Welcome to Land House
Hello everyone, I’m Seth Johnson. Today, I’m excited to test out the Cyber Decks LED light. This impressive device is quite large and comes with a powerful light and a solar panel. Let’s take a closer look at these components, and then we’ll head outside to give it a thorough test.
Examining the Light
Firstly, let’s examine the light. It features a glass cover to keep it waterproof with an IP67 rating, which is quite good. Additionally, it contains a remarkable 196 LEDs. There’s also an infrared sensor that works with the remote control, which we’ll discuss later. Moreover, the back has a sturdy metal bracket with bolts. Finally, it has a cable that connects to the solar panel.
Overview of the Solar Panel
Next, let’s move on to the solar panel. It seems to be well-constructed and comes with a 16-foot cord, allowing for considerable flexibility in placement. According to the specifications, the panel is 35 watts, 3 amps, with an open circuit voltage of 12 volts and a voltage at P. Max of 10 volts. Additionally, it includes a remote control, batteries, mounting hardware, and some documentation.
Setting Up the Remote Control
Now, let’s set up the remote. After installing the batteries, you’ll find that the remote has several settings: auto, on/off, path mode, full mode, and timers for 3, 5, and 8 hours. I’ll use my front steps as a temporary setup to charge the unit for our evening test.
Initial Setup and Charging
Moving on, the unit features an O-ring to maintain its waterproof design. I have positioned the panel in the sun, not in the ideal spot, but it should charge sufficiently for the test. There’s an indicator on the light showing it’s charging. The sunlight is intense, so I’ll let it charge until evening.
Testing the Brightness
Later, I stepped outside with the remote control. Upon pressing the on button, I noticed the light is incredibly bright, even on the highest setting. Adjusting to the second setting dims the light slightly, making it perfect for closer inspection. Let’s aim the light towards the grass to gauge its brightness more accurately. Up close, it’s still
very bright. Switching back to the highest setting, the fence is more visible. This light is clearly designed to be mounted high, like on a baseball field or similar, and multiple units could illuminate a large area effectively.
Remote Control Settings
The remote control offers simple on/off buttons, dimming settings, and timers for 3, 5, and 8 hours. The auto button activates the light when the panel no longer detects sunlight. Out of curiosity, I tested the remote’s range from about 40 feet, but it didn’t seem to work from that distance. However, up close, around 7 or 8 feet, it functions well.
Water Resistance Test
Lastly, I tested the water resistance. After being outside in the rain for a couple of days, the charge indicator is still on. Let’s see if it works indoors. The light turns on and off with the remote, indicating it remains functional after being wet. One more feature worth mentioning is the auto mode, which activates in darkness and can be set for 3, 5, or 8 hours. When I turn the lights back on, the light turns off automatically, which is useful for conserving power.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the panel and light work great and are very bright. However, the remote control’s range is limited to about 15 to 20 feet. If you plan to mount this light high up, you might have difficulty operating it from a distance. Nevertheless, it’s a powerful light suitable for large areas like parking lots or fields.
