Full details
The Streetwize Solar Guardian 800 is an ideal security lighting solution for homeowners looking to enhance outdoor visibility without the complexity of mains wiring. It provides powerful, 800-lumen illumination powered entirely by the sun, making it both an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for gardens, driveways, and pathways. While its solar-dependent operation offers independence from electrical grids, users should ensure the unit is placed in a location with ample direct sunlight to maintain optimal battery performance throughout the night.

FAQs
Does this light require a mains electrical connection?
No, the Streetwize Solar Guardian 800 is entirely solar-powered and operates independently of the mains.
How long does the battery take to charge?
Charging time depends on the intensity of sunlight; typically, a full day of direct exposure is required for optimal evening performance.
Can I install this in a shaded area?
It is not recommended. For reliable operation, the solar panel requires direct sunlight to keep the internal battery charged.
What is the detection range of the PIR sensor?
The PIR motion sensor can detect movement within a range of 5 to 8 metres.
Is the light waterproof?
The unit features weather-resistant construction designed to withstand typical outdoor environmental conditions.
What should I do if the light is dim?
Ensure the solar panel is clean and that it is not covered by leaves or debris. If the issue persists, the battery may need more hours of direct sun.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night
Verify the unit is switched on and that the solar panel has received sufficient direct sunlight during the day.
Motion sensor is not triggering
Ensure the sensor window is not obstructed by dirt or debris and check that the movement is within the 5-8 metre detection range.
Light turns off too quickly
This is often caused by a low battery charge; move the unit to a sunnier location to allow the battery to reach full capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the unit's lightweight construction. Use the included mounting hardware to secure the light to a flat surface such as a wall or fence post. Compatibility is high for outdoor environments; however, ensure the chosen location is not obstructed by shadows from trees or eaves. To maintain the light, occasionally wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, bird droppings, or debris, as a dirty panel will significantly reduce charging efficiency. If the unit is not used for an extended period, it is recommended to turn it off to preserve battery health.
