How It Works
A More Practical Way to Choose Property Lighting
Lumen output matters, but it is only part of the decision. A useful lighting recommendation should also consider the size of the area, mounting height, available sunlight, solar-panel placement, and how the property will be used after dark.
We Review the Actual Conditions
We review the information you provide against Solaraluma’s real product specifications, including measured lumen output, battery capacity, operating modes, mounting range, and solar-panel needs.
Receive a Practical Starting Plan
We’ll send you a suitable fixture recommendation, a practical starting quantity, suggested mounting-height guidance, and basic solar-panel placement considerations for your property.
No pressure to buy. The goal is to help you narrow down the right product and begin with a more practical lighting setup for your property.

Common Starting Points
What Might We Recommend?
You don’t need to choose a product before submitting your request. These are common starting points, but the right fixture depends on your property size, mounting options, available sunlight, and how you plan to use the area after dark.
Your Situation
Typical Starting Point
Your Situation
Driveway, ranch gate, farm entrance, or private road
Typical Starting Point
2550LM Solar Area Light
A flexible option for entrances and access areas, with steady-light, timer, and motion-sensing modes available.
Your Situation
Larger open area, horse property, livestock yard, or wide rural space
Typical Starting Point
3500LM Heavy-Duty Solar Light
Higher real-lumen output, a heavy-duty aluminum housing, and steady-light operation for larger areas where motion sensing is not required.
Your Situation
Barn wall, covered structure, equipment area, or outdoor workspace
Typical Starting Point
1664LM Detachable-Panel Solar Flood Light
The light can be mounted near the area that needs illumination while the separate solar panel is positioned in a sunnier, unobstructed location.
Your Situation
Inside a barn, shed, stable aisle, garage, or workshop
Typical Starting Point
2000LM Solar Barn Light
A linear indoor fixture designed for covered spaces, with the solar panel installed outside where it can receive direct sunlight.
Your Situation
Multiple lighting zones across a farm, ranch, or large property
Typical Starting Point
A Combination of Solar Fixtures
Different areas may require different lumen outputs, operating modes, mounting methods, and solar-panel configurations.
These examples are general starting points rather than fixed product requirements. Final recommendations depend on the property information you provide and are not professional photometric or engineered lighting plans.
How We Evaluate Your Setup
Recommendations Based on Real Product Specs
We don’t recommend a solar light based on lumen output alone. A useful property lighting recommendation considers how the complete lighting system will work under your actual installation conditions.
Real Light Output
We consider measured or clearly stated lumen output together with beam distribution, mounting height, fixture direction, spacing, and the size of the area being illuminated.
Battery Capacity
Battery storage must support the fixture’s power draw and intended operating mode. Required capacity can change based on brightness, operating hours, winter conditions, and low-sun periods.
Solar-Panel Capacity
Panel wattage should be evaluated with battery capacity, fixture power consumption, available charging hours, seasonal sunlight, and the expected nightly operating time.
Mounting Height
Mounting higher can increase the apparent coverage area but may reduce the brightness experienced at ground level. Each fixture should be matched to a practical mounting range.
Solar-Panel Placement
The panel needs direct, unobstructed sunlight whenever possible. Detachable-panel fixtures offer more flexibility when the light must be mounted in a shaded or covered location.
Housing & Environment
Housing material, weather protection, wind exposure, humidity, temperature, and potential salt-air exposure all matter when selecting a fixture for long-term outdoor use.
Available Sunlight

Fixture Load
Expected Runtime
Actual charging and nightly runtime vary with weather, season, temperature, shade, selected mode, brightness setting, installation, and battery state. Published specifications are planning inputs, not a guarantee of identical performance every night.
Your Personalized Starting Plan

Mounting Guidance
A suggested mounting-height range, suitable mounting surfaces, and basic fixture-direction guidance based on the information you provide.
Solar-Panel Guidance
General recommendations for panel direction, sun exposure, avoiding shade, and whether a detachable-panel fixture may provide more installation flexibility.
Basic Layout Suggestions
A practical starting approach for fixture placement, direction, spacing, and coverage when multiple lights may be needed across the property.

Before You Submit
A Practical Recommendation, Not an Engineered Lighting Plan
Solaraluma’s free recommendation is designed to help private property owners evaluate solar lighting for driveways, ranch entrances, barns, horse properties, private roads, workshops, and remote outbuildings. Our goal is to help you identify a practical fixture, starting quantity, and installation approach.
Please consult a qualified lighting professional if your project requires:
- Specific foot-candle or lux targets
- A formal photometric study or engineered lighting layout
- Code-compliant commercial, municipal, or safety-critical lighting
- Professional competition arena or sports-field illumination
For many private-property applications, this service provides a practical way to narrow down the appropriate product, approximate quantity, and mounting approach before making a purchase.
Helpful Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn what information to provide, what your recommendation may include, and when professional lighting design may be necessary.
Yes. There is no charge and no obligation to purchase. We review the property information you provide and send you a practical starting recommendation that may include suitable fixture options, an approximate quantity, and basic mounting guidance.
No. Approximate measurements are usually enough for preliminary guidance. Examples such as a 280-ft driveway, a 96 × 200 ft horse arena, or a 40 × 60 ft barn area help us understand the scale of the property.
Most complete requests are reviewed within 1–2 business days. We’ll send the recommendation to the email address included with your request.
We can suggest a practical starting quantity or quantity range based on the approximate dimensions, mounting height, desired result, terrain, and available mounting locations. For long driveways or properties with several lighting zones, we may recommend multiple fixtures and identify the areas that should be prioritized.
Photos are optional, but they can help us better understand the area, available mounting surfaces, shade, nearby obstructions, and possible solar-panel locations. When possible, include one wide view of the area and one closer photo of the proposed mounting location.
Solaraluma’s recommendation is practical product-selection guidance, not a certified engineering plan. If your project requires specific foot-candle or lux targets, code compliance, professional competition lighting, or a formal photometric report, consult a licensed lighting designer or qualified lighting professional.
A shaded fixture location does not always rule out solar lighting. A detachable-panel model may allow the light to be installed where illumination is needed while the solar panel is positioned in a nearby location with better sun exposure. The distance is limited by the fixture’s compatible cable length, so include photos and the approximate distance between the light and the proposed panel location.
Still unsure? Submit the information you currently have and select “Not sure” where available. We can review the details and let you know if additional measurements or photos would be helpful.
