1. Lumens and beam for Aussie nights
Path edges need soft spill; steps and gates need brighter focused beams. Check advertised lumens and LED count — dusk-to-dawn sensors help when you’re away.
2. Solar panel angle and charge hours
North-facing panels (AU) charge best. Shade from eaves or trees kills runtime. Removable panels on a cable help shaded beds still light the path.
3. IP rating and coastal salt
Aim for IP65+ for rain; coastal courtyards prefer sealed housings and stainless or powder-coated stakes so salt doesn’t seize fittings.
4. Sensors, timers and modes
PIR motion modes save charge; always-on decorative modes drain faster in winter. Prefer models with replaceable batteries where possible.
