How Many Solar Lights Do I Need? A Simple Way to Work It Out
The most common question we get is "how many lights do I need?". There is no single answer, but there is a simple way to find yours.
Step 1: list the places that need light
Gate, driveway, back door, parking, corners, paths. Write each one down.
Step 2: assign a size
- Gate, passage, kiosk: 1000W
- Compound, driveway, estate lane: 2000W
- Parking, yard, playground, entrance: 3000W

Step 3: check overlaps
If two places can be covered by one larger light, buy one 2000W (KES 12,000) instead of two 1000W (KES 16,000). If the places are far apart, separate lights are better.
Step 4: get a second opinion
Send a photo or sketch to us on WhatsApp and we will review your plan and suggest changes.
