Solar lighting is becoming increasingly popular with local authorities. However, it is still somewhat shunned by private customers, who are slowly turning to this new lighting method. Indeed, it suffers from a bad reputation, due to the poor performance of some solar luminaires, and their dependence on sunshine and the weather. As a result, many French people are turning away from solar energy to light their gardens. And yet, there are solar-powered luminaires that beat all records for power output, and offer a rendering similar to 230 V. Doubtful? Want to find out more? Focus on Lumihome's new SUN 1,000 range.
How does solar lighting work?
To fully understand the benefits of Lumihome's new SUN 1,000 range, it's important to remember the basics of solar lighting. Made up of photovoltaic panels and batteries, solar lamps capture and store sunlight during the day, then produce luminosity as soon as night falls. It goes without saying that the brighter the light, the more efficient it will be. But Lumihome has equipped its SUN 1 000 range with a UV booster, which improves battery recharging even when the weather's not so good. So, even if your region is known for its mixed weather, it's perfectly possible to equip yourself with solar lights.

The benefits of solar lighting
Why choose solar power to illuminate your outdoors? Quite simply because this system is full of advantages. Solar lighting is :
- Ecological: it uses the sun's natural, inexhaustible energy to light your garden.
- Economical: thanks to sunlight, you'll see a significant reduction in your energy bill.
- Easy to install: was the lighting poorly thought out during the construction of your home? Or do you simply not feel like going to the expense of installing a lighting system? Solar power is for you. All you have to do is plant your bollard or attach your outdoor wall light with a simple drill, and you're ready to light up your outdoors.
- Effective: sweep away clichés and preconceived ideas with Lumihome solutions. The power of the SUN 1,000 range is unprecedented for a solar solution.
- Easy to maintain: to look after your solar lights, a little regular cleaning and a close eye on the battery are all you need.

Lumihome SUN 1000 range: ultra-powerful solar lighting
Solar performance
What sets Lumihome's SUN 1 000 range apart from other solar-powered luminaires on the market is above all its high performance. "This new model marks a major evolution in our patented recharging system. So why "Sun 1 000"? Quite simply because, thanks to the combination of the new-generation Li-Ion battery and the monocrystalline solar panel, the solar bollards and wall lights in this range can deliver power of up to 1,000 lumens, at 360°," explains Christophe Coelho. The constraint of location is also swept aside, since Sun 1,000 luminaires feature a UV amplifier, perfect for optimizing battery recharging even in difficult weather conditions."
A range built to last
The major disadvantage of solar lighting is its short lifespan, due to poor-quality materials that can't withstand external conditions for long. And yet, it's important to ensure the robustness of your solar lighting. Designed for outdoor use, it will have to withstand humidity, wind and many other aggressions. SUN 1 000 bollards and wall lights are made of stainless steel and, like most of the brand's luminaires, have an anti-corrosion surface treatment. So, whether you live in the countryside or by the sea, Sun 1 000 bollards and wall lights will fit right in thanks to their high resistance to salty air. CE, LVD, EMC and RoHS certified, they also feature a high-quality reflector that retains its transparency despite repeated exposure to the sun's rays. No more lights that fade over time, affecting the aesthetic appearance of your garden. TheSUN 1000 bollard and wall light are built to last.

100% self-sufficient luminaires
Solar lighting is self-sufficient, and that's one of its main advantages. But the Lumihome SUN 1,000 is much more than that: it's also independent. In fact, it's equipped with a motion detector and 3 lighting modes that guarantee automatic switch-on when presence is detected. This means you can enjoy 150 lumens of permanent light all night long, or 800 to 1,000 lumens that switch on automatically when movement is detected in your home. A solar-powered light capable of ensuring the safety of your exteriors thanks to its power - that's unheard of!
Solar-powered bollards or wall lights: the choice is yours
And because every luminaire has its own specific needs, the SUN 1,000 range is available as solar-powered bollards and wall lights. So you can take advantage of the power and benefits of solar energy to mark out a pathway, illuminate an entrance porch, or light up your terrace. Designed in stainless steel, SUN 1,000 bollards and wall lights boast a sober style and contemporary lines that will blend in with any garden. "Whether your exterior is modern or rather traditional, SUN 1000 solar lights blend into the decor with ease and naturalness. And, whichever model you choose, you'll also benefit from simple installation and maintenance reduced to regular dusting of the solar panel, to preserve all the collector's performance."
