Alarm cctv and electrical integration

[Blurock]

Can any of our Sparkies recommend a solar LED security light? (not these flimsy garden lights that last for a week only)
We do not want to be dependent on Eskom and light may be the only deterrent to crime when there are no alarms working because of load shedding.

If there is no such reliable product available on the market, there is a whole new challenge for someone with innovation and skills to provide one!

Are you looking for a solar security light?

I have designed one, that includes the constant LED driver, still trying to finish off the marketing material.

The specs are as follows:
15W (1800Lumens) Security light IP65 Rectangular type 12V DC (True constant current, which means that the voltage can vary from 10 to 30V DC and the LEDs will be fed with a constant current - so no change in power drawn or intensity change with change in voltage supply)
125W Solar panel
Solar Panel 100mm Pole powder coated bracket complete with nuts and bolts
Orange box 300x250x200mm orange enclosure with stainless steel pole brackets
40A Lithium battery
Solar Charger & controller with day light switch.

My preliminary price is around R11K ex VAT

The specs sounds good, but unfortunately the price (for 1 light?) @R11k will not effect any saving for a residential property over the next 10 years.

Thank you for your feed back.
As a matter of interest, what price would you be prepared to pay?

Note that the security light I quoted will run for 30 hours on one charge, so a week of over cast will still give you 13 hours per night of full light.

There are competitors offering far cheaper versions, which have motion sensors built in, which will be far cheaper, as the battery size and PV panel size are much smaller, which by their nature will be adequate for many applications where the maximum amount of time the light would work for is a couple of hours per night in the case that the sensors are continuesly triggered.

Depending on the application, if you use a 220V AC light, what would the cost of the installation be, if you follow the SANAS code, using armored cable and placing the cable underground and a distance of 30meters plus. The solar solution would be far cheaper as far as installation costs.
