Description
The Panettieri is a solar wall light with a motion sensor, made from plastic, with a black body and a white plastic diffuser across the upper part of its face. Integrated LEDs give 1,600lm at 4000K, a clear neutral light that shows paths, steps and doorways as they really look. It measures 14.5cm long, 17cm high and 3cm deep, so it sits close to the wall, and at 0.53KG it is a light, slim unit. With an IP44 rating it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors on a house wall all year. A separate solar panel on its own bracket, linked to the light by a cable, gathers the daylight that powers it.
We would put it beside a front door, over a garage, along a side passage or by the back step, anywhere you want light the moment someone arrives. The motion sensor covers an angle of 120 degrees and reaches 5m, which suits a doorway, a drive or a short path well. Because the panel sits apart from the light, the light can go in a shadier spot than a light with a built-in panel could manage, while the panel goes where the sun reaches. It suits anyone who wants an outdoor light with no mains wiring to arrange and nothing to switch by hand.
Plastic does not rust, which suits a light that lives outdoors. The panel charges from daylight and does best in an open, sunny spot, clear of trees, fences and overhanging roofs that would shade it through the day. The light switches by its motion sensor, coming on as someone moves within range. To keep it working well, wipe the panel and the white diffuser now and then with a soft damp cloth, because dust and fallen leaves on the panel cut the daylight it collects. The installation instructions are available as a download.

Frequently Asked
Can the Panettieri go outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP44, so it is protected from splashing water and can live outdoors on a house wall, beside a door, a garage or a path.
How far does the motion sensor reach?
The sensor reaches 5m and covers an angle of 120 degrees, enough to pick up someone walking towards a door or along a short path.
How bright is the light?
The integrated LEDs give 1,600lm at 4000K, a neutral light that lights steps, doorways and paths clearly whenever the sensor picks up movement.
Where should the solar panel go?
The panel charges from daylight and does best in an open, sunny spot, clear of trees and roofs that would shade it for much of the day.
What size is the light?
It is 14.5cm long, 17cm high and 3cm deep, and it weighs 0.53KG, so it sits slim and close to the wall.
