3. Solar panel power
Because the Astron64 Solar Security Light only comes on when it detects motion, it doesn’t need a solar panel as big as the solar panel that comes with the Astron Solar Floodlight. The solar panel that comes with the Astron Solar Floodlight is 4 times larger than the solar panel that comes with the Astron64 Solar Security Light.

I bought one of these but the remote control stopped working and now I've lost it. Where can I get a new remote control? Thanks.

Answer:
We haven't stocked this light for some time and don't have any spare remotes. The best thing I can suggest is to try replacing the battery in the remote you have there.
