Luceco Solar Guardian Flood Light with PIR - 5W review
Sheds, side passages, fences and anywhere with no power run — places a light is useful but a cable is not practical.
By Tom Calder · Price last checked 20 Sep 2026, 12:29 BST · price-tracked
The genuinely fit-it-yourself option: solar with a 3.7V rechargeable battery, no mains connection, no wiring and no Part P question anywhere in the UK, on an adjustable bracket. IP65 and a claimed 25,000-hour LED life make it a solid outdoor product for £33. Be clear about what it is, though — at 550 lumens it produces roughly one-ninth of the light of the LAP unit, so it is a convenience and siting product rather than a serious deterrent floodlight.

- No mains connection at all — no electrician, no Part P question, genuinely DIY on an adjustable bracket
- IP65 rated with a polycarbonate housing and a claimed 25,000-hour LED life
- Solves the awkward locations: sheds, fences and side passages with no power nearby
- 550 lm is around one-ninth of the LAP unit's output — convenience lighting, not deterrent floodlighting
- Solar output falls in a British winter: expect reduced runtime December to February, and the panel needs a genuinely unshaded, south-facing position
- 1-year warranty, and 'zero electricity costs' and 'easy installation' are Luceco's own marketing phrases with no standard behind them
Who shouldn't buy this
Skip it if you are lighting a driveway or a main approach — that needs mains and far more output, which is what the LAP Weyburn and Luceco Castra are for.
