Solar Security Lights Built for Perimeter Coverage
Compact solar security lights built for perimeter coverage, gate mounting, and stockable security programs.
Wall-bracket and pole-mount models with PIR motion sensing, IP65/IP67 weatherproofing, and configurable lighting modes — manufactured in-house at our 12,000 m² Zhongshan facility.
Solar Security Lights for Stockable Perimeter Programs
JXSOL solar security lights are compact, wall-bracket-mounted outdoor solar security lighting products designed for gates, entrances, side yards, perimeter walls, small commercial areas, farms, and community projects. They sit between general solar flood lights — which prioritize raw output over security-specific features — and the larger commercial flood models built for warehouse yards and parking lots. The form factor is compact enough to stock as a standard SKU, the PIR sensor logic is configurable for different mounting heights and detection requirements, and the IP65/IP67 weatherproofing holds up in the field without generating warranty claims.
If you're building a solar security lighting catalog, this is the product that covers the broadest range of accounts: residential community perimeter packages, small commercial entrances, farm gates, school campuses, and hardware retail programs. It's a fast-moving SKU because the installation is simple — bracket mount, angle the panel, done — and the end customer doesn't need an electrician.

Where This Security SKU Fits in the JXSOL Range
This category has eight product types. The table below maps each to its commercial use case so you can confirm whether solar security lights are the right fit — or route to a sibling product that matches better.
| Product | Best Commercial Fit | When to Choose Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Security Lights (this page) | Compact perimeter coverage, gate and entrance mounting, stockable security SKU | — |
| Solar Flood Lights | General outdoor flood lighting, yards, driveways, broad area coverage | When the buyer needs general illumination rather than security-specific features |
| Commercial Solar Flood Lights | Warehouses, parking lots, large perimeter areas, contractor supply | When mounting height exceeds 6 m or output requirement exceeds 5,000 lm |
| Solar LED Flood Lights | Retrofit and new-install flood lighting, LED module efficiency focus | When the buyer is specifying by LED module type rather than security function |
| Solar Motion Sensor Flood Light | Security flood lighting with wide-area motion-triggered activation | When coverage area is large and a flood-format housing is required |
| Motion Sensor Solar Lights | Residential security resale, consumer-accessible form factor | When the channel is retail or the end customer is a homeowner |
| Waterproof Solar Security Lights | Coastal installations, ground-level mounting, high-humidity environments | When IP67 is a hard requirement and the installation is exposed or ground-level |
| PIR Solar Security Lights | Adjustable PIR detection logic, driveways, gates, building perimeters | When the buyer needs configurable detection angle and sensitivity as the primary spec |
The Practical Distinction
Solar security lights are the balanced, fast-moving security SKU. They cover the majority of perimeter and entrance applications without the complexity of a commercial flood light or the niche positioning of a dedicated IP67 or PIR-only model. If your accounts span multiple segments — residential community projects, small commercial properties, farm gates — this is the SKU that fits most of them from a single stock position.

Request ConfigurationWhy 800–3,000 lm?
The 800–3,000 lm range covers the practical span for compact security light applications: lower end for residential entrances and side-yard coverage at 2–3 m mounting height, upper end for small commercial perimeters and farm gates at 4–5 m. Speccing above 3,000 lm in a compact security light housing typically creates glare at close mounting distances and draws battery faster than the panel can recover in winter months — the commercial flood light range handles those requirements better.
Mounting, Sensor Logic, and Battery Autonomy That Reduce Returns
Most warranty claims on solar security lights trace back to three sourcing decisions made before the product ships: wrong mounting height for the lumen spec, wrong lighting mode for the battery size, and wrong IP rating for the installation environment. Here's how we walk buyers through each.
Mounting Height and Lumen Match
Compact solar security lights are designed for 2–5 meter mounting heights. At 2–3 meters on a wall bracket, 800–1,500 lm covers a standard residential entrance or side gate with good uniformity. At 4–5 meters on a wall or post, 1,500–3,000 lm is the practical range.
Above 5 meters, the beam angle of a compact security light housing starts to create dark spots at the perimeter — that's where the motion sensor flood light format handles coverage better.
We've had buyers spec compact security lights at 6-meter mounting heights and then get complaints about uneven coverage. The fix is a different product, not a brighter chip.

PIR Sensor Logic and Battery Autonomy
Dim-to-bright mode is the configuration we recommend for most security applications. The light stays at 20–30% output continuously, then jumps to full brightness on PIR detection. This extends battery life significantly compared to always-on full brightness, while maintaining a visible deterrent effect.
For markets with shorter winter daylight hours — Northern Europe, Canada, higher-latitude Middle East — dim-to-bright mode is often the difference between a product that works through winter and one that generates battery complaints in November.
Always-on full brightness is the right choice only when continuous full illumination is a hard requirement.
Dim-to-Bright (Recommended)
20–30% standby → 100% on motion
Always-On Full
Only when continuous illumination is required
Solar Panel Exposure
The panel needs unobstructed south-facing exposure (north-facing in the Southern Hemisphere) with no shading from eaves, trees, or adjacent structures.
A shaded panel is the most common installation error we see in field failure reports. For buyers supplying contractors, including a panel placement note in the installation guide reduces callbacks significantly.
IP65 vs. IP67 for This Product
IP65 handles rain, dust, and direct water spray — it's the correct spec for standard wall-mounted and post-mounted security light applications.
IP67 adds submersion resistance and is the right choice for ground-level mounting, coastal environments, or any position where water pooling is possible.
For most of the applications this product covers, IP65 is sufficient. If your accounts include coastal properties or flood-prone areas, route them to our waterproof solar security lights with IP67 verification.

Market Segments Where Compact Security Lights Sell Cleanly
Solar security lighting moves well in specific commercial segments because the value proposition is direct: perimeter coverage without grid trenching, no ongoing electricity cost, and bracket installation that doesn't require a licensed electrician. Here's where this product generates repeatable revenue.
Residential Community Perimeter Packages
Property developers and community management companies specify solar security lights for entrance gates, perimeter walls, and pathway junctions in residential developments. A typical community project runs 20–100 units per site, with repeat orders as new phases are built out.
The compact form factor fits standard wall brackets without structural modification, and the PIR-triggered activation reduces complaints from residents about light pollution.
Distributors who establish a relationship with one property developer in a growing market often find the reorder pattern is predictable — new phases, new sites, same SKU.
Small Commercial Entrances and Side Doors
Retail properties, office buildings, and light industrial facilities need security lighting at secondary entrances, loading areas, and side access points where running conduit is expensive or disruptive. Solar security lights cover these positions without electrical work, which makes the ROI case straightforward for your accounts to present to their clients.
The installation is fast enough that a contractor can cover a 10-unit commercial property in a single day.
This segment has grown steadily — property managers are increasingly specifying solar for secondary positions even when grid power is available, because the installation cost difference is significant.
Farms and Rural Gates
Agricultural buyers need perimeter and gate lighting across large areas where grid power is unavailable or expensive to extend. Solar security lights are the default solution for farm gates, equipment yard entrances, and outbuilding perimeters.
Battery autonomy and cold-weather performance are the key spec questions for this segment — buyers in northern markets need to confirm the battery configuration handles winter charging windows.
Extended-autonomy battery packs are available through our OEM/ODM configuration for buyers targeting high-latitude agricultural markets.
Schools, Campuses, and Community Projects
Government and institutional buyers specify outdoor solar security lighting for pathway junctions, building perimeters, and secondary access points. These projects often run on annual procurement budgets with defined SKU requirements — a clean fit for distributors who can supply consistent product across multiple sites.
The CE and RoHS certifications cover the compliance requirements for most institutional procurement processes in European and regulated markets.
A distributor who qualifies our product for one school district or municipal authority often finds the same SKU gets specified across multiple sites in the same procurement cycle.
Hardware and Distributor Retail Programs
Compact solar security lights are a high-velocity SKU for hardware distributors and home improvement channels. The end customer installs them without an electrician, which reduces the barrier to purchase and keeps your return rate low.
The 800–1,500 lm range covers the residential security use case that most end customers are buying for, and the PIR-triggered activation is a feature that's easy to communicate on retail packaging.
For buyers building a private-label solar security lighting line, this product's compact form factor and straightforward installation story translate well to retail shelf and e-commerce listings.
Need higher output? For larger-area commercial projects where output requirements exceed 3,000 lm or mounting heights exceed 5 meters, see our commercial solar flood lights for the right product configuration.
Based on your target market and volume
Weatherproofing, Battery Matching, and LED Binning Before Shipment
The failure modes that generate warranty claims on solar security lights are predictable. We've been manufacturing in this category since 2012, and the same three issues come up repeatedly: water ingress at cable entry points, battery capacity drop from mismatched cells, and lumen inconsistency between reorder batches. Our production system is built around preventing all three.
Waterproof Structure Inspection
Water ingress on solar security lights almost never happens through the housing body — it happens at the cable entry gland, the lens seal, and the junction between the solar panel frame and the housing.
We test every unit's waterproof structure on dedicated IP inspection equipment before it leaves the line. The gasket material, gland torque spec, and lens seal compression are part of the assembly checkpoint, not a visual inspection. IP65 and IP67 ratings are verified on our own test benches, not assumed from housing design.
We switched from visual IP inspection to equipment-based testing after a batch of units passed visual checks but failed in field conditions. The equipment catches what visual inspection misses.
Battery Cell Matching
When battery cells in a pack have mismatched internal resistance, the pack degrades unevenly — capacity drops after 3–6 months instead of the rated cycle life. This is the failure mode that's hardest to detect before the product is in the field, and it's the one that generates the most difficult warranty conversations because the product worked fine initially.
We match battery cells by capacity and internal resistance before pack assembly. Every pack goes through a charge/discharge cycle test on our aging racks before installation. A bad batch gets caught before it ships.
LED Lumen Binning
Lumen inconsistency between batches is a problem that shows up when buyers reorder and the new units don't match the first shipment.
We run LED module lumen binning at the assembly stage — modules are sorted by lumen output and color temperature before installation, and output is confirmed against spec before units move to final assembly. Your second container matches your first.
Controller & PIR Function Testing
Every controller and PIR sensor goes through a dedicated function test bench before assembly. Lighting modes, detection range, and sensitivity are verified.
A security light that doesn't trigger on motion is a warranty claim and a credibility problem for your account — we catch it at the bench, not in the field.
Our JXSOL solar lighting factory runs 100% pre-shipment inspection — every unit, every carton, before the container closes.
CE, RoHS, IP65/IP67, and IEC 62124 documentation is available per order.
Request Test Reports or Certification DocsOEM/ODM Configuration for Private-Label Security Light Programs
Our in-house R&D team — 15+ optical and electrical engineers — handles OEM/ODM configuration alongside standard product development. For buyers building a private-label solar security lighting line or sourcing for a specific project specification, the engineering team works through the configuration before production starts, not during it.
What's Configurable on Solar Security Lights
Lumen Output
Adjusted within the LED module's design range. Most adjustments between 800–3,000 lm don't require a housing change.
Color Temperature
3,000K–6,500K, selectable per order. Warm white (3,000K–4,000K) for residential and hospitality; daylight (5,000K–6,500K) for commercial security and institutional applications.
Battery Capacity
Sized for target autonomy days based on your market's average solar irradiance. Extended-autonomy packs configured for Northern Europe and high-latitude markets needing 5–7 days of backup during low-irradiance seasons.
Solar Panel Capacity
Sized to match battery and output requirements for your target latitude. Equatorial markets can run smaller panels; northern markets need larger panels to maintain autonomy through winter.
Sensor Logic
PIR detection range, sensitivity, and lighting mode sequences (always-on, dim-to-bright, motion-triggered, timer-based) are configurable on sensor models.
Housing Color
Custom colors available on runs over 100 units. Below that, the powder line changeover cost doesn't make sense for either side.
Logo & Packaging
Custom packaging, labeling, manual language, accessory pack configuration, SKU labels, and barcode requirements for private-label programs.
Regional Compliance Docs
CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS test reports, and IP certificates provided per order. Additional market-specific documentation on request.
Configuration Limits to Confirm Before Quoting
Housing geometry changes — different bracket mounting positions, integrated camera mounts, non-standard panel angles — require an engineering review and may affect tooling cost and lead time.
IP67 upgrades on models rated IP65 require structural changes to the cable entry and lens seal, which affects unit cost.
Extended-autonomy battery configurations increase the battery pack size, which may affect carton dimensions and container loading quantities.
Unit MOQ
Standard catalog models
OEM/ODM projects go through an engineering review before production to lock the spec before component procurement — this step prevents the spec mismatches that cost more time to resolve during production than the review takes upfront.
Packing, Labeling, and Mixed-SKU Reorder Planning
Solar Panel Protection
The solar panel is the most fragile component and needs foam-cushioned carton sections to prevent transit damage. Panels are isolated from housing and hardware in dedicated compartments.
Hardware Separation
Wall bracket and mounting hardware are packed separately from the housing to prevent scratching. The accessory pack — screws, anchors, cable ties, installation guide — is counted against a packing list before carton sealing, not visually checked.
Batch Traceability
Each carton carries a batch code for traceability. If a quality issue surfaces in the field, you can trace it back to the production batch and we can pull the inspection records for that run.
SKU Labeling Information
Every carton label includes the information your receiving team and downstream customers need without opening the carton:
- Product code
- Lumen output
- IP rating
- Lighting mode
- Certification marks
Mixed-SKU Consolidation & Reorder Capacity
For distributors running mixed-SKU orders across solar security lights and other products in the solar flood and security lighting range, we consolidate at the carton level with a master packing list.
Pallet configurations are available for buyers who need palletized delivery for warehouse receiving. Your reorder runs on a scheduled line, not in a queue.

FAQ for Solar Security Light Buyers
What lumen output is practical for solar security lights?
For compact solar security lights mounted at 2–3 meters, 800–1,500 lm covers a standard residential entrance or side gate with good uniformity. At 4–5 meters, 1,500–3,000 lm is the practical range.
Above 3,000 lm in a compact security light housing, you start creating glare at close mounting distances and drawing battery faster than the panel recovers in winter — the commercial flood light format handles those requirements better. Match lumen output to mounting height and coverage area, not to a general "brighter is better" assumption.
Are solar security lights bright enough for commercial perimeter use?
For small commercial perimeters — entrances, side doors, loading area access points, secondary gates — yes. The 1,500–3,000 lm range at 4–5 meter mounting height covers these positions effectively.
For large commercial perimeters, warehouse yards, or parking lots where mounting heights exceed 5–6 meters and coverage areas are large, our commercial solar flood lights in the 3,000–6,000+ lm range are the correct specification. The distinction is mounting height and coverage area, not commercial vs. residential.
What mounting height and PIR detection range should I specify?
Match PIR detection range to mounting height. At 2–3 meter mounting height, a 5–7 meter detection range covers the approach zone without triggering on distant movement. At 4–5 meters, a 7–10 meter detection range is appropriate.
PIR detection angle of 90°–120° is standard for wall-mounted security lights — wider angles increase false triggers from passing traffic or animals, which generates end-customer complaints. For buyers supplying contractors, confirming mounting height before quoting the PIR spec prevents the most common sensor-related returns.
Do solar security lights need IP65 or IP67?
IP65 is the correct specification for standard wall-mounted and post-mounted outdoor solar security lighting. It handles rain, dust, and direct water spray from any direction — sufficient for the vast majority of perimeter and entrance applications.
IP67 adds submersion resistance to 1 meter for 30 minutes, which matters for ground-level mounting, coastal environments, or any position where water pooling is possible. If your accounts include coastal properties or flood-prone areas, specify IP67 and route to our waterproof solar security lights.
For standard wall-mounted security applications, IP65 is sufficient and avoids the cost premium of IP67 construction.
How many cloudy days should the battery cover?
The standard configuration covers 2–3 consecutive cloudy days for most markets. For buyers targeting Northern Europe, Canada, or high-latitude markets where winter charging windows are short, we configure extended-autonomy battery packs that cover 5–7 days.
The calculation depends on your market's average solar irradiance, the lumen output and lighting mode selected, and the daily operating hours. Dim-to-bright mode extends autonomy significantly compared to always-on full brightness — for markets with challenging winter conditions, it's often the configuration that makes the product viable year-round.
Send us your target market and lighting mode requirements and we'll confirm the battery configuration needed.
Can JXSOL customize packaging and lighting modes for distributor orders?
Yes. Lighting modes — always-on, motion-triggered, dim-to-bright, timer-based — are configurable on sensor models. Custom packaging, labeling, manual language, accessory pack configuration, and barcode requirements are available for private-label programs.
MOQ for standard catalog models starts at 100 units; OEM/ODM projects with custom specifications go through an engineering review to confirm the configuration before production.
