Features a 12 month warranty as standard.

A well positioned solar panel will enable this product to work in typical UK winter conditions.

Brightness is equivalent to a 50 watt incandescent bulb as you might use in the home.

This light is solar powered and does not require mains power to work.
Searching for a tool in the shed in the dark can be a thing of the past with the Vortex Solar Shed Light. With easy installation, no running costs and no need to get an electrician in to run power to an outbuilding you'll be amazed how you coped without the light before.

How does it work?
The high powered solar panel charges the internal rechargeable batteries by day. When you require light press the button on the face of the light unit to turn it on.
The first push will turn all 36 LED bulbs on. Pushing again will operate the 24 outer LED bulbs only.
A third push will operate the inner 12 LED bulbs only. Another push will turn the light off.
Please note the more LED bulbs you have on the faster the batteries will drain.
How do I install it?
Using the supplied flat head screws and rawl plugs attach the U-bracket (C) to where you wish to mount the light. Please ensure that there is enough space to connect the solar panel cable into the side of the light unit.
Once the U-bracket is secure, attach the shed fixing bracket (A) into the centre of the light and then slide this into the U-bracket.
Finally, connect the cable from the Solar Panel into the socket on the side of the light unit and position the panel where it will receive the most amount of light.

IP44 Rated Please note that the Vortex is designed to charge by day and work at night so the unit will not operate if the panel is in daylight unless you unplug the solar panel.
This is OK for occasional use, but the unit will struggle to charge if it is regularly used during the day when it is supposed to be charging.

I am sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, these lights can only be purchased as a whole unit.
The light from a full charge should run up to 10 hours, however in winter, you might want to change the brightness level so that the product lasts longer throughout winter. You could probably expect up to 6 hours in wintertime.
Our products are designed and delivered in the UK but are manufactured in China.

Like all solar products this is very useful and effective item for the shed or garage. My only gripe would be that in a dark environment finding the switch in order to switch on the Vortex light is particularly difficult and could do with some sort of reflective tape or light in order to locate it.

Very happy with the light. Take your time to choose where to put the solar panel, and plan the route for the wiring. The fixing plate is adaptable to different locations. Super product.

Initial delivery of the light via DPD arrived as scheduled, but the charging panel was broken. Photo evidence was requested and sent and replacement received via Royal Mail in good condition. After charging, the light works satisfactorily, but has limited illumination and unfortunately won't function if the solar panel is receiving charge. OK therefore at night but not in the day when illumination is sometimes needed to see in the shed.
