5,000 Lumens from a 40W Solar Floodlight
The floodlight provides a maximum output of 5,000 lumens from a 40W LED light source, with a 6000K daylight-white appearance.
The 5,000-lumen figure applies at full brightness. Actual light output during operation depends on the selected intensity and motion-sensor programme.
For projects requiring background illumination as well as additional light during activity, the floodlight can combine a reduced holding level with motion-activated full output.
Selectable Brightness – 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%
The supplied remote control allows the light intensity to be selected at 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.
This provides flexibility to balance the required illumination with battery use. Lower settings can be selected where full output is not required, while the 100% setting provides the maximum available brightness.
The selectable brightness levels are separate from the motion sensor's choice of Off or 30% holding light between detections.
Microwave Motion-Sensor Operation
The floodlight incorporates a microwave motion sensor that can be enabled or disabled according to the intended use.
When the sensor is enabled, two holding-state options are available.
30% Holding Light to 100% on Movement
The floodlight provides a 30% holding-light level while the area is quiet.
When movement is detected, the light increases to 100% output. After 60 seconds without further detected activity, it returns to the reduced holding level.
This setting provides background illumination between motion detections, with increased brightness during activity.
Off to 100% on Movement
The floodlight remains completely off between detections and switches to 100% output when movement is detected.
After 60 seconds without further detected activity, the light switches off again.
This provides an alternative where illumination is only required when the sensor detects movement.
Motion Sensor Disabled
The motion sensor can be disabled where motion-activated changes in brightness are not required. The selectable brightness and timer functions provide additional ways to configure the lighting around the application.
Automatic Timer with Daily Memory
The timer can be programmed to switch the floodlight off 4, 6 or 12 hours after it automatically activates at dusk.
The system remembers the selected setting and repeats the cycle automatically each day, avoiding the need to reprogramme the operating period every evening.
This allows the lighting programme to be selected around the hours when the area is normally used.
Separate 50W Monocrystalline Solar Panel
The system includes a 10V / 50W monocrystalline solar panel, connected to the floodlight using the supplied 4.5m cable.
The separate-panel design allows the solar collection position to be considered independently from the direction in which the floodlight is aimed, within the available cable length and mounting arrangement.
Position the panel with good exposure to sunlight and minimal shading, while directing the floodlight towards the area requiring illumination.
The solar panel measures 400mm high × 670mm wide × 20mm deep.
Replaceable LiFePO4 Battery
The system uses a 6.4V / 24Ah LiFePO4 rechargeable battery, equivalent to 24,000mAh.
The battery stores energy collected by the solar panel for use during the lighting programme. It is replaceable, allowing battery replacement to be considered separately from replacement of the complete floodlight system.
Contact Wydels when a replacement is required so the correct compatible battery can be identified.
Installation & Positioning
The standalone system can be considered for installation on a suitable wall, structure or existing lighting-column arrangement, subject to selecting the correct mounting hardware and fixings.
Both the floodlight and solar panel need to be securely supported. Confirm the suitability of the mounting surface, brackets and fixing arrangement before installation.
The 4.5m connecting cable provides flexibility when positioning the two components. Allow sufficient length for the actual cable route and connections rather than measuring only the straight-line distance between the panel and floodlight.
The floodlight measures 350mm high × 250mm wide × 50mm deep. Consider the proposed aiming direction and motion-detection area alongside the solar panel's exposure.
Installation is not included. For a new column-mounted installation, choose the complete package rather than the standalone product.
IP65-Rated Floodlight & Solar Panel
Both the solar floodlight and separate solar panel are IP65 rated for exterior use.
The complete installation should follow the supplied product instructions, including the mounting arrangement, connecting cable and electrical connections between the solar components.
