Frequently Asked Questions - Eco Wedge Elite Remote Control Solar Light With PIR

Hello, 

It sounds like the light is set to Mode 3 (red indicator light on). Please switch to mode 1 or 2 if you would prefer the light to be exclusively motion activated. 

Hello, 

You would have to use Mode 3 (red indicator light on) in order to make the light turn on and off at will, however please note this makes the light run at medium brightness. Mode 3 means that ater dusk the lamp illuminates at medium brightness and turns off after it runs out of charge or 10 hours, whatever comes sooner.

I would strongly recommend that due to the integrated panel that this should really go on a south facing wall if possible or one that receives direct sunlight for a good portion of the day. 

Hello, there is a charging light - It states:

Charge Indicator Lights

After pressing the ON button on the remote, during the day, you should see the yellow micro LEDs to the bottom left of the diffuser lit up to indicate charging is taking place. 

HI Gill, Lights in the south facing position would recieve the best charge. Just to check if the lights need to be repositioned. We would suggest to sewitch the light off for 3 to 5 days but please them in a position that would have lots of sun and turn them on. This way it will be clear if there is a fault with the light or its location 

Hi David, All our lights have a 12 month warranty 

Hi Richard, There is no recommended distance I guess a couple meter will be safe for any extra moisture 

Hi Julie,

Thank you for your question. When you receive your light, please charge your light up and switch the light on by the button. You will then be able to use your remote from then on.

All our lights have batteries in them so they are solar powered as well battery powered.

So any motion detected including heat in the distance of 10 metres will come on, this is included your car coming into the driveway it will turn on.

Hi Keith. The angle is approximately 120 degrees and can detect motion from up to 10 metres away.

Hi Ray.

Thank you for your question. Yes, this light can be mounted on a wall. The remote that comes with this light has a range of 8 metres.

Hi Riccione. The batteries in this unit cannot be replaced. If you are having issues, please contact our customer service team, who will be more than willing to assist.

Hi Marian. The batteries in this unit cannot be replaced. If you are having issues, please contact our customer service team, who will be more than willing to assist.

Hi Sorin. The batteries in these units cannot be changed or upgraded. I would suggest looking at one of our more powerful security lights.

Hi Jacqui. Yes, the light reach will light up to 2.5 metres away.

Yes, the remote will work all the units. 

We do not recommend any of our lights to be installed behind glass. The UV protection on the glass will stop any meaningful charge to the light. 

Hi Karen. As this light is a solar light, it will require direct sunlight on the solar panel for the batteries to charge. Your light will not charge correctly behind a glass panel.

It has white led bulbs. 

We do recommend testing the light on the location that you wish to place it, prior to going through installation. 

We do not have a recommended spacing between lights, this is all down to personal preference. The higher the unit the PIR will pick up from a different point. 

the motion detection on the Wedge Elite is 120 degrees 

We do not recommend this.

We would not recommend installing the light in the situation you have described, the light is screwed to the wall. 

This is not something we can advise as we do not know the set up, as you have purchased one, just test it above and below to see what gives you the result you would like. 

The motion detection cannot be overidden. 

This is a natural white 

You can use the remote control in order to turn the light on/off on demand. 

The Elite is brighter. 

This light is 1000 Lumens. It covers a distance of 3 parking spaces approximately. It would be best to test the light on the location prior to installing it to make sure that the position is right for your needs. 

There are different modes, one is where it is on for an hlour, but it is primarily a security light. 

You can use: 

Mode 4 (yellow, blue and red indicator lights on)
After dusk the lamp illuminates at medium brightness. It switches to Mode 2 after the battery level drops below 60%. If the battery level is below 60% when selecting Mode 4, then the lamp will automatically switch to Mode 2.

It would not be constantly on. 

The only mode you would be be able to use is the one hour mode, the rest are motion activated. So I would maybe look at our EVO SMD remote control flood light here

Yes, one remote can be used on all the lights. 

Detects motion up to 10 metres away so any movement within that range facing the pir will trigger the light.

Infrared remote control included with up to 8m range

The lights are designed to be installed flat on a vertical wall. We had one issue where the customer had installed them upside down which the light is not designed for, the panel wouldn't get enough light and water resistance is not designed to be upside down either. You will not have any issues installing the light panel up on a vertical wall. 

Mode 2 (blue indicator light on)
When motion is detected after dusk the lamp activates at full brightness and turns off approx 15 seconds after motion stops. Recommended for Winter use or if the light is installed in a substandard location.

It depends on how much light spread you need and the detection area needed. Generally, security lights are installed around 1.8-2.5m off the ground.

The solar panel is built into to the wedge at the top. The Elite comes with 5 modes, in winter months we would suggest using the PIR only mode. For East vs West we would suggest test in each location before fully installing. It's amazing how much just 1 meter difference in location can make to how much charge is received. 

Approximately 120 degrees and 10m in distance.  

That is correct. Off will also put it in charge only mode. 

A remote will operate any of the lights and is not paired with just one. 

Yes, you can use it as an on/off light. The light has 5 modes. Mode 3 (red indicator light on) After dusk the lamp illuminates at medium brightness and turns off after it runs out of charge or 10 hours, whatever comes sooner.

500 Lumens.

The detection range is up to 10 metres away so we would recommend no more than 4 metres for optimal lighting and detection.   

Yes, you can do this with the remote.

We've never had a report of anyone doing this with any of the slide on products we've sold for 10 years now. If you're concerned your location may be particularly vulnerable you could simply install one addition screw above the light that you screw in after installation.

The battery can not be changed simply but it is possible and isn't recommended. The light comes with a 12month warranty and we had not batteries issue yet on this product. We'd expect 5+ years (we have many 10yr old lights still going) We are looking into a service to offer this in the future.

It sounds like the screws aren't dropping down into the small hole in the back. Have a look at the instructions here you'll see the big hole will take the screw head and it will drop down in the slot and be secure. Hope this helps.

The Evo SMD Pro or Elite are the most comparable lights in terms of brightness, with a warm white light output.

The PIR cannot be adjusted. The Evo SMD Pro or Elite are the most comparable brightness PIR lamps with adjustable PIRs.

A substandard location would include a north facing wall or a heavily shaded location. With normal domestic use (a few activations a night) it would probably be OK on a north facing wall but you may need to move it temporarily to a sunny spot to top up the charge as required. Alternatively it may be worth considering a security light with a remote panel.

The remote is infrared like a TV remote but will work up to 8m away. As with a TV remote, you need to point it in the general direction for it to work so you might be able to use the remote from within your house assuming the light is not around a corner.
