3m Commercial Ceiling Fan, 300W

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

27% more air than the 2.4m, on identical power

Both commercial fans draw 300W. The 2.4m moves 2,600 cubic metres a minute; this one moves 3,300, and covers 210m² against 140m². The price difference is $40. On any measure of air moved per watt or per dollar, the 3m wins comfortably, and it is the size most function rooms, halls and larger alfresco areas should be looking at.

The reason is geometry rather than a better motor. Swept area grows with the square of the diameter, so 2.4m to 3m adds roughly 56% more disc for the blades to work with. The fan then turns much more slowly, 105 rpm against 160, and still shifts considerably more air. Bigger and slower wins, which is the same principle that runs through the whole HVLS range.

What you give up

Felt breeze directly underneath. The 2.4m delivers air at up to 4.5 metres per second where this one manages 3.5, so a person sitting under the 2.4m feels more moving air even though the room as a whole gets less. If you are cooling a handful of tables in a courtyard, that matters and the smaller fan may be the better answer.

You also need the ceiling space for a 3 metre sweep, clear of light fittings, ducting, a projector or a bulkhead. In a room with a lot going on above head height, the 2.4m fits where the 3m does not.

IP55, and quiet enough to run in front of people

The motor is sealed against dust and water jets, which is what makes this usable in an alfresco area, a covered walkway, a wash-down kitchen or a stable rather than only in a dry indoor room. At 38dB it runs behind a conversation rather than over the top of it, and reverse mode makes it useful in winter, pushing warm air back down off a high ceiling instead of letting it sit there.

How installation works

Hardwired and mounted to the ceiling structure through a licensed electrical contractor. The connecting rod runs 0.3 to 2 metres and is specified once we know your ceiling height. On a 2.5m ceiling the fan sits tight to the structure; on a 5m ceiling it drops to keep the air moving at head height rather than near the roof.

The thing to settle before ordering this size is the 3 metre sweep. Light fittings, ducting, a projector mount, a ceiling rose or a bulkhead all have to sit outside that circle, and in a fitted-out room that is usually what decides the position rather than the ideal centre of the floor.

We quote supply and install together, directly in New South Wales and through our certified partner network in the other states. The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. How installation works

Common questions

Why is this barely more expensive than the 2.4m?

Because it uses the same 300W motor and the same blade material, just more of it. $40 more buys 27% more airflow and 50% more coverage. Unless your ceiling cannot take a 3 metre sweep or you specifically want the stronger breeze of the smaller fan, this is the better buy.

Will one cool a 200m² function room?

On paper yes, at 210m² of rated coverage. In practice a room with a stage, a bar or a low bulkhead is not open floor, so two fans placed either side of the obstruction usually work better than one in the middle. Send a floor plan and we will lay it out.

Does it run in reverse for winter?

Yes. At low speed in reverse it pushes warm air back down off the ceiling instead of letting it sit up there, which is worth having in a hall or a high-ceilinged venue that is expensive to heat.

2.4m Commercial Ceiling Fan, 300W

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

A fan for spaces with people in them

Everything in our industrial range needs a roof of at least 3 metres and is built for pallets and process heat. This one is built for a room with customers or students in it, and it hangs from a ceiling as low as 2.5 metres, which is where most cafes, function rooms and covered courtyards actually sit.

Six aluminium-magnesium alloy blades move 2,600 cubic metres a minute across 140m² on 300W, which is less than a desktop computer. At 38dB it is quiet enough that conversation at the next table is unaffected, and quiet enough that a hall still hears the person at the microphone.

The strongest felt breeze of the two sizes

This is the counter-intuitive part, and it is the reason to choose the 2.4m over the larger 3m. The 2.4m turns faster, up to 160 rpm against 105, and delivers air at up to 4.5 metres per second where the 3m manages 3.5. So although the 3m moves more total air, the 2.4m produces a noticeably stronger breeze in the space directly under it.

In a small alfresco area or a narrow room, that is what you want: air you can feel at the table. In a wide function room you want the 3m’s coverage instead. The two fans are not a good and better version of each other, they do different jobs.

IP55, which is the real reason to buy a commercial fan

The motor is sealed and rated against dust and against water jetted from any direction. In practice that covers alfresco dining under a roof, covered walkways, commercial kitchens that get hosed down, stables and undercover wash bays. A domestic fan of similar diameter in any of those places becomes a maintenance problem within a season.

It does not mean the fan can sit in driving rain with nothing over it, so tell us how exposed the position is and we will confirm it suits before quoting.

A large ceiling fan in a school hall with smaller traditional fans either side — A hall running one large fan. The small traditional fans either side show the difference in scale and in what each can actually shift.

How installation works

Hardwired and mounted to the ceiling structure, so it goes in through a licensed electrical contractor. The connecting rod runs from 0.3 to 2 metres and is specified once we know your ceiling height, because on a 2.5m ceiling the fan needs to sit as close to the structure as it can while keeping safe blade clearance.

Blade clearance is the thing to check on this size. On a low ceiling the blades need to be comfortably above head height, and above anything tall in the room: a serving counter, a bar back, a piece of gym equipment or a raised stage all change where the fan can go.

Common questions

2.4m or 3m?

The 2.4m for a stronger breeze in a smaller space: it spins faster and delivers 4.5 m/s against the 3m’s 3.5. The 3m for coverage: 210m² against 140m², on the same 300W. Small alfresco or narrow room, take the 2.4m. Wide function room, take the 3m.

Will it work on a 2.6m ceiling?

Yes, that is within the rated 2.5 to 5m range, with a short connecting rod. Tell us what is underneath, because blade clearance over a counter, a bar or gym equipment is what usually decides the exact position on a low ceiling.

Can it go in a commercial kitchen?

Yes. IP55 means the motor is sealed against dust and water jets, which is what a kitchen wash-down puts a fan through. Describe the position when you enquire so we can confirm it suits, particularly if it is directly over a cooking line.

7.3m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 1100W HVLS

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

One fan instead of three

At 7.3m across, this is the fan you specify when a building is too big to solve in pieces. It covers up to 1,500m² of open floor from one mounting point, which is roughly three 4.3m fans worth of floor, on one circuit, with one controller and one point of maintenance. In a clear-span distribution centre or a large sports hall that arithmetic usually decides it.

Six blades turn at 15 to 55 rpm, the slowest range in the whole range, and that is deliberate. A larger disc moving slowly produces a deeper, more coherent column of air than a smaller one spinning hard, so the air arrives at floor level still moving rather than breaking up on the way down, and then spreads outward well beyond the fan’s own diameter.

It needs height to work

This is the one specification not to compromise on. The 7.3m is rated for mounting 5 to 12m off the floor, and it performs best from about 8m. Below 5m the column has nowhere to develop, the fan feels draughty directly underneath and does nothing at the walls. If your roof is lower, the 5m or 6.1m is the better fan, not a smaller budget.

Weight and structure

The fan weighs 111kg, which is the practical difference between this size and the smaller ones. That is a dynamic load on a single point, so the mounting position gets checked rather than assumed. Our installers do that as part of the quote, and the mounting kit covers concrete, I-beam and square steel.

How installation works

A 111kg fan at 8m or more is a lift job, not a ladder job, so installation is quoted with access in mind: a scissor lift or boom, a licensed electrical contractor, and a check of the mounting point before anything is bolted up. The kit includes hardware for concrete, I-beam or square steel plus a safety cable that carries the fan independently of the main bracket.

Give us the roof height, the frame type and the floor area and we will come back with the fan, the extension rod length and the installation as one figure. In New South Wales we install directly, and nationally through our certified partner network.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. At this size relocating is expensive, so the position is worth getting right the first time. Sprinkler heads, lighting runs and gantry travel all need to be clear of a 7.3m sweep.

Common questions

Is 7.3m too big for my building?

If the roof is under 5m, yes. The fan needs height to develop its air column, and below 5m you get a draught underneath and nothing at the walls. Roofs of 8m and up are where this size makes the most sense.

Will my roof structure take 111kg?

Most portal-frame roofs will, but it is a single-point dynamic load, so we check the mounting position as part of the quote rather than assume it. Send a photo of the roof steel with your enquiry and we can usually tell straight away.

How far does the air actually travel?

The column drops to the floor and then spreads outward across it, which is how one fan influences up to 1,500m². Racking, mezzanines and dividing walls cut that reach, which is why coverage on a real site is lower than the headline figure. Send us a floor plan and we will tell you what it will actually do.

6.7m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 1100W HVLS

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

The fan for a genuinely tall building

There is one specification that makes this fan interesting, and it is not the diameter. The 6.7m is rated to mount up to 14 metres off the floor on the manufacturer’s figures. If your roof is above 12m, this is the fan we quote first.

That covers a surprising number of buildings: high-bay distribution centres, aircraft hangars, cold-store envelopes, tall manufacturing halls, and anywhere a mezzanine has pushed the usable roof line up. In all of them the alternative is mounting a fan on a long extension rod, which brings its own problems.

Nearly the biggest, and often the better choice

At 6.7m it sits between the 6.1m and the 7.3m: 12,000 cubic metres a minute across 1,300m², from the same 1100W motor all three share. So the practical decision between it and the 7.3m is rarely about airflow, which differs by about 8%. It is about mounting height, and about whether an extra 0.6m of sweep fits between your sprinklers.

Six aerofoil blades run at 15 to 60 rpm. That is slower than the 6.1m and faster than the 7.3m, which puts it in a comfortable middle: enough speed to drive a column down from a high mount, slow enough to stay at 38dB.

Weight and structure

107kg, and mounted higher than anything else in the range, so access is the main cost driver on installation rather than the fan itself. It is a moving load on a single fixing, so the mounting point is assessed before anything is ordered. Hardware for concrete, I-beam and square steel is included.

How installation works

Mounted at up to 14m, access dominates the job. That usually means a boom lift rather than a scissor lift, and on a live site it often means working outside operating hours. Both get quoted up front rather than discovered on the day.

A licensed electrical contractor hardwires the fan to its variable frequency controller, and the mounting point is assessed first because 107kg at that height is a moving load on one fixing. The controller goes at ground level where staff can reach it, which matters more the higher the fan sits.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. At this mounting height relocating is expensive, so the position is worth settling carefully. How installation works

Common questions

Why choose this over the bigger 7.3m?

Mounting height. The 6.7m is rated to 14m and the 7.3m to 12m, so above 12m this is the fan. It also has 0.6m less sweep, which can be the difference between fitting between sprinkler heads and not. Airflow between the two differs by about 8%.

My roof is 13m. What are my options?

This fan, or a smaller one on a long extension rod. The 6.7m is the only size rated to mount that high, so it is the straightforward answer. Send the roof height and frame type and we will confirm the rod length.

Does a fan that high still reach the floor?

That is what the diameter is for. A large slow disc produces a column coherent enough to travel a long way down and still be moving when it arrives. It is also why mounting a small fan very high does not work.

6.1m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 1100W HVLS

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

Where this range changes gear

The 6.1m is not simply the next size after the 5m. It is where the design changes: six blades instead of five, a heavier motor assembly, 103kg against 49kg, and a minimum mounting height that jumps from 3.6m to 5m. Coverage doubles in the same step, from 500m² to 1,000m².

That makes it the first fan in the range aimed at genuinely large buildings rather than large rooms. One fan covering 1,000m² of clear floor is the point at which a multi-fan layout starts collapsing into a single unit, with one controller, one circuit and one thing to maintain.

Slower, and that is the design

11,500 cubic metres a minute at 15 to 65 rpm. Compare that with the 5m: 15% more air from a fan turning at little more than half the speed. The sixth blade is what makes it work, giving the fan more surface to push with so it can move a bigger volume gently instead of a smaller one hard.

The practical effect underneath is a broad, even movement of air rather than a draught you can point to. In an occupied building that difference matters as much as the airflow figure, and it is still 38dB.

The 5m roof minimum is not negotiable

Below 5m this fan has nowhere to develop its column and you get an uncomfortable draught underneath with nothing happening at the walls. If your roof is between 3.6m and 5m, the 5m fan is the right answer and will outperform a 6.1m mounted too low. Above 5m, and especially from 8m, this size comes into its own.

How installation works

At 103kg and 5m or more off the floor, this is a lift job with a licensed electrical contractor, not a ladder job. The mounting point is assessed before anything is ordered, because it is a moving load on a single fixing. Hardware for concrete, I-beam and square steel is included, with a safety cable independent of the bracket.

A 6.1m sweep needs to be clear of sprinkler heads, lighting runs and gantry travel, and that circle is large enough that it usually decides the exact position. Send photos of the roof steel with your enquiry and most of this can be settled before anyone visits.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. How installation works

Common questions

Why does this jump to six blades?

More blade surface lets a larger fan move more air at a lower speed. It runs at 15 to 65 rpm where the 5m runs at 20 to 80, and still moves 15% more air. Slower and broader is more comfortable to stand under and no louder.

My roof is 4.5m. Can I still have it?

Not this size. The rated minimum is 5m and below that the fan cannot develop its air column, so it underperforms a smaller fan installed correctly. At 4.5m the 5m fan is the largest that suits, and it will do a better job.

One 6.1m or two 5m fans?

For a clear span, one 6.1m: same coverage, one circuit, one controller, less to maintain. For a floor split by racking or a dividing wall, two 5m fans placed by section will beat one large fan trying to reach past an obstruction.

5m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 750W HVLS

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

The most air per watt in the range

The 4.3m and the 5m use the same 750W motor. The 4.3m moves 7,000 cubic metres a minute; the 5m moves 10,000. That is 43% more air for the same power draw and $100 more on the price, and it is the single most useful comparison in this whole range.

The reason is geometry rather than a better motor. Swept area grows with the square of the diameter, so going from 4.3m to 5m adds about 35% more disc for the blades to work with. The fan then turns more slowly, 20 to 80 rpm against 20 to 90, and still shifts considerably more air. Bigger and slower wins almost every time in this category.

Where the extra 0.7 metres costs you

Two things. The minimum mounting height rises from 3m to 3.6m, so buildings between 3 and 3.6m are ruled out and need the 4.3m or the 3.7m instead. And the sweep is 0.7m wider, which matters when you are threading a fan between sprinkler heads, lighting runs and a mezzanine edge.

If neither applies to your building, the 5m is the better buy. If either does, the 4.3m exists for exactly that reason.

Build and warranty

Five aluminium-magnesium alloy aerofoil blades, permanent magnet direct drive with no gearbox and nothing to oil, variable frequency controller included, 38dB, and 5 years of warranty on a certified installation. At 49kg it sits at the light end of the range, so mounting is straightforward on most structures.

How installation works

Hardwired to its variable frequency controller and bolted to structural steel or concrete, through a licensed electrical contractor. Mounting hardware for concrete, I-beam and square steel is included, along with a safety cable independent of the main bracket.

The two things worth checking before ordering this size are the 3.6m minimum mount height and the 5m sweep. Sprinkler heads and light fittings inside that circle are the usual reason a fan moves a bay over, and it is much cheaper to find that out at quote stage.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. How installation works

Common questions

Should I buy the 5m or the 4.3m?

The 5m, unless your roof is under 3.6m or the extra 0.7m of sweep does not fit. It moves 43% more air for the same 750W and costs $100 more. Those two constraints are the only reason to choose the smaller fan.

Will it clear a 4m roof?

Yes, comfortably. The rated range is 3.6 to 6m, so 4m sits near the bottom of it and uses a short extension rod. Tell us what is stored underneath so blade clearance can be confirmed.

How many for a 2,000m² warehouse?

Four on paper, at 500m² each. In practice racking runs and dividing walls cut a fan’s reach, so a 2,000m² floor with two racking aisles often works better as five fans placed by aisle rather than four on a grid. Send a floor plan and we will lay it out.

4.3m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 750W HVLS

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

Built for spaces the air conditioning cannot reach

The 4.3m sits in the middle of our HVLS range and is the fan most small warehouses and machinery sheds end up choosing. It clears 450m² of open floor from a single mounting point, which usually means one fan where you would otherwise hang six or eight high-speed drum fans and still have hot corners.

Five aerofoil blades turn between 20 and 90 rpm. At the top of that range the fan pushes a column of air down to the floor and out along it, so the moving air reaches people at working height rather than swirling near the roof. The perceived temperature drop is typically 3 to 6 degrees, and because it is air movement rather than refrigeration, it keeps working with the roller doors open.

Direct drive, so there is nothing to service

The motor is a permanent magnet synchronous unit driving the blades directly. No gearbox, which means no oil changes, no gear wear and no oil to drip onto stock below. It draws 750W at full speed, and considerably less at the lower speeds most sites settle on.

The blades are aluminium-magnesium alloy, not steel, so damp sheds and wash-down areas do not corrode them. At 46kg it is one of the lighter fans in the range, which keeps the mounting simple, though the mounting point still gets checked as part of the quote.

Quiet enough for a gym or a hall

38dB measured at the fan. That is quiet enough for a fitness studio, a school hall or a workshop where people need to hear each other, and it is one of the practical reasons large slow fans have replaced banks of small ones in occupied spaces.

How installation works

The fan is hardwired to its variable frequency controller and bolted to structural steel or concrete, so it must go in through a licensed electrical contractor. The kit includes mounting hardware for concrete, I-beam or square steel, and a safety cable that carries the fan independently of the main bracket.

We quote the fan and the installation together. In New South Wales we install directly; everywhere else runs through our certified partner network. Mount height for this size is 3 to 5.5m from the floor to the fan, and the extension rod is specified once we know your roof height.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated, so it is worth getting the position right the first time. Tell us the roof height, the floor area and what is already up there, and we will mark up where it should go.

Common questions

Will one 4.3m fan cool my 600m² shed?

Not on its own. The 4.3m is rated to 450m² of open floor, so a 600m² space wants either two 4.3m fans or a single 6.1m if the roof is high enough. Send us the dimensions and we will confirm.

What does installation cost?

It depends on mount type, working height, site access and location, so it is quoted per job rather than off a price list. Ask for a quote and we come back with the fan and the installation as one figure.

How long until it arrives?

Stocked in New South Wales and dispatched Australia-wide, typically 4 to 7 business days depending on the state. Installation is scheduled once the fan lands.

3.7m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 370W HVLS

August 5, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

About this fan

The fan for buildings that are not that tall

Roof height, not floor area, is what rules most buildings out of a big fan. The 3.7m is rated to mount from 3m, the lowest in the range, which makes it the only HVLS option for a lot of two-bay sheds, older workshops and single-storey units where the underside of the roof sits at 3.5 or 4 metres.

Within that limit it does real work: 5,000 cubic metres of air a minute across 380m² of floor. That is a two-car workshop, a small production room or a studio covered by one fan, replacing the three or four pedestal fans that were doing the job badly.

The lowest running cost in the range

370W at full speed, which is half what the 4.3m draws and a third of the largest sizes. Five aerofoil blades turn between 20 and 100 rpm, the widest speed range of any fan here, so it can be wound right down for winter destratification and still have plenty in reserve on a hot afternoon.

At 38kg it is also the lightest fan in the range, which keeps the mounting straightforward on the older roof structures this size tends to go into. The mounting point is still assessed as part of the quote.

Same build as the big ones

Nothing is downgraded to hit the entry price. The motor is the same permanent magnet direct drive with no gearbox and no oil to change, the blades are the same aluminium-magnesium alloy, the controller is the same variable frequency unit, and the warranty is the same 5 years.

How installation works

Hardwired to its variable frequency controller and bolted to structural steel or concrete, so it goes in through a licensed electrical contractor. The kit includes hardware for concrete, I-beam or square steel plus a safety cable that carries the fan independently of the bracket.

Because this size goes into lower buildings, the usual question is clearance rather than access: you need the blades comfortably above head height with the fan mounted between 3 and 5m. On a 3.5m roof that leaves very little room for an extension rod, so the drop is specified once we know the exact height.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. How installation works

Common questions

My shed roof is 3.2m. Will this fit?

It is within the rated 3 to 5m range, so yes, but the drop matters. At that height the fan mounts close to the roof with a short rod, and we would want to confirm blade clearance above anything tall stored underneath, like a hoist or a raised tray.

Is the 3.7m too small to bother with?

Not for the right space. At 380m² it covers a floor that would otherwise take three or four pedestal fans, on 370W total, in near silence. If your floor is bigger than that, step up to the 4.3m or 5m instead of adding a second one.

What does it cost to run?

370W at full speed, and most sites settle well below full speed. That is the lowest draw of any fan in this range, and it is the figure to compare against the several fans it replaces rather than against nothing.

Black UV-Resistant Cable Ties (4.8mm x 200mm)

August 3, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

The simple way to secure your outdoor lights

Good outdoor lighting is all in the detail, and the fixing you choose matters more than you would think. These heavy-duty black cable ties are the simple, reliable way to secure your festoon and fairy lights to almost any structure, so your display stays neat, taut and exactly where you placed it.

Built to live outdoors

Ordinary cable ties go brittle and snap after a season in the sun. These are UV resistant, so they hold up to harsh Australian sun, heat and weather without breaking down. That makes them suitable for permanent outdoor installations, not just a quick temporary fix. Secure your lights once and trust them to stay put through summer heatwaves, storms and everything in between.

The easy way to fix your lights

Running festoon and fairy lights along pergolas, fences, posts, gazebos and cafe blinds is quick and tidy with a cable tie. Loop one around your cable and the fixing point, pull it firm, and you have a secure hold in seconds. No tools, no drilling, no fuss. At 200mm long they wrap comfortably around timber beams, pipes and brackets, and the discreet black finish blends into your cable so nothing distracts from the glow.

Available in packs of 50 or 100

Choose the pack size to match your project, from a single string on the patio to a full commercial install. Keep a few spare for repairs, seasonal swaps and the next idea.

Are these cable ties suitable for permanent outdoor use?

Yes. They are UV resistant, so they stand up to sun, heat and weather without going brittle, which makes them suitable for permanent outdoor installations rather than just a temporary fix.

Will they hold festoon and fairy lights securely?

They are 4.8mm wide and 200mm long, which gives a strong, secure hold on festoon and fairy light cables around beams, posts, pipes and brackets. Loop, pull firm, and the tie holds fast.

What size and colour are they?

Each tie is 4.8mm wide and 200mm long in black. The black finish sits discreetly against dark cable so the fixings stay out of sight.

Solar Garden Spot Lights – 6 Head Kit – Warm White

July 16, 2026 festoonhouseLeave a comment

Uplight the trees a normal solar spot cannot reach

A garden changes the moment the light comes up from below. A warm beam into the trunk of a gum, a wash across a planted bed, a fence line picked out in soft light, and the space gains depth and a focal point it never had in daylight. This kit gives you six of those beams to place wherever you want them, with no wiring to run and no power point to find.

Six heads to shape the whole garden

Each of the six spot heads sits on a ground spike and tilts on an adjustable head, so you can aim light straight up a trunk, across a garden bed or along a path. Gather three or four on a single feature tree, or spread all six across the yard. The solar panel is separate, on its own spike and its own cable, and that is the part that matters under trees: the heads sit in the shade where you want the light, while the panel goes out in the open where the sun falls. Most solar spots build the panel into the light itself, so they only work in full sun. This one does not.

Each head is at its brightest across the first 2 to 3 metres, which is where a trunk, a rendered wall or a planted bed really lifts. Aim one further out and it still reaches, up to around 10 metres. These are lights for picking out the things worth looking at, not for flooding the whole yard.

Built for Australian weather

The heads are die-cast aluminium and ABS in a matte black finish that settles quietly into a garden bed by day. They are rated IP65, sealed against rain and hose spray, and the separate panel is rated IP44 for its spot in the open. The kit carries a 12-month warranty, and if anything goes wrong you reach a real person here in Australia.

Honest solar, with two levels of light

A full day of sun, around 8 hours, gives you roughly 6 to 9 hours of light after dark. Cloudy days charge less, so you get less. That is simply how solar works, and it is worth knowing before you buy. The kit comes on by itself once the light drops, and a button sets it to a bright high mode or a softer low mode that runs longer into the night. No app, no timer, nothing to wire.

What’s in the kit

6 x solar spot heads, 3 SMD LEDs each, 3W per head
1 x separate solar panel on its own ground spike
6 x ground spikes
Wall-mount screws and anchors
Connecting cable, approximately 3m between heads

How hard is it to set up?

There is no wiring and no electrician. Each head pushes into a garden bed on its spike, or screws to a wall or post with the included bracket, so you can light beds, fences and walls from the one kit. Stand the solar panel on its spike in the sunniest spot nearby, angle each head where you want the light, and that is the job. The spikes go in by hand; wall mounting takes a screwdriver.

How bright is it?

Each head is at its brightest across the first 2 to 3 metres, which covers most of what you would actually want to light: a trunk, a wall, a planted bed. Aim one further out and it still reaches, up to around 10 metres. There are two modes, so you can run them bright or drop to low and get more hours out of the night. We have not put a lumens figure on this page, because we have not measured this kit ourselves yet, and we would rather give you a number we can stand behind than one copied off someone else’s spec sheet.

Will it survive Australian weather?

Yes. The heads are die-cast aluminium rated IP65, sealed against rain and hose spray, and the panel is rated IP44 for its position out in the open.

What if a light stops working?

Every kit is covered by a 12-month warranty, and if a head ever fails or fades you reach a real person here in Australia who will sort it out, not a silent overseas inbox. Solar lights work hard outdoors, and we would rather back them properly than hope you never need us.

Will it suit my space?

There is roughly 3m of cable between each head, so a single kit reaches across a garden bed, along a fence line or around a small tree cluster. If you are not sure it will reach, send us a rough measurement and we will tell you before you order.

What happens on cloudy days?

The panel charges less, so the lights run for less of the night. A run of overcast days will show. This is true of every solar light, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. If your spot gets limited sun, place the separate panel in the best light you have; that is exactly what it is designed for.

Does it pair with the fairy light tree kit?

It does, and it is one of our favourite combinations. Uplight a tree from the ground with two or three of these heads, then wrap the canopy with one of our fairy light tree kits. The spots give you shape and shadow from below, the fairy lights add sparkle above, and a single tree becomes the feature of the whole garden.
