Description
The Plet is a 61cm solar pedestal light built around a hand-woven black rattan teardrop shade, housing an integrated 5W LED rated at 3000K. The solar panel sits on the top rim behind a metal loop handle, charging an internal battery during daylight hours to power up to 12 hours of warm light through the woven rattan after dark.
Designed for outdoor placement on garden paths, patio edges, or decking where mains wiring is impractical, the Plet requires no cables or external power supply. The IP65 rating protects the internal components against rain and dust, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use in the UK climate. The 48cm diameter footprint sits stably on paving, gravel, or grass without requiring ground fixing, and the rattan weave casts a patterned shadow when the light is active.
The hand-woven construction means each shade shows slight variation in weave density and finish texture, a characteristic of rattan rather than a defect. The black finish softens into charcoal under daylight and deepens to near-black after dusk, pairing comfortably with both contemporary and traditional outdoor furniture. The teardrop silhouette gives the fitting a 61cm vertical presence without dominating smaller patios or balconies.
The integrated solar panel charges the internal battery automatically during daylight hours — no manual switching is required. On a full charge, the Plet provides approximately 12 hours of illumination, starting automatically at dusk. Charging efficiency depends on direct sunlight exposure; positioning the light where it receives at least 6-8 hours of unobstructed sunlight will deliver optimal runtime.

Frequently Asked
How long does the battery take to charge?
The integrated solar panel charges the internal battery during daylight hours. A full charge typically requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Overcast conditions or partial shade will reduce charging efficiency and shorten the runtime that evening.
Can it be left outside in winter?
Yes. The IP65 rating protects the light against rain and dust, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use in the UK. However, reduced daylight hours in winter will result in shorter runtime per night compared to summer months.
Does it turn on and off automatically?
Yes. The Plet uses an automatic light sensor that activates the LED at dusk and switches it off at dawn. No manual switching is required. If the battery is depleted, the light will remain off until it has recharged sufficiently.
How is the rattan maintained?
Wipe the rattan with a dry or barely-damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid soaking the weave or using chemical cleaners. The rattan may naturally lighten or darken slightly over time with UV exposure — this is characteristic of natural materials used outdoors.
