24W Solar Street Light – 12-16Hr Backup | 610 LED | IP65

Overview

The 24W Solar Street Light (King Model 1242) is an all-in-one, off-grid solar lighting system designed for housing colony main internal roads, housing society primary access streets, gated community boulevard lighting, rural panchayat main village roads, large parking lot perimeters, and farmhouse estate access roads across India. Featuring 610 Pcs 0.5W LED chips at a combined 300W output in cool white and a 3.2V 25Ah LiFePO4 battery providing 12–16 hours of illumination at installation heights of 4–6 metres, the King Model 1242 delivers a lighting duration that exceeds the 8–12 hour standard common among competing all-in-one solar street lights at equivalent wattage on Amazon.in and IndiaMart. A 5V 25W monocrystalline solar panel, IP65 weatherproofing, radar motion sensor, and wireless remote control are integrated into a single pre-assembled housing for no-wiring pole-top installation on 55mm diameter poles.

LED Performance & Light Output

The King Model 1242 integrates 610 Pcs 0.5W LED chips at a combined 300W output in cool white. This chip count is among the highest available in the Indian all-in-one solar street light market at the 24W wattage tier, where competitors on IndiaMart and Amazon.in typically list 100–300 chip LED arrays. The 0.5W per chip distribution across 610 chips spreads thermal load uniformly across the LED board, reducing junction temperatures and maintaining lumen output over the LED array’s operational lifespan — a relevant consideration for unattended outdoor installations in India’s high-ambient-temperature regions. At 300W combined LED output in cool white, the 1242 delivers the road surface luminance appropriate for 4–6 metre mounting on medium-to-wide colony internal roads and housing society primary access streets, where road widths of 5–8 metres require high-output, broadly distributed illumination for both pedestrian and slow-moving vehicle safety.

Battery – LiFePO4 25Ah Capacity & Backup

The 3.2V 25Ah LiFePO4 battery in the King Model 1242 enables the 12–16 hour lighting specification that distinguishes this model from the majority of 24W all-in-one solar street lights available in India. At 25Ah capacity, the LiFePO4 battery stores sufficient energy to power the 300W LED array — in conjunction with the radar sensor’s intelligent dimming — across 12–16 hours of nightly operation under ideal sensor conditions. This extended backup is directly relevant to Indian buyers evaluating solar street lights for housing society main roads and panchayat village road lighting, where lights are expected to operate from dusk (typically 6–7 PM) to dawn (5–6 AM) and failures before dawn are a common complaint about shorter-backup competing products. LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) at 25Ah maintains over 80% capacity across 2,000+ charge-discharge cycles — more than five years of daily operation — compared to the 300–500 cycle lifespan typical of lead-acid alternatives at comparable capacity, making it the appropriate chemistry for long-life common area and municipal road lighting installations.

Body Build & Weatherproofing

The King Model 1242 carries an IP65 weatherproofing certification, confirming complete dust ingress protection and resistance to directional water jets. IP65 is the recommended minimum outdoor lighting standard for year-round deployment across India’s diverse climate conditions — from the heavy-rainfall zones of Kerala, the Western Ghats, and north-east India to the high-dust, high-UV semi-arid environments of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and western Madhya Pradesh. At 65 × 38.5 × 10 cm, the King Model 1242 has the widest flat-panel footprint in the standard LumenCity all-in-one range up to this wattage tier, accommodating the 610-chip LED array within a sealed housing. Pole diameter compatibility is specified at 55mm — the standard Indian municipal and semi-commercial solar street light pole diameter, covering the GI poles used in housing society, colony developer, and panchayat road lighting projects across India. The 10 cm depth maintains a low-profile, slim-panel aesthetic appropriate for the 4–6 metre residential-to-commercial installation height range.

Smart Controls & Operating Modes

The King Model 1242 is equipped with a radar motion sensor and a wireless remote control supporting a comprehensive set of operating modes. The sensor operates at 10% optical brightness as the initial standby level, triggers to 100% brightness on motion detection, and holds at 15% brightness for 30 seconds after motion ceases — the same three-state dimming sequence used across the LumenCity all-in-one range. At 300W combined LED output, this dimming sequence is critical for achieving the 12–16 hour battery runtime; without sensor management, continuous 300W draw would exhaust the 25Ah LiFePO4 battery in approximately 6 hours, well short of a full dusk-to-dawn cycle. Dimming reduces average nightly consumption to approximately 40–60W on low-to-medium traffic colony roads, enabling the 25Ah battery to achieve 12–16 hour operation under ideal conditions. Remote modes include OFF/ON, AUTO (motion sensor dusk-to-dawn), RADAR (full auto motion mode), and timed modes at 3H, 5H, 4+4H (4 hours full brightness, 4 hours induction), and 4+6H as specified on the remote image. This timed configuration flexibility is specifically relevant for housing society main road lighting, where full brightness is required for the 6–10 PM peak period and reduced-mode operation through the night.

Solar Panel & Charging Efficiency

The 5V 25W monocrystalline solar panel integrated into the King Model 1242 charges the 25Ah LiFePO4 battery within 6–8 hours of direct sunlight. Monocrystalline silicon cells achieve conversion efficiencies of 19–22% under standard test conditions, outperforming polycrystalline alternatives at equivalent panel surface area in both full-sun and diffused-light conditions. The latter is particularly relevant during India’s June–September monsoon season, when overcast days reduce irradiance and competing polycrystalline-equipped solar street lights frequently fail to achieve full battery recharge. At 25W rated panel output, the solar harvest-to-battery capacity ratio for the King Model 1242 is correctly calibrated for the 12–16 hour backup claim across most Indian solar zones — a ratio that is not always observed in competing 24W solar street lights on Amazon.in and IndiaMart, where under-sized panels are sometimes paired with extended backup claims. The factory-integrated panel orientation removes on-site tilt adjustment requirements for project-scale deployments.

Installation & Mounting

The King Model 1242 is designed for installation without external wiring, underground cable trenching, or grid connection. The fully pre-assembled unit mounts on a 55mm diameter pole at 4–6 metres height using the included bracket. The 55mm pole specification is the most common diameter for residential colony and municipal solar street light poles in India, enabling the King Model to be installed on existing standard pole infrastructure without bracket modification. At 4–6 metres height, the 1242 is positioned for colony main road lighting and housing society primary access road applications where maximum coverage at medium mounting height is the specification requirement. The off-grid design eliminates the civil works cost of underground power cable to each pole — the largest single cost component in conventional street lighting projects — making the King Model 1242 commercially viable for new township development primary road lighting, rural panchayat main road schemes, and housing society common area infrastructure upgrades. Supplied at 3 units per carton.
