Standard Lighting Kit 18W with 1 x 9W Luminaire c/w lamp

Also available with an adjustable wall mounting bracket at extra cost.

The 18W Standard Lighting Kit with 12V Bulkhead luminaire c/w 9W CFL lamp has everything required (except the battery) to illuminate remote areas where no mains power exists. The 1 x 9W CFL lamp provides mains quality lighting equivalent to a 1 x 45W incandescent lamp.

The high performance 18W solar panel generates energy during daylight hours and stores it in a 12V car or caravan battery for use during the hours of darkness.

Bright sunlight is not necessary for charging to occur - the system will work even with overcast day time conditions, both in summer and winter.

The 18W solar panel will collect enough energy during the day to power the 9W CFL for more than 7 hours a day during summer months and nearly 87 minutes a day during December (an average of 4.9 hours a day). Please refer to the table below to see how long you can use the light for each day (on average) without running the battery flat.

The basic 18W Standard Lighting Kit is supplied with 4 x plastic brackets & nylon ties for fixing the solar panel to the mounting surface. A better (but more expensive) option is to specify the 18W Standard Lighting Kit complete with Wall Bracket for 18W solar panel (Fixed 36° and adjustable 45°) as standard.

Exempt from Part P of the Building Regulations and can safely be installed by anyone. No technical knowledge required. Everything is pre-wired for absolute simplicity of installation. Fully detailed installation leaflet with photographs provided.

The 18W Standard Lighting Kit has a 10 year warranty and will easily pay back its investment many times over.
