pe747 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi, has anybody experience and recommendation for a good quality solar street lamp? Weatherproof, around 12 hours working time. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) We have many of these all around our garden / access road etc and they have them in all kinds of Wattage. They easily last for 12 hours at a time. (EDIT: They come on when it gets dark automatically and will turn off when it gets light) https://www.lazada.co.th/products/jd-solar-lights-jd-8200-200w-286-smd-3-jd-solar-cell-i672100485-s1306122352.html Edited November 24, 2022 by MJCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 We have several of these, sadly the original Lazada item is no longer available but there are a number of similar items. The plus for us is that they come apart easily to replace the batteries, although they're still going strong on the original packs after 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 ^ we have 2 of those as well, but they were ….. expensive, but they still are going strong 2 years plus, while the other ones are also oke, but they are impossible to repair, replacing is the only option when they fail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours are the "150W" version (actually about 15W of LEDs), good illumination for the driveway mounted on our electricity poles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe747 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thank you guys for your answer. I was searching Lazada for this and there are thousands of them. So I tried to read the 1 an 2 stars ratings to avoid the rubbish, but it is an endless task. That's why I asked in this forum???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I linked to (and other wattages from the same company) have served us very well. We have many of them (10+ with more to come) (all around the garden) and we only had to replace 1 or 2 over time. But YMMV ???? They are even used indoors at the BIL house ????

Yeah, the wattage seems to be "incandescent equivalent", 150W of LED is lighthouse bright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe747 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 any easy attachement to electrical pole? I am afraid to make holes into that concrete pole. Don't want to brake them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pair of stainless band clamps anchoring. If the concrete pole has any taper, that should work if the manufacturer gives it as an option for attaching.

pe747 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thank you @ degrub, I saw that too. But don't know, where to get. and my electrical poles are not round, but square???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degrub Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Then a Square U bolt bracket and flat plate with a bulge for tensioning should work. Otherwise, the square reinforced concrete poles i have seen around the world had sleeves where through bolts were required. here is an example- note the angles of the clamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe747 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thank you @degrub. I was looking for something on Lazada/Shopee and also in Thaiwatsadu but couldn't find such up to now. Will keep looking???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe747 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 found one that is big enough for a electrical pole ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
