Question 6

Can you confirm that these lights are made of stainless steel and are silver in appearance and not black as shown in this picture. Many thanks

Accepted Answer

Hello, These lights are stainless steel and are silver.

Question 7

I want to fix them into brickwork, do they come with the relevant fixings?

Accepted Answer

Hi,  The bases can be screwed into brick, however, we do not provide masonry screws with the lights.

Question 8

Hi, what reason would there be to need replacement tops for the London XT path lights? I can understand why the rechargeable batteries may require replacement but why the tops? I bought 3 sets of the path lights in Feb ‘22 and now 3 of the lights are not working. We've replaced the batteries and they still don't work. Would it mean we need to replace the tops? I would expect them to last longer than less than 2 years.

Accepted Answer

Hi Sarah, Thank you for your message, the reason we offer replacement tops would be due to the fact that natural weathering can affect the longevity and functionality of panel and electrical components, which cant always necessarily be addressed by replacing a battery.

Question 9

Hi can you buy replacement parts for the London xt? I need 4 light tops (the solar light panel) thanks

Accepted Answer

Hello, Thank you for your question. https://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk/products/XT_Power_Saving_Top_For_London_Canterbury_Durham-784-5.html Here is the link for the tops.

Question 10

I have purchase the london solar lights what does the P & S switch stand for I m guessing Power and Solar but probably wrong - I ve set them to P should they be on S? To work?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,  The S is a standard mode which is its full brightness and is advised to use in summer,  The P is a powersaving mode which dims the light to extend the runtime which is advised to use in winter.

Question 11

Are the batteries rechargeable?

Accepted Answer

Hiya,  They are rechargeable and replaceable.

Question 12

Do these need to be in direct sunlight to charge? I want to put them up a path which is shaded all day by an avenue of trees and am worried they will not charge effectively, especially during the winter months.

Accepted Answer

They do need to be in direct sunlight Im afraid however the tops can be taken off and placed in sunlight to charge then you put them back on the post where desired.

Question 13

How bright are these lights - in lumens?

Accepted Answer

they are between 8-12 lumen

Question 14

I have just purchased a pair of these London lights. I've had them in the sun all day set in the “S” position and they didn't come on at night. Is it possible that the protective film is still on the solar panel?

Accepted Answer

The protective film should be removed prior to charging the units. You will just have to peel it off the edges of the panel.

Question 15

Hi, whats the best way to clean the top of the london lights,thanks

Accepted Answer

Please use a cloth and CIF cream.

Question 16

Are these easy to put on artificial grass?

Accepted Answer

These lights come with a spike for easy installation.

Question 17

How many lumens are these lights ?

Accepted Answer

12 lumen

Question 18

how to remove film from solar panel onmini london solar lights

Accepted Answer

The film on top should be easy to just peel off, like a ready meal, if this is not easy then it appears they may have been omitted during manufacturing, but should still work perfectly fine.

Question 19

Please can someone advise if, and how, these can be fixed to a block paving driveway?

Accepted Answer

We would not recommend these for that. Do have a loomat our Durham.

Question 20

Hi, Can you adjust the sensitivity for these lights as I've got 4 and 2 are near the front door ( 1m away from door) which is white but when it gets dark they don't come on as the glare from the door is stopping them from working. Thanks

Accepted Answer

No, sorry there isn't a way to turn down the sensitivity.

Question 21

Can I replace the batteries when they cease to work?. I have had my London lights for two years and they have been marvellous - but are starting to fail now.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the batteries are easily removable. They are in the lighthead. They are 2 x AA rechargable 1.2v.

Question 22

Good morning, Do the London lights come with rechargeable batteries or do I have to buy them, when you say rechargeable that means it is the sun that constantly recharges them and approximately how long would the batteries last? Thank you. Best regards fro JoanðŸŒ´

Accepted Answer

The light comes with batteries (AA rechargeable 1.2v x2) and these come pre-installed. Usually the batteries would need to be changed around 2-3 years time, roughly.

Question 23

How long the lights could last with the rechargeable battery, especially in winter night? We hope the paths lights on till 11pm, is there high capacity battery or supplement battery?

Accepted Answer

The battery included is a AA rechargable battery. They should run from dusk until the batteries run out or dawn, whichever happens first.

Question 24

Don't these lights have a power save mode, Like the mini version? I want to place them somewhere that does get full sun all day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they have the powersaving setting, you will need to move the selector switch over to 'p' to activate this mode

Question 25

How many Lumens does each light produce?

Accepted Answer

Each solar post is 12 lumens.

Question 26

Dear Sirs, we have a fairly long driveway so what is the recommended distance between the lights so we can determine the number required? Thanks in advance, John

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can purchase  replacement tops here .

Question 31

Question 34

Could you tell me how many lumens the London XT Solar post lights are please?

Accepted Answer

Each solar post is 12 lumens.

Question 35

Kindly please confirm if the light is COLD WHITE or WARM LIGHT. i am seeking a WARM WHITE SOLAR POWERED GARDEN OUTDOOR LIGHT. Should this be COLD WHITE may i ask you to advise if any of your similar products (spike garden lights) are available in WARM WHITE. thank you so much!

Accepted Answer

The Londons are supplied as standard cool white however you can purchase warm white tops separately from here  - just select the warm white colour when adding to your basket. We have the Tunbridge Garden Lights that are warm white garden lights.

Question 36

Is it possible to operate these lights with remote batteries and solar charger and also remotely switch on and off as required I am wanting to use this type of light on my gate posts and would require four.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately this isn't possible, currently the Evo Floodlight is the only light that features a remote control.

Question 37

I see that these lights can be screwed into decking. Can they be screwed into paving stones or would i need to first fix a wooden plinth to the slabs?

Accepted Answer

If you have the right tools it could be screwed into paving stones. This is not our recommended installation which is to use the spike to push into the ground.

Question 38

Hi there, I received 4 of these last year and now only one is illuminating. Are the batteries replaceable? Stuart

Accepted Answer

The batteries are replaceable underneath the top. You just need to undo the screws to access the batteries.

Question 39

what is the warranty on the lights?

Accepted Answer

12 months from date of purchase.

Question 40

Hello, I'm interested in buying the London XT Solar Post Lights. Can they be installed on decking or can just be placed in soil? Thankyou Nadja

Accepted Answer

The London Post can be installed on decking. It is not our recommended way and can be fiddly to do.

Question 41

Can you tell me if the tube that lights up comes off these units or is it just the top part that contains the solar panel, battery, bulb etc? I have two similar units but they are wall mounted ones that come out from my fence posts at approx 15 degree angle, but at 6 years old the clear tubes have cracked and perished. I can't find the same units again so I'm wondering if I can simply order these and put the top half in the current wall posts.

Accepted Answer

The plastic diffuser tube part does come off, yes.

Question 42

On the lights that have arrived today I can see the switch and I can see it is in the middle (off) position but I can't see any markings for S or P. I'm holding the top so all the lettering on the circuit board is the right way up and the switch is at the bottom. Which way would I move the switch or S?

Accepted Answer

The P and S is very faint but can be seen as raised letters on the white plastic. The easiest way to tell is to move the switch to one side and then the other: the brighter side is the S side.

Question 43

I purchased some of these lights in August and they have been fantastic but one has decided it wants to illuminate during the day and turn off at night. Can you offer any advise to correct this or supply a new top under warranty? Kind Regards, Allen

Accepted Answer

We would recommend checking the installed location for anything that could be casting a shadow over the unit during the day. If this isn't the case please contact: Returns@TheSolarCentre.co.uk

Question 44

I bought four of these last year and have had great service from them however one of them started flicker and is now not lighting.. Can you advise?

Accepted Answer

Please turn it off for a few days to allow it to charge fully. If it still does not improve it may be worth checking or changing the batteries.

Question 45

LondonXT Solar Post Lights. Can these be screwed down onto concrete pathways like the Durham model

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are 3 holes in the underside of the base, using a long handled screw driver you could screw them down to a solid surface.

Question 46

Do these lights come with the power saving tops?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 47

10 hours from a full charge - what is a full charge?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 3 to 5 days for a full charge on all lights. 3 if it is nice and sunny. 5 if there is a lot of cloud cover or rain.

Question 48

the switch for on and off on the london solar post lights does not say which side left or right for on or off so that i can charge tjhem up

Accepted Answer

The off position is in the middle. These are the tops with the power-saving setting, which is slightly dimmer than the normal setting.

Question 49

Is 600 mAh enough for a 10h light? I mean, in a full sunny day, I guess more than 600 mAh can be collected (for future days too)

Accepted Answer

We decided to use the 600mAh battery size based on how much energy the solar panel can generate and also how little energy the LED needed.

Question 50

can I still get a replacement top for london solar light bought last year.

Accepted Answer

You can purchase replacement tops from the website. Just search for replacement to find them.

Question 51

At the risk of sounding like a cheapskate - I have several of your old London Lights - can I just buy new tops for them with this better version?

Accepted Answer

You can purchase the upgraded tops from the website. Search for "Replacement" and you will find it.

Question 52

Where can you get replacement batteries
