"These lights are suitable for illuminating areas where there is no electricity, where it would be too difficult or too expensive to install an electric supply or where an environmentally friendly 'green' lighting source is required. Perfect for lighting up pathways, driveways, lanes and car parks the Installation is relatively simple and should take no longer than approximately 1-2 hours," added Mr. Thomas.

The auxiliary lamp can be set up to work according to local sunlight hours for advanced charging, discharging and lighting control circuit with reliable performance. No requirement to lay cables or wires and not for AC electric energy and charge. It uses DC power supply with photosensitive control. It is safe, reliable, energy saving, economical and protects the environment.

Practical one day charging may allow the light to be used for 3 to 7 days depending on configuration and model.
