specific requirements. Technical support lines are available for various regions, offering assistance with any operational or maintenance queries.
