Rural Solar Lighting Kit 30W

Vysal's professional Rural Solar Lighting Kit 30W is ideal for illuminating the stable, yard, tack room, field shelter or lock-up store in livery situations. Plus ........ many other agricultural and equestrian applications in locations where mains quality lighting is required but no mains power supply exists.

It uniquely provides a proven year-round performance using up to 3 x 11W 12V CFL low-energy fluorescent lamps (equivalent to a 3 x 60W GLS lamp) housed in robustly constructed, weatherproof bulkhead light fitting. NB the bulkhead fitting suplied may differ from that shown in the image below).

Imagine the luxury of all the light that you need when you have to feed, muck out and rug up every morning and evening during the cold, dark months of winter.

The 30W Kit enables you to use your lighting for almost three times longer than the 10W Kit and has power to spare. You can easily run a 15W CFL light or run 3 x 11W CFL lights for 55 minutes a day during December and still not run your battery flat.

The Rural Solar Lighting Kit 30W comes with a pre-connected wiring harness so can easily and safely be installed by anyone in about 1 ½ hours " no special tools required " following the comprehensive fitting instructions provided. We fit the connectors, crocodile clips, fuses and all the connector terminals in our factory so that installation is very straightforward for you. Then, it is simply a question of preparing the cables and inserting the ends into the connector blocks.

An added benefit is that you can move to another stable and take your Equestrian Lighting Kit 28W with you as it isn’t permanently wired to a mains supply.


The Rural Solar Lighting Kit 30W is designed for safety and practicality. The lamp is enclosed in a tough, bulkhead luminaire to prevent any possibility of broken glass from the lamp if your horse rears up. The rugged light switch is designed to withstand the tough stable environment. Both luminaire and light switch are weatherproof to IP54 rating and can be used outside if required.

The length of time that you can use the light each day without running the battery flat depends upon the solar energy available. There is much less energy available in the winter when you most need the lighting. December has least solar radiation so is the critical month. Please refer to the table below to see how long you can use the light for each month (on average) without running the battery flat.

The Rural Solar Lighting Kit 30W has a 10 year warranty and will easily pay back its investment many times over.

Required but NOT supplied:

We recommend that you purchase a 12V car or caravan deep cycle battery with a capacity of at least 75Ak~85Ah so that you can be certain that you will always have enough light available. A battery of this type is available from most motoring / caravanning shops.

The Numax sealed leisure 110 12V 80 Ah battery costing £71.99 is ideal and can be purchased from - click here

If, over the course of a month, you use more energy than the solar panels generate you can take the battery home and give it an overnight boost using a car battery charger.

For the technically minded:

A charge controller is not required when a 10W solar panel is used with a 75Ah battery as the unregulated charge current cannot damage the battery. However, an 30W solar panel produces much more current and thus requires a 6 Amp charge controller to be fitted into the circuit.

Optional accessories to order separately:

You can add a further light to your system if you want to. You might like to consider purchasing the ajustable wall mounting bracket for the solar panel:
