Power Outages in Kenya: How to Keep Your Compound Lit
Whether it is a fault, maintenance or a storm, power cuts leave compounds in the dark, exactly when security matters. Here is how to stay lit.
The problem with wired lights
Outdoor lights wired to your meter go off when KPLC does. A thief who knows your area will know when the lights fail.
Options
A generator works but needs fuel and noise. An inverter system powers indoor loads. Stand-alone solar lights run on their own panel and battery, so the outside stays lit.

What to light first
The gate, the back door and the parking. A 1000W or 2000W covers most compounds.
Test it
Do not wait for a blackout. Check at dusk that the lights work, and keep the remote handy.
Frequently asked questions
Do solar lights work when there is no KPLC?
Yes. They do not depend on the grid.
How long will they last in a long outage?
The outage does not affect them. Weather and battery size decide runtime.
