Solar sensor lights pair free solar power with motion detection for wire-free security and convenience. They charge by day and trigger bright light the moment movement is detected at night — no electrician, no trenching and no running costs. The Lighting Outlet stocks only trusted solar brands built to handle New Zealand conditions.
How far can a solar sensor light detect motion? Most detect movement from around 5–12 metres, depending on the model and mounting height.
Do they stay on all night or only when triggered? Many offer both — a low ambient glow all night that boosts to full brightness when motion is detected, which also conserves battery.
Will a solar sensor light work on a shaded wall? The light can go in shade if you choose a model with a separate solar panel, which you mount where it gets direct sun.
Are solar sensor lights bright enough for security? Yes — choose a 300+ lumen model (security floods go far higher) for effective deterrence.
