Solar Street Light or Solar Flood Light for Your Home?

By Qyvea Limited · Updated 20 October 2026 · 2 min read

For home use, both can work. Here is how to decide quickly.

Choose a street light if

You want to light a driveway, a long path or a wide compound from a pole, with a built-in panel and a motion sensor.

You want to light a wall, a building front or one fixed area from a wall mount.

Motion-sensor solar lights with the pole included. No wiring, no power bill. Pick your size:

A 1000W or 2000W all-in-one solar street light on a wall or pole covers most homes. See our solar security lights for homes page.

The all-in-one street lights range from KES 8,000 to KES 17,000. Flood lights vary widely. Compare what is included.

In short: For most homes, a 1000W or 2000W all-in-one on a wall or pole is the simplest.

Can I mount a street light on a wall?

Yes, with the bracket and good fixing.

Which is easier to install?

A wall-mounted all-in-one.
