Durasol 12v Solar Lighting System
The Durasol 12v solar lighting system is an all-year-round, rechargeable power source for 12v outdoor lights. This low voltage kit includes a solar panel, battery and remote controller, as an all-in-one unit. A VERSA 2 pin connector makes the Durasol highly versatile. Simply plug the connector into VERSA connectors, splitters and lights for a hassle-free installation, without the need for hard wiring. Either secure the Durasol to walls and fences using the wall mount bracket, or leave free standing on lawns and planters using the A-frame mount.
The Durasol powers up to 30W of garden lights for up to 12 hours with as little as 4 hours charging time. Position the monocrystalline solar panel in a sunny, south facing spot for the best charging performance. Being solar-powered, the Durasol is totally off-grid, ideal for areas where mains power isn’t an option. The 12v solar system is both durable and highly weatherproof with an IP65 rating. 3m of 2 core cable is supplied with a 2 pin VERSA connector at the end.
The multi-function remote control offers 4 timer modes: 4hr, 6hr, 8hr & 10hr. Each mode automatically begins at dusk unless manually overridden.

Garden Lighting Made Easy!
Lumena offer a large range of high end 12v Plug and Play lighting and accessories making it very simple and easy for quick DIY installation. Low voltage lighting is particularly suited to outdoor environments because it tolerates the damp conditions without performance being affected. Anything required underwater should also be low voltage as it is much safer.
When it comes to connections, there are multiple cables and adaptors which are suitable for various 12v plug and play lighting systems. Lumena’s Versa plug & play system is compatible with a number of brands such as Techmar. Cables are available in various length in various combinations of plug & play and open end. In addition, 3 way and 6 way connectors make it very simple for connecting components and fittings to just one transformer.
12v lightings requires a transformer in order for these to be powered. A transformer converts 240v mains down to 12v low voltage. We stock various wattage transformers (10w, 20w, 50w and 100w). Calculate which size transformer is required for a circuit following this simple formula:
Lamp Wattage x Lamp Quantity = Total Wattage Required (minimum)
Example: 5W MR16 x 3 fittings = 15WÂ Â (20W transformer required)
You must never exceed the wattage of a transformer, and avoid underloading. The ideal capacity is 75-90% load.
12v Lighting Set-up Example
12v lighting circuits can use a combination of plug and play and hard wired components. Versa Plug & play is simple with various compatible adaptors, cables and transformers available. Easily convert plug and play to hard wired with our plug & play to open ended cable. Standard junction boxes and in-line connectors can then be used to connect the two systems together.
