Pro Solar Heliosol

Slimline High Output Solar Flood Lights with Remote Control

Switch between various functions with the long range remote control (see image below), adjusting settings from up to 12m away. Choose from 2hr, 4hr and 6hr timers, dusk to dawn. In addition, adjust the light output from full brightness to 20% brightness when less light is required, as well as override on and off. Due to the memory function, the setting selected will continue each night.

Solar Floodlight Technology

The solar panel is separate to the flood light, connected via the 2m length of plug & play cable. Extend the cable length further with a 4m extension cable. As a result, the solar panel can be situated away from the light source; ideally south facing with no obstructions. The light itself can then remain in a shaded position. Therefore, the solar floodlight is a great solution to uplighting trees which is not possible with all in one solar lights due to shade. Another benefit is that the monocrystalline solar panels are much bigger as they are not restricted to the size of the floodlight. A larger panel will charge quicker and more effectively.

The long life, Lithium Ion batteries (LifePO4), have a lifespan of up to 8 years and retain charge well due to their high capacity. The charge retention is shown on the floodlight via the green and red display lights. As the battery is located in the back of the solar flood light, once charged, the floodlight will work as a temporary stand alone unit. The Heliosol will reach full charge after 4-6 hours of full sunshine. Then it will last for over up to 2 full nights. Even in dull weather, our professional solar lights continue to illuminate each night, although they may not last the entire night. It is recommended to use a short timer setting and 20% brightness to prolong battery life in long periods of poor weather, e.g. winter months.

The Future is Solar…

Solar energy is one of the world’s most innovative renewable power sources making a huge difference to the environment. The sun charges the rechargeable batteries during the day which is stored and used at night. There has been a really positive progression with solar technology and strongly believe now is the time to really push forward and make the change. Other benefits are clear for end users, with no running, installation or maintenance costs. There will always be areas which are difficult to illuminate, particularly due to wiring issues. Solar is the perfect solution.

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.

Light Intensity – Wattage VS Lumens

Wattage and lumens are often confused, but they measure different aspects of a light source. Wattage refers to the power consumption of the lamp, while lumens measure the brightness or intensity of the light. When it comes to solar, the referenced lumens output often refers to that of the bare LED, not the actual output of the luminaire. Various factors will affect the overall lumens output. These include: battery charge, polycarbonate lenses and diming sequences / modes. Ultimately, the lower the voltage powering the LED, the lower the actual lumens will be. Starting with a higher quality LED with high lumens output will increase the overall output. For more accurate lumens, refer to photometric data. The benefit of solar is that positioning can be experimented with prior to permanent installation to determine the best location, not just for output, but also charging.

It’s important to avoid over-lighting; always think about what you’re illuminating and the desired effect before finalising your LED selection. In many cases, “less is more”, making solar a great option.

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.

IP Ratings

An IP (Ingress Protection) Rating indicates how well an outdoor light fitting is protected against specific conditions. It consists of two numbers: the first indicates protection against solid objects like hands or dust, while the second shows protection against water. The numbers range from 0 to 6 for solids and 0 to 8 for liquids, with 0 being no protection. The highest rating is IP68, meaning the fitting is fully protected from both solids and liquids and can be submerged in water. For outdoor lights, a minimum IP rating of IP43 is recommended for adequate protection.
