Pro Solar – Super Bright 6W LED Solar Sign Light / Wall Light
The Signa is perfect for businesses looking to ensure their signage remains visible at dusk. Installation is simple with versatile surface mounting. It is a durable, IP65, high output solar sign light, producing up to 720 lumens. This 6W solar light incorporates long life LEDs in cool white (5000K), the perfect colour temperature to compliment signage. 45 LED chips are encased in a frosted, polycarbonate lens. Each LED chip is surrounded by a convex dome to focus the light projection. Alongside the Elite LEDs, designed to last for up to 50,000 hours, are the reliable monocrystalline solar panel and replaceable LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Phosphate Batteries. These are also expected to last many years.
This adjustable solar sign light also doubles up as a multipurpose solar wall light. It is perfect for illuminating signs / billboards, as well as above doorways in darker evenings or as a wall wash. This is due to it’s sleek design and downwards projection. Alternatively, these solar downlights will create dramatic, decorative lighting effects on walls and fences.
The solar sign light benefits from an on/off button located at the back of the fitting for storage. The remote control allows for choice between 4hr, 6hr, 8hr, 10hr and ‘dusk to dawn’ timer modes, as well as brightness adjustment.
MOUNTING
The sturdy, 3mm thick, multiway mounting brackets allow various mounting options. Two separate 180mm L shaped mounting arms attach to the luminaire via M5 stainless steel socket screws, and in turn to the front of the mounting surface. Additional mounting plates are also provided. They act as a riser for clearing graphics and allowing mounting from behind a sign, so as not to interfere with frontal graphics. Alternatively, use as an additional mounting support.
There are 3 mounting positions on the 180mm L shaped mounting arms in 27mm increments (centre to centre). As a result, the projection of light is adjustable; either a snug fit to the surface for a more focused beam, or further away for a more broad beam. One Signa will illuminate a sign up to 1.2m width. Mounted 500-550mm apart, the Signa creates a continuous pool of light across the surface. This is ideal for covering larger signs and walls with the perfect cross section.
CHARGING INFORMATION
The Signa LED Solar Sign Light will be fully charged with 6-8 hours of full sunshine, resulting in the illumination of signs during darker evenings, This is especially important in winter when darkness draws in during usual business hours, as early as 4pm. The shape of the Signa doubles the size of the solar panel compared to the LED strip for optimum charging.
Following a gradual dimming sequence, from 100% down to 30% brightness, a full capacity battery produces up to 23 hours illumination time (2-3 nights with no further charge). Naturally the battery will re-charge every day in sunlight so will extend illumination with an almost indefinite supply of power. During prolonged, dull weather periods, namely in winter, illumination time will decrease, timing dependent on the amount of charge received in daytime. Although, the Signa will usually continue to illuminate every evening for a number of hours.
Solar lighting – the time is now!
The current proactive drive to save our planet is positive and important. Solar energy is one of the World’s most innovative renewable power sources. It uses no power from the grid, just the sun to charge rechargeable batteries during the day, stored to be used at night. Subsequently, other benefits are clear, with no running and installation costs or ongoing maintenance.
Solar is the perfect solution to illuminating areas where hard wiring is not possible. Most importantly, solar is better for the environment. Solar sign lights use a natural, clean, renewable energy source – the sun.

Light Pollution & Colour Temperature
Reducing light pollution is crucial for protecting wildlife, preserving natural ecosystems, and maintaining our ability to stargaze. Always try to use the minimal light output required for your application, rather than unnecessarily excessive outputs. Excessive artificial light disrupts the behavior of nocturnal animals, including bats, which rely on darkness for feeding and navigation. Our “bat-friendly” lights are specifically designed to minimise light spill and reduce disturbances to bat habitats. By using these lights, we can provide safer environments for wildlife while ensuring outdoor spaces remain well-lit and functional.
Warmer colour temperatures have a less disruptive impact on wildlife and help reduce star-warping. For instance, bats are less affected by red-toned lights, which produce orange or yellow hues, compared to cooler, daylight white or blue lights higher in the spectrum. Blue light, being the most harmful for light pollution, should be minimised. The best solution is to use colour temperatures of 3000K or lower, with 2700K often referred to as “bat-friendly” lighting.

Battery Retention & Charging
Battery retention in solar products is crucial for ensuring reliable performance over time. High-quality batteries, such as LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and Lithium-ion, maintain their charge capacity for longer, even with repeated charging cycles. While Ni-MH batteries are suitable for certain applications, they generally do not match the longevity and efficiency of LiFePO4 or Lithium-ion in solar setups. This is often reflected in the price. Proper battery management, like avoiding overcharging, deep discharging, or storing for long periods, will extend battery life. In addition, high-quality solar panels, such as monocrystalline or polycrystalline, perform well in the UK. The larger the panel surface area, the faster the battery will charge. Lumena have incorporated UK-specific dimming sequences into many solar bollard designs to reduce light output throughout the night when less light is required. As a result, this helps to retain battery charge for longer, as do motion sensors. Regular maintenance and choosing products with quality solar technology are key to maximising retention and longevity.
Remote Controls
Remotes are beneficial for solar lights for several reasons:
- Customisable Settings: With a remote, users can adjust settings such as brightness, lighting modes, or activation times to suit specific needs. This includes dimming the lights, timers or turning them off manually.
- Energy Efficiency: By adjusting settings via remote control, battery usage is reduced, thus retaining charge for longer. Dimming, time control and manual override all help to extend the life of the rechargeable battery.
- Enhanced Control: For installations with multiple solar luminaires, a remote allows users to adjust settings for each individual unit based on install location and requirements, rather than all functioning in exactly the same way.
Overall, remotes add practicality, energy savings, and ease of operation to solar lighting systems.
Automation – Light & Motion Sensors
Light sensors are devices that detect and respond to changes in light levels in their environment. These sensors are useful in automating various systems, helping to optimise energy use and improve safety. Dusk-to-dawn sensors, for example, automatically turn lights on at sunset and off at sunrise, ensuring lights are only used when necessary. Motion sensors detect movement, triggering lights to turn on when activity is detected, providing convenience and enhancing security. Both types of sensors are commonly used in outdoor lighting systems to save energy and increase efficiency.
TIMERS – Time controls are useful for automating the operation of luminaires, ensuring they run only when needed, which boosts energy efficiency. They also offer convenience by removing the need for manual intervention, while enhancing security by simulating activity, deterring potential intruders. Overall, they help optimise energy use and preserve equipment.
PHOTOCELL / DUSK TO DAWN – A PC (Photo Control) or Dusk-to-Dawn sensor automatically turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn, using natural light levels to detect the time of day. This sensor is ideal for outdoor lighting, as it ensures lights are only activated when needed, improving energy efficiency and convenience. Dusk-to-Dawn solar light often incorporate dimming sequences to help prolong battery life and reduce light output at times of reduced footfall.
PHOTO-RECEPTOR – A photo-receptor in lighting is a more general term for any light-sensitive element that detects light levels and converts them into an electrical signal. It can be used in various lighting control systems, particularly in solar lighting.
PIR MOTION SENSOR – A PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects motion by sensing changes in infrared radiation, typically emitted by human bodies or animals. It is a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to automatically activate lighting when motion is detected, ensuring lights are only on when needed. PIR sensors help save energy, reduce unnecessary lighting, and improve security by providing illumination when movement is sensed in a given area.
MICROWAVE MOTION SENSOR – A microwave sensor uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to detect motion, even through walls or obstructions, by measuring changes in the reflected waves caused by movement. It is highly sensitive and can detect smaller movements, making it ideal for areas where precise motion detection is needed. Microwave sensors are great for enhancing security and energy efficiency, as they activate lights or alarms only when movement is detected, reducing energy waste.
