pacc1 Description

A solar path light built around a tungsten filament LED behind a high-transparency lens, giving a warm visible point of light rather than a flat white glow. A 500mAh lithium cell runs it eight to ten hours from a full charge, and the ABS body is rated IP65 for year-round use.

pacc3 GOOD TO KNOW

Will this work with my existing fittings?

Most of our indoor pieces use standard fittings. The exact fitting is listed in the product details, so check there before you order.

Can I use it outside?

Anything in the outdoor range is weather rated. Indoor pieces are not, so keep those under cover.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmable pieces are marked in the product details. If it is not marked, treat it as fixed output.

A Filament, Not A Chip

A tungsten filament bead behind a high-transparency lens gives a visible point of light and a warmer tone than the flat white chip in most solar lights. Against brick, gravel and planting it simply looks better.

Lithium, Not Ni-MH

A 500mAh 14500 lithium cell rather than the nickel chemistry used in cheaper solar lights. It holds its capacity better across seasons, so the third summer looks more like the first than it otherwise would.

Battery14500 lithium
Capacity500mAh
Nominal voltage3.7V
Run time8 to 10 hours

Marks A Route, Does Not Flood It

At 0.2W the bead shows you where a path runs rather than lighting the ground along it. Three or four spaced down a route work far better than a single one, which lights its own patch and nothing else.

Frequently Asked Questions

How bright is a filament light like this?

The bead is rated at 0.2W and the manufacturer publishes no lumen figure, so we will not quote one. Treat it as a marker: it shows you where a path runs and looks good doing it, rather than lighting the ground you walk on. Space three or four along a route for the effect to work properly. For real output, the Beacon spotlight is the better choice.

How long does it run for?

Eight to ten hours from a full charge, on the manufacturer’s figures, using a 500mAh lithium cell. Read that as a summer best case. British winter days are short and the sun is low, so the panel banks much less and the light will fade well before morning between November and February. Site it where it gets several hours of direct sun rather than under a hedge.

Does it come with a ground spike?

We cannot confirm it. The manufacturer describes the product as a pathway light and lists assembly as the installation method, but does not state what is actually in the box or how the light is fixed in place. Rather than assume a spike, we have left the mounting line blank. Check the variant listing before ordering if the fixing method matters to your installation.

Why lithium rather than a normal solar battery?

Most solar garden lights use Ni-MH cells, which work but lose capacity noticeably as they age. This one uses a 14500 lithium cell at 3.7V, which holds its charge better over repeated seasons. In practice that means a light which still runs a proper evening in its third summer rather than fading to an hour or two, which is the usual complaint about cheap solar.

Can it stay outside all year?

The body is ABS rated IP65 and the light carries CE and FCC marking, so rain and cold are within its range and it is built to stay out. What changes across the year is run time, not weatherproofing. Expect a full evening in June and a much shorter one in December, simply because there is far less sun to bank in the first place.

The Full Details

A solar path light built around a tungsten filament LED behind a high-transparency lens, giving a warm visible point of light rather than a flat white glow. A 500mAh lithium cell runs it eight to ten hours from a full charge, and the ABS body is rated IP65 for year-round use.

Specifications and full description

What it does

A solar path light built around a tungsten filament LED rather than the flat white chip most solar lights use. The filament is visible through a high-transparency lens, so the light has a source you can see rather than a glowing panel of plastic.

The manufacturer quotes a 500mAh 14500 lithium cell giving eight to ten hours from a full charge, in warm white. That covers an evening along a path, a doorway approach or the edge of a drive.

Filament, and why it looks different

A filament bead reads much closer to an old bulb than a modern LED does: warmer, softer and with a visible point of light instead of an even glow. Against brick, gravel and planting that tends to look considerably better than cold white.

The trade-off is output. The bead is rated at 0.2W, so this is a light that marks a route rather than floods it. Several spaced along a path work far better than one bright one at the end.

Charging and run time

The panel runs at 5.5V and 0.6W with a stated conversion efficiency of eighteen per cent, feeding a 500mAh lithium cell. Lithium is the better chemistry here: it holds its capacity longer across seasons than the Ni-MH used in cheaper solar lights.

Eight to ten hours is a summer figure. Through a British December, with a low sun and short days, expect the light to fade well before morning. That is the season, not a fault.

Built for outside

An ABS body rated IP65 with a high-transparency lens, CE and FCC marked. The manufacturer does not state how the light is fixed in place, so we cannot confirm whether a ground spike is included; check the variant listing before you order if that matters to your installation.

The manufacturer’s listing gives the voltage as 3.7V in its attributes and 5.5V in its specification; the first is the battery and the second the panel, so both are quoted separately above. No charge time is published and the mounting method is not described, so neither is claimed here.
