‘I’m concerned about security on the yard — is it possible to install lights to act as a deterrent without having access to the mains?’

The solution: Solar Mate Secure Professional Light

This compact, movement-activated security lamp is ideal for illuminating dark gateways, muck heaps and car parks as well as acting as a security deterrent across the whole yard.

Each powerful 2.5-watt solar panel generates enough power to light up an area of 100 sqm with its 900-lumen LED light unit. The angle and direction of the light are fully adjustable, as is the PIR (passive infrared sensor) sensitivity and operating time.

USP: mains-free security lighting with zero running costs. Note that total run time can vary according to the specific location of the solar panel, the weather conditions and the season.

The damage: £110 per light
