Frequently Asked Questions - Atlas Solar Spotlights (Set Of 2)

Hello.

These lights have a special sensor in the panel which detects day and night so these lights will come on automatically at dusk and then turn off at dawn.

Hello,

Please see the link for the extension cable we sell for the atlas lights:

https://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk/products/Atlas_5M_Extension_Cable-894-5.html

Please log into your account (or register for one using the email address you used to make the purchase) and enter your order history. In your order history, you will have access to the "Spare Parts" tab, which will allow you to purchase a replacement panel.

I do not recommend charging this in a wall charger please as the battery cannot be removed. Please allow this to just charge for 3-5 days in as much direct sunlight as possible. Then please place this on the powersaving mode. 

The battery for the unit is situated in the panel, not in the individual heads. 

Hi, 

Yes. Both of the lights come with a 4.5m cable, which would make it a total of 9m if you were to place them on opposing ends of the fence. 

Good afternoon, 

The batteries in them last 2-3 years minimum.

Hi Michael. These lights do not come in more colours, they emit a warm white colour. We do have the Chiron, which is a spotlight with a green option. 

We do not advise modifying the kit, this will invalidate the warranty. 

It will be suitable. 

These lights would be suitable. You can also look at the Albany spotlight which is even more bright. 

I am afraid not. However, they come as a set of 4. Please click on this link:

The wire from the splitter to each spotlight is:
4.5m (450cm)

However, we also sell an extension cable if that is required: https://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk/products/Atlas_5M_Extension_Cable-894-5.html

Here are some options for single spotlights. They are not in the same range as the atlas spotlights but they are bright enough:

It is 50 Lumens for each spotlight. 

I am sorry to say that you cannot repair that. I am afraid that we do not sell spotlights individually. 

You can install them on your pergola instead. 

they are IP55

IP55

There are waterproof. 

LED 

The batteries are located inside the panel and cannot be replaced.

The sensor is in the panel.

The light sensor is in the panel, so if the room is dark, but it is light outside (where the panel should be) the lights will not come on until dusk. 

I am afraid not.

The light has a minimum expectancy of 2-3 years, however the lights are known to last longer than that. 

You can purchase separately an extention cable, which will be 5m long. 

We sell an extension cable. But that can only be used between the splitter and each spotlight.

I am afraid not. You can only extend the cable between the lights and the splitter. 

P is power saving, so if you see the letter P it will put the lights into the mode you want. 

It is IP55. 

Wire from splitter to each light head is 4.5m

We would not recommend burying them in the soil as when strimming or gardening you may go through them as it is possible to forget they were there. However if you wish to protect the wires maybe try to source some sort of plastic covering perhaps to place on top. 

The extension cable you need is here 

No the lights come in a set of either two or four lights.

Hi, they are Li Ion

These would be nice for an olive tree and they are warm white. 

Either, output of the Selenes is 90 Lumens vs 100 so the Atlas is brighter, both have a remote panel so it's more about the style of the light. The Atlas is a much small modern looking light compared with a larger and more classical looking light head of the Selenes. 

We would always recommend the panel being in as much direct sunlight as possible If the balcony is north facing then the panel will not be getting the light. You can always have them on the lowest powersaving setting. 

yes, that's correct

Sorry,, these only come in warm white at the moment. Maybe look at the Globes. 

We usually suggest they are left charging for 3-5 days switched off. 

No, this is not possible.

The Atlas are a warm white. As they are a different manufacturer we cannot guarentee they will match the exact colour of the Vega.

This would be fine in that climate, we sell these to most countries without issue. 

Most of our spotlights are dusk 'till dawn, so sadly do not have a timer function that can be adjusted. We usually say up to 5 hours in Winter and up to 10 hours in Summer. The only item with a timer is our Lumify range, this has a 7 hour timer and they are spotlights. 

Atlas come with a powersaving mode, so this should help them last longer over the Winter period. 

The battry cannot not be replaced, but the Atlas is fitted with long life rechargable batteries, these should last up to 4 years. 

These spotlights cannot be connected to a PIR and there is no remote control, just the switch on the panel to turn them on and off.

Hello, 

Sadly we do not do extention cables for the Altlas. Sorry!

Hello,

Sorry, we do not have a compatible extenstion cable at the moment. Sorry!

4.5m of cable between each light and the solar panel.

Screw mounting your lights: Use the supplied Allen key to remove the bracket from your light. If the stakes are connected to the brackets, please remove those first. Offer the brackets up to your intended locations, mark the holes and use the supplied screws and screw plugs to fix the brackets into location. Once the brackets are in place, please reconnect the lights to their brackets.

Yes, the lights have a cable to and from the solar panel. We have 2 spotlights without  cable you can see here, one called the Helios and the other called the Thea

Yes, the light head are sealed so you put have them facing up or down.

Yes, we do not recommend submerging the lights in water but near the water is fine.  

We currently do offer extension cable but will be soon.

100 lumens

The light is Warm White Light - (3000 kelvin) only.

Yes, these would work well the light up trees in the garden.

Please see updated sizing.

Each cable from the light to the panel is 4.5m so you could have the lights 9m apart.

Light head:
6cm Length
4cm Diameter

Light bracket:
4cm width 
6cm Length 

Ground spike:
16.5cm Length 

Solar panel:
17x19cm

Wire from panel to splitter:
58cm

Wire from splitter to light head:
4.5m (450cm)

Slide switch into on position: The lights will come on after dark in full brightness mode.

Slide switch into off position The lights will turn off. They will still charge, but they will not turn on unless you switch them back on.

Slide switch back into on position: The lights will come on after dark in Powersaving mode where reduced by 50%, but the lights will work for twice as long each night.

Slide switch into off position The lights will turn off. They will still charge, but they will not turn on unless you switch them back on.

Both need to be connected for it to work. Each light head is pretty small so grouping them next to each other could work really well for you.  

The powersaving mode halves the brightness which doubles the runtime. Perfect for winter months or poor panel location in the summer.
