The SolarTec Premium Solar Lighting Kit 8 lights a summerhouse or log cabin without any mains wiring. It suits buildings up to 4m x 4m. Instead of bulbs on the ceiling you get two floor lamps and one table lamp. That makes the room feel like a lounge rather than a shed.
A 10w solar panel charges a 10Ah lithium battery hub. The lamps then run for up to 5 hours every evening. The brightness matches 350lm and 80lm mains bulbs. The panel is weather resistant and keeps working all year round. The hub can also charge phones or a 12v TV. You can even run a laptop with a 12v adaptor.
Setup is plug and play. The box has the panel, a panel bracket, a splitter cable and a fixing pack. Two 3.5w vintage bulbs and one 0.8w vintage bulb are included. Lamp shades are not. You will need to add those yourself. The kit has a 2-year warranty. It fits the Sudbury summerhouse plus the Chiltern and Melbury log cabins.
Why pick it? You get no electrician bills and no trenching. You also get lamps you can move around. It is one of nine SolarTec kits, so bigger buildings have an upgrade route. Installation is not part of any garden building installation service.
