Cheap Solar Lights in Kenya: What to Check Before You Buy
Everyone likes a bargain, and cheap solar lights are everywhere: markets, online shops and roadside stalls. Some are fine for a small garden. Many are not. Before you buy a cheap solar light in Kenya, check these things.
1. Does it run all night?
Ask how many hours the light runs after a full day of sun. A light that goes off at 10pm is useless for security. Our motion-sensor lights dim to save battery and brighten on movement so they can last through the night.
2. Is the panel built in?
All-in-one lights have the panel on the unit, which means no cable to run or to steal. Split systems have a separate panel that needs a good position and cable between.

3. What is the sensor?
A radar motion sensor detects movement through its sensing area. Always-on lights waste battery. Motion lights save it and attract attention when someone approaches.
4. Is the pole and bracket included?
A cheap light with no pole costs more once you buy and fix a pole. Ours include the pole and bracket.
5. Who do you call if it fails?
Buy from a seller with a known address and phone number. Qyvea is in Westlands, Nairobi, and you can reach us on +254 113 301 244.
