3. Deneve Solar Flagpole Downlight

The Deneve Solar Flagpole Light is the only solar light on this list intended for flagpole illumination.

There are many people for whom it is important that they can illuminate their flag of choice from dusk until dawn and the Deneve flagpole illuminator is the best on the market.

It is intended for flagpoles that are fifteen to twenty feet tall and features space for a rod of half inch thickness at the top of the said flagpole to secure the illuminating light.

The cutting-edge sensor employed in this design will know automatically when the right time is to begin shining as the sun goes down; this detection is enabled by users simply ensuring that the light is activated (i.e. switched to “On”) prior to installation.

It is unfortunate that the decorative ball that is used to ensure the light is secure is not included with the light and this must be accepted as a drawback.

In this case, it may be necessary to buy it in order to properly ensure the security of the light depending on what your flagpole already has.

4. Sunforce Solar Motion Light

This motion detecting spotlight, which is sold as a single unit, is an excellent option for lighting up dark doorway areas, laneways, patios, gardens, stairways, or in and around car garages.

It has the wall mounting capability as it can be fixed to a wall using the two screws included with the purchase.

Of particular interest with this solar unit is the constant emittance of a dim light in the evening and when total darkness envelops the targeted area.

As an additional capability, it provides a far stronger light that is switched on via the motion detection system with a top range of around 20 feet away.

By saving energy and only emitting a stronger beam of light when necessary, it can more effectively use the stored solar energy it has absorbed during daylight hours.

This product has a great trade-off between emitting a dim light all of the time with low energy output and a stronger light triggered by motion detection which utilises more energy.

One of the main features of this slick product is the amorphous solar panel which has fifteen feet of wire as well as an eighty LED solar motion light and three AA batteries which are rechargeable and mounting capacity.

The casing is entirely weather resistant and is able to be mounted in almost any area of your property while the solar panel is capable of charging in all day conditions and does not require direct sunlight which is rather unique.

Pros & Benefits:

• Charges in low light conditions
• Motion detection
