Frigento Solar Wall Light with Motion Sensor

Description

DescriptionThe Frigento is a solar wall light with a built-in motion sensor, made for the outside of the house. A rust brown aluminium frame wraps in an L shape across the top and down the back of an opal plastic cube, with the solar panel set into the flat top and the sensor sitting in the grooved panel beneath the shade. It is 14cm long, 15cm high and projects 12cm from the wall, so it sits neatly on a narrow stretch of wall beside a door. The integrated LED gives 700lm at 3000K, a warm light, and the IP44 rating means it is protected from splashing water, so it lives outdoors on a house wall.
Because it runs from the sun rather than the mains, it goes where running a cable would be a nuisance: beside a front door, along a side passage, on a garage or a garden wall. The panel charges from daylight and does best in an open, sunny spot, so choose a wall that sees the sky rather than one under a deep porch. The sensor covers a 120° angle out to 9m, so the light comes on as someone walks up the path and nobody is left fumbling for keys in the dark. It suits anyone who wants a lit entrance without any cable to run.
Aluminium does not rust, so the rust brown body is a warm, earthy colour that sits well against render, brick and timber. The opal plastic shade spreads the light evenly, so the cube glows softly rather than showing a bright point. The motion sensor is the switch, so there is nothing to remember each evening. It weighs 0.5KG, so it puts very little load on the wall. The installation instructions come as a download, so you can read them before you choose the spot.

Frequently AskedCan the Frigento go outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP44, so it is protected from splashing water and lives outdoors on a house wall, beside a door or along a passage.
How bright is the light?
The integrated LED gives 700lm at 3000K, a warm light that lights a doorway or a path without feeling harsh.
How far does the motion sensor reach?
The sensor picks up movement out to 9m across a 120° angle, so the light comes on as someone approaches the door.
Where does the solar panel work best?
The panel sits in the flat top and charges from daylight, so it does best in an open, sunny spot rather than under a deep porch or overhang.
How big is the light?
It is 14cm long, 15cm high and projects 12cm from the wall, and it weighs 0.5KG, so it suits a narrow stretch of wall.
What colour is the finish?
The aluminium body is rust brown, a warm earthy colour, and the cube shade is opal plastic that glows softly whenever the LED is lit.
