Product Information
Full details
The Storm Trading Group 50-Lumen Solar Shed Light is an ideal lighting solution for homeowners and hobbyists who need reliable, grid-free illumination for enclosed spaces like sheds, workshops, and garages. By harnessing solar energy through an external panel, it provides a cost-effective way to brighten dim areas, though it is best suited for small spaces due to its modest lumen output and reliance on direct sunlight for charging.

FAQs
Can I use this light inside a completely dark shed?
Yes, the system is designed specifically for this. The solar panel collects energy outside while the light unit illuminates the interior.
Does the light need batteries?
No, the unit uses an internal rechargeable battery charged by the solar panel.
How long is the cable?
The connecting cable is 3 metres long, providing ample reach for most standard shed configurations.
Is the light waterproof?
The solar panel is waterproof for outdoor mounting; however, the light unit itself is intended for indoor sheltered use.
Can I extend the cable?
It is not recommended to extend the cable, as this can cause voltage drops that reduce the efficiency of the charging process.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on when pulled
Ensure the solar panel is correctly connected to the light unit and that it has had at least one full day of direct sunlight to charge.
Light is dim
Clean the solar panel of any dirt or bird droppings and confirm it is not shaded by nearby trees or building overhangs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. Mount the solar panel in a location that receives consistent direct sunlight using the provided hardware. Route the 3-metre cable through a wall gap or drilled hole into your shed or garage, then mount the light unit to the ceiling or wall structure. No complex wiring is required.
Care instructions are minimal: keep the solar panel surface free of dust, leaves, and debris to ensure efficient energy collection. Wipe the light unit with a dry cloth periodically. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the plastic casing to prevent premature degradation.
