Larson Electronics SPLED-5

SPLED-5 from Larson Electronics is a solar-powered area light with a rechargeable battery with a 12-hour run time. During daylight hours, the solar panel recharges the fixture’s internal lithium-ion batteries; during late evening or early morning, an integrated sensor triggers the light to come on in dim mode; and at night the LED light provides 12 hours of low illumination over 200 square feet. A motion detector allows SPLED-5 to increase light when someone approaches. The luminaire measures 16″ by 13″ and can be surface mounted or affixed to a pole or rail. magnalight.com
