Solar Flood Lights
Solar flood lights deliver bright, wire-free security and area lighting using nothing but the sun. They charge by day and light up large spaces at night — perfect for driveways, yards, sheds and worksites with no power nearby and no running costs. We stock trusted solar brands built for Australian conditions.
Types of solar flood lights
- Solar sensor flood lights — motion-activated for security.
- Solar work & area floods — broad, even light for large spaces.
- Separate-panel floods — mount the light in shade and the panel in full sun.
How to choose a solar flood light
- Lumens: 1000+ lumens for security and large areas; less for accent or task lighting.
- Separate vs integrated panel: a separate panel gives placement flexibility and is ideal for shaded mounting spots.
- Sensor modes: dusk-to-dawn dim plus bright-on-motion maximises both coverage and battery life.
- IP rating: IP65+ for full weather exposure — see our IP rating guide.
- Battery & runtime: larger lithium batteries give longer, brighter all-night performance.
Solar flood light FAQs
How many lumens do I need?
For security and larger areas aim for 1000+ lumens; 300–800 lumens suits smaller spaces and task lighting.
Do solar flood lights have a separate panel?
Many do — a separate, cabled panel lets you mount the light in shade while the panel sits in full sun for the best charge.
Will a solar flood light work in winter?
Yes, though runtime may be slightly shorter on cloudy, short winter days.
Are they as bright as mains flood lights?
High-lumen solar floods are excellent for security and area lighting; for maximum continuous output compare our mains flood lights.
