How to choose a solar floodlight

Choose a solar floodlight by panel size, battery capacity, IP rating and realistic coverage, not by the largest watt number printed on the box. Inflated LED labels are common. For compounds, also decide between wall floodlights and pole-mounted street lights.

Checklist before you pay

Confirm IP65 or better for outdoor lamps, a separate panel when possible, and a seller who states warranty in writing. If the panel is tiny, the “300W” claim is marketing.
