MODI MD-SLT42 100W Solar Street Light

At Technics Electricals & Solar in Kiserian, solar floodlights and street lights cost KSh 4,000 to KSh 8,500: the MODI 100W street light is KSh 4,000, the Vellmax 50W floodlight KSh 4,500, the Vellmax 100W dusk-to-dawn KSh 6,000, the MODI 200W floodlight KSh 6,500 and the MODI 400W floodlight KSh 8,500.

The Carl & Gilbert 200W light with a 20W panel is also KSh 6,500, and the MODI 200W street light KSh 5,000. The watt figure in the name is a size guide, so compare the panel and battery too.

Yes. Technics Electricals & Solar installs mains LED floodlights, solar floodlights and street lights for gates, compounds, shops, schools and farms. Mains floodlights can run on a photocell so they switch on at dusk; solar lights need no cable from the house. We quote after a site visit, and lights start from KSh 900.

Mains floodlights: Vellmax 20W KSh 900 to 100W KSh 2,000. Solar floodlights and street lights: KSh 4,000 to 8,500.

Most are designed to, after a sunny day. They charge by day and switch on automatically at dusk; dusk-to-dawn models such as the Vellmax 100W are made to run through the night. Run time drops after cloudy days or if the panel sits in shade or dust, so mount it facing open sky and wipe it now and then.

Some MODI models dim during the night to stretch the battery, as listed. If you need full brightness all night, ask us about a mains floodlight on a photocell instead.

For blackouts, Technics Electricals & Solar stocks three DP Light options: a heavy-duty rechargeable LED searchlight (KSh 800) for walking the compound, an 18W LED solar shell lamp (KSh 1,000) that lights a room and charges by solar or USB, and a 6W solar camping lantern (KSh 1,500) that can also charge a phone.

Keep them charged before the power goes. For whole-house backup, look at our YACHU solar kits.
