Question:

What mAh are the batteries in this unit? If replacing them, can I replace them with ones with a higher mAh, which should help the charge last longer (as I have with other solar lights)?

The batteries can be higher/lower in mAh it is the voltage (1.2v) that needs to be the same.

Question:

The lights are great but only come on when very very dark. Ideally, would prefer them to come on at dusk as described. Is there a way of doing this?
By Natalie on Jun 14,2020

Answer:

If you change the angle of the 2nd solar panel to face east it's likely the lights will come on earlier in the evening.

Is there any warranty? Is it work in winter time?

Question:

Is the only difference between these and the version you are selling with PR the PR? Are the the same but without the PR? What is the Lumen output in power saving and what in non-saving mode? Thanks
By Graham Oram on Sep 17,2019

Answer:

The PIR version is more than 3 times brighter as the light is only when movement is detected. PIR version is 50 Lumens vs 16 Lumens for the non PIR. Power saving mode basically halves the output.

Question:

Please can you tell me the dimensions.
By Audrey on Nov 25,2017

Question:

The Kodiak reportedly has 16 lumens. Can you tell me does the London XT have the same output? If not, what is it? I understand that the Kodiak has the edge technology which benefits its performance in winter time. However, this is not the time of year when illumination is so important to me. Thank you in anticipation of your reply.
By Malcolm Latter on Jan 30,2017

Answer:

The London XT's are rated at 12 Lumens.

Question:

Can you please confirm the colour temperature of the light output - i.e. Is it 'cool' white or 'warm' white? Thanks!
By Steve on Sep 18,2016

Answer:

The Kodiak's colour temperature is natural white, so in between cool and warm white.

Question:

One question asked how to fit onto metal gate posts but your answer was that they came with a spike so you couldn't say how to fit them. The fitting instructions on your web page refers to deck installation and says remove the black base, fit to decking and replace the unit. Is this correct as I would also want to install onto decking.
By Jim Walkden on Aug 2,2016

Answer:

Yes, they can be screwed down to decking or any hard surface with an area of at least 80 x 80 mm.

Question:

Do these lights have a metal or plastic spike? I am trying to decided between these and the London XT. Please explain the main benefits for each.
By David on Jul 31,2016

Answer:

The Kodiaks have a robust plastic spike, we've had no breakages to date. Both sets of lights are very good and both feature Powersaving™. The Kodiaks benefit from Edge Technology™ which doubles the effective solar panel area. The London's have classic styling and solid metal spikes. More often than not it comes to a style preference however the Kodiak's will edge the winter performance as the solar panel can be angled to capture more light when the sun is low in the sky.

Question:

I wish to buy two solar lights to fit on top of my black steel gate posts 8cm x 8cm. So what are the measurements of these lights other than 41cm tall and how would you secure them to the top of a post?
By Jeff Travis on Oct 27,2015

Answer:

It is 80mm x 80mm so you could screw these down onto steel gate posts.

Question:

How tall are these lights as the details aren't that detailed
By Alex on Oct 16,2015

Answer:

They are approx. 41cm
