SL-8
Greenlytes selection
8-LED Solar Spot Light
Eight 5 mm white LEDs give the SL-8 a wider lighting pattern for garden beds, path borders, signs and landscape features. It is a useful step when you want more spread than a tight accent spot, while keeping the installation fully solar powered.

SKU: SL-8
More spread from a compact solar spotlight.
The SL-8 uses eight smaller 5 mm LEDs to distribute bright white light across a broader target area. That makes it particularly useful when a single narrow highlight would feel too restrictive, but a flood light would be excessive.
Wider light pattern
Cover more of the feature with one light.
The row of eight 5 mm LEDs is better suited to spreading light across a planting bed, sign face, path border or landscape feature than creating one very tight point of illumination.

Eight-LED distribution
Instead of relying on a few larger emitters, the SL-8 uses eight 5 mm white LEDs. The practical advantage is distribution: the light can reach across more of a medium-size subject rather than emphasizing only its center.
2
Useful for linear features
Path edges, low planting, small signs and wider garden details often benefit from light that spreads laterally. Those are stronger applications for the SL-8 than trying to illuminate a distant object with a narrow beam.

1.2-watt solar charging system
Its 5 V, 240 mA panel provides about 1.2 W of nominal panel output and charges three 1500 mAh rechargeable batteries. Good panel exposure remains important because available solar energy changes with weather, shade and season.

Know where it fits
The SL-8 sits in the accent-lighting category: it offers useful spread around a feature, but it is not intended to replace a high-output flood light, driveway light or security fixture.
SL-8 at a glance
The SL-8 combines eight 5 mm LEDs with a 5 V / 240 mA solar panel and three 1500 mAh batteries. These figures help define its role as a broader-spread accent light.

01 What is the SL-8 best used for?
The SL-8 is best suited to garden beds, path borders, signs and landscape features where you want accent light to spread across more of the subject instead of concentrating on one small point.
02 How bright is the SL-8?
The SL-8 is currently rated on Greenlytes at approximately 60–90 lumens. Its practical strength is the way eight 5 mm LEDs distribute that light across the target rather than functioning as a high-output area light.
Best way to judge itThink about the width of the feature you want to illuminate, not only the lumen number.
03 Why does the SL-8 use eight 5 mm LEDs?
The eight-emitter layout allows the light to be distributed across a broader target. That makes the SL-8 particularly relevant for wider garden details, low planting and signs where even coverage matters more than a very tight beam.
04 What does the 5 V / 240 mA solar panel mean?
At its nominal electrical rating, 5 V multiplied by 240 mA corresponds to about 1.2 W of panel output. Real charging depends on sunlight, panel angle, weather, season and shade, so the panel should receive the clearest practical daytime exposure.
05 Can the SL-8 replace a solar flood light?
No. The SL-8 is still an accent and landscape light. Its wider LED arrangement helps spread light across a feature, but large patios, driveways and security areas call for a fixture designed for broad functional illumination.

when the goal is broad coverage rather than landscape emphasis.
06 Where should I position the SL-8?
Aim the light so its spread covers the feature you want to emphasize, while giving the solar panel strong direct daylight. Avoid unnecessary panel shade from buildings, trees, fences and dense planting.
