General information

If you have any questions or technical enquiries not addressed below, please feel free to contact us.

Can I use my existing solar panels that I have on my roof?

Unfortunately not. Redilight solar panels are manufactured specifically to suit Redilight Skyfixture™ and electronic equipment. Using unauthorised Solar Panels will void all warranties with Redilight.

Will Redilight solar lights work in dull UK weather

Definitely, even on dull and overcast/rainy days, Redilights work incredibly well.  We have a couple of short videos based on the demo system we set up in a residential home.

As you will see, they demonstrate that the Redilight solar light system delivers a lot of very bright light, even on extremely dull, dark and overcast days. In order to further test the system, the small, solar PV panel  was positioned in one of the worst places possible – on a north facing pitch, right down at the bottom, in a valley.  In addition, the property is located in woodland and is surrounded by tall trees.

We are therefore totally confident that the Redilight solar light system performs well wherever the panel is positioned.

What is the difference between 3000k Warm White & 5000k White light?

3000k warm white is a softer light on the eyes resembling more of an old incandescent light bulb. 5000k white is a clearer, whiter light that resembles daylight.

Can I dim the Skyfixture™ or turn them off completely?

Yes, Redilight offers a remote control option which gives you the ability to turn your Skyfixture™ on/off or dim them up and down. Click here to view

Can I also use the Redilight at night?

Yes you can; Redilight offers a Day/Night kit that allows you to use solar  power during the day and low voltage grid power for night time use. Click here to view our Day/Night option.

Can I add lights to my Redilight system later on?

A lot of Redilight customers initially purchase a larger sized solar panel which will allow you to add more Skyfixtures™ to your system later. Once you have a larger panel, you simply purchase a Redilight Skyfixture™ and install to your existing system.

What if my Redilight is too bright?

If you have a 24 watt or 48 watt Skyfixture™ you can reduce the wattage on the Redilight driver – Click here to see how. The other option is the Redilight Remote Control.

Can anyone install a Redilight?

Yes; any competent DIYer, handyman or local builder can install a Redilight.  They are classified as extra Low Voltage (DC), which means you don’t require an electrical licence. If you are using a Day/Night kit, you’ll need an electrician to wire up a power point / plug socket for the Day/Night power supply to plug into.

The small PV panel can be positioned anywhere outside, it doesn’t have to be on a roof, it could be mounted on a wall or even on the ground or on a post in the ground.

The cables involved are small and once the Skyfixtures are in or on the ceiling or wall it’s a case of finding how to run a single cable from the light fittings to the solar panel.  Sometimes this can be surface mounted and sometimes it may be possible to route it through voids and cavities or even out through windows or doors.

What is an IC-4 rating and why should I only use IC4 rated light fittings?

IC-4 is an Australian/New Zealand Standard surrounding Recessed Luminaires. Having an IC-4 rated luminaire installed is a far safer practice than having one installed without the IC-4 rating. If you are unsure whether or not your current installation meets the IC-4 standard, contact your installer today. For more information on the IC-4 Standard, please see the document by clicking here.

Do you have people to install for me if I can’t?

Redilight UK currently only covers the south west of England for installations.  However, installation does NOT require a qualified electrician as these are classified as low voltage systems.  Consequently any competent DIYer, handyman or local builder can install a Redilight solar light system.

What is the warranty on Redilight products?

Redilight is the industry leader when it comes to warranties. View our policy here – Redilight Warranty Policy

Do you have reviews I can read?

Yes, you can see customer reviews on our website by clicking here or by visiting the independent page of ProductReview.com.au

What makes Redilight the market leader; what's difference between Redilight and other brands?

Our warranties are what makes us market leaders. Generally other brands only have a 1,2,3 or maybe a 4 year warranty on their light fittings. Redilight has a 7 year warranty on our Skyfixture™. This is due to the high quality componentry we use along with our light drivers being manufactured in Brisbane, Australia.

Is it easy to install?

If you consider yourself quite handy, then yes, Redilight is simple to install. Otherwise we recommend getting a tradesperson / handyman to install.

Can I purchase direct, how do I purchase?

If you are a tradesperson and would like to see our trade pricing, please contact us. Retail purchases or DIY installations can be purchased through our online shop

I want to install 1 x 6 watt light, but can only order 2, why?

The 6 watt Skyfixture™ can only be installed in lots of 2 or 4 lights. This is due to the light driver being set at 12 watts or 24 watts. You can’t install 1 or 3 lights as you will overdrive the lights and void the warranty.
