6W Solar Street Light – EPISTAR LED | IP65 | Dusk to Dawn

Overview

The 6W Solar Street Light (Double Body Model 1118, 2 Window) is an all-in-one off-grid lighting solution designed for medium-narrow residential colony lanes, housing society internal pedestrian corridors, gated community access paths, rural panchayat village lanes, small parking bay perimeters, and farmhouse boundary tracks across India. Featuring 160 LED 5730 EPISTAR chips at a combined 60W output in cool white and a 3.2V 12Ah LiFePO4 battery rated for 8–12 hours (1 night) of illumination under ideal sensor conditions, the 6W Double Body 1118 delivers double the LED count and battery capacity of the 3W model while maintaining the same 50mm pole compatibility and IP65 weatherproofing. The 2 Window Double Body array extends beam coverage width compared to the 1 Window 3W variant, making the 1118 suitable for slightly wider colony paths and shared residential access zones.

LED Performance & Light Output

The Double Body 1118 integrates 160 LED 5730 EPISTAR chips — double the 3W model’s count — at a combined 60W output in cool white across a 2 Window array. The 2 Window optical configuration distributes light across a wider footprint than the 1 Window 3W variant, extending effective coverage to medium-narrow paths of 2–3 metres width and shared residential access zones in housing societies and gated communities. EPISTAR 5730 chips maintain consistent lumen output over the LED’s operational lifespan, a practical advantage for unattended outdoor installations that cannot receive frequent maintenance. At 60W combined output in cool white, the 1118 provides the contrast and brightness appropriate for colony pedestrian lanes, parking bay perimeters, and rural village main footpaths where the 30W output of the 3W model would be borderline for clear pedestrian visibility.

Battery – LiFePO4 12Ah Capacity & Backup

The 3.2V 12Ah LiFePO4 battery in the Double Body 1118 provides double the energy storage of the 3W model’s 6Ah unit, supporting the higher 60W LED draw across 8–12 hours of dusk-to-dawn operation. At 12Ah, the LiFePO4 specification provides a modest buffer against partial-charging days during India’s monsoon season, when consecutive overcast periods may prevent full battery replenishment from the 9W monocrystalline panel. LiFePO4 at 12Ah is measurably superior to the lead-acid batteries found in competing 6W solar lights on Amazon.in and IndiaMart — lead-acid cells at this capacity level degrade rapidly under the daily deep discharge cycles inherent to dusk-to-dawn solar lighting, typically requiring replacement within 12–18 months of installation. LiFePO4’s 2,000+ cycle life extends reliable operation to five or more years without battery replacement.

Body Build & Weatherproofing

The Double Body 1118 carries IP65 weatherproofing, certifying complete dust protection and directional water resistance. At 41 × 20.5 × 10 cm, the 6W Double Body is wider than the 3W model to accommodate the 2 Window 160-chip array, while maintaining the same 10 cm depth. The 50mm pole diameter compatibility covers the most common residential colony and municipal GI pole specification in India, enabling the 6W model to be installed on standard pole stock without pole modification. The slim 10 cm depth profile reduces wind load at the 3–4 metre installation height and maintains a compact visual presence appropriate for residential and light commercial outdoor environments across India. IP65 sealing protects internal components from monsoon rainfall, coastal humidity, and the high-dust conditions prevalent across inland semi-arid India.

Smart Controls & Operating Modes

The 1118 features the identical radar sensor and remote control system as the 3W model: OFF, ALWAYS, INDUCTION, and 2H, 4H, 6H timed modes. At 60W output, the sensor dimming (10% startup, 100% active, 15% post-motion) reduces average consumption to approximately 20–25W across a low-traffic overnight cycle, enabling 8–12 hour battery runtime from the 12Ah LiFePO4 cell. The 6H induction mode suits housing society main pedestrian corridors where peak evening activity (6 PM–midnight) warrants full brightness and a reduced-brightness standby mode through the remaining early-morning hours. The remote control enables facility management staff to adjust modes without physical access to each pole, reducing maintenance overhead in multi-light colony and society installations.

Solar Panel & Charging Efficiency

The 5V 9W monocrystalline solar panel in the Double Body 1118 is three times the rated wattage of the 3W model’s panel, providing the proportionally greater daily harvest required to replenish the 12Ah battery within 6–8 hours. Monocrystalline efficiency of 19–22% ensures reliable charging across India’s variable seasonal irradiance, including during monsoon-reduced sunlight and the shorter solar days of north India’s November–January period. The factory-integrated panel eliminates on-site calibration requirements, ensuring consistent charging performance across bulk colony and society installations managed by non-specialist maintenance personnel.

Installation & Mounting

The Double Body 1118 installs without wiring, trenching, or grid connection. The pre-assembled unit bracket-mounts to a 50mm pole at 3–4 metres height with no electrical connections. The 3–4 metre height range extends coverage to slightly wider paths compared to the 3W 1117’s 3-metre maximum, making the 6W model suitable for colony shared access corridors and society pedestrian main routes where path widths of 2–3 metres require greater pole height for uniform ground coverage. At 10 units per carton, the 1118 is procured efficiently for housing society common area lighting schemes and gram panchayat village lane tenders.
