Overview
The 3W Mini Solar Flood Light (Model 1211) is a compact, self-powered LED flood light designed for homes, rural households, balconies, small outdoor spaces, and emergency lighting needs across India. Equipped with a 5V 2.5W solar panel and a 3.7V 2000mAh rechargeable battery, it delivers 8 to 12 hours of backup illumination on a full charge. The built-in USB output doubles as a mobile power bank, making it an ideal off-grid lighting and charging companion. Whether you live in a housing colony, a village, or a farmhouse, this solar flood light eliminates the need for grid electricity entirely.
LED Performance & Light Output
The 3W Solar Flood Light features 180 pieces of high-quality 5730 SMD LEDs, known for their superior lumen output and long operational life. These LEDs deliver bright, uniform white light suitable for close-range outdoor illumination, corridor lighting, courtyard use, and small parking areas. The 3W LED power ensures adequate brightness for domestic and semi-commercial applications while consuming minimal battery capacity. With four distinct operating modes — High, Medium, Low, and Warning Light — users can adjust brightness as per requirement, maximising battery backup during extended power cuts or overnight usage.
Battery – 3.7V 2000mAh Capacity & Backup
The integrated 3.7V 2000mAh lithium-ion battery provides dependable energy storage for overnight use. On a full charge — achieved via either the built-in solar panel or USB input — the light delivers 8 to 12 hours of continuous operation depending on the selected mode. Low mode maximises backup duration, making the unit suitable for all-night lighting in low-traffic areas such as verandahs, storerooms, or rural pathways. Lithium-ion batteries offer a significant advantage over older lead-acid alternatives: they are lighter, have a higher charge cycle life, and retain capacity better over time.
Body Build & Weatherproofing
The 3W Solar Flood Light carries an IP65 ingress protection rating. This means the unit is fully protected against dust ingress and water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor installation in monsoon-prone regions across India. The compact body measures 18 x 18 x 7 cm and is constructed with a durable plastic housing available in a striking red finish. The built-in foldable stand allows the unit to be placed on flat surfaces and angled towards the sun for optimal solar charging without requiring any mounting hardware.
Solar Panel & Charging Efficiency
The integrated 5V 2.5W solar panel is capable of charging the internal battery during daylight hours without any electrical connection. Dual charging modes — solar and USB — ensure the battery can be topped up even on overcast days or when the unit is used indoors. In regions with 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight (typical across most of India from October to May), the panel can fully recharge the 2000mAh battery within a day. USB charging via a standard 5V adapter or power bank makes it versatile for urban and rural users alike.
Smart Controls & Operating Modes
Four light modes offer flexibility for varied usage conditions. High mode is best suited for task lighting and security purposes. Medium and Low modes extend battery life significantly and work well for ambient or nighttime corridor illumination. The Warning Light mode activates a flashing pattern — useful for signalling, camping, roadside emergencies, or alerting purposes. Mode switching is handled via an on-board toggle switch, keeping operation simple and intuitive even for first-time users.
USB Output – Mobile Power Bank Function
One of the standout features of this product is its USB output port, which allows the unit to charge mobile phones and other USB-compatible devices directly from the internal solar battery. This makes it especially valuable in rural India, where grid power availability may be limited or unreliable. During power failures, the 3W Solar Flood Light serves not only as an emergency light but also as a portable power source for low-power devices. This dual functionality distinguishes it from standard solar flood lights available in the same price range.
Installation & Mounting
Installation requires no electrical wiring whatsoever. The built-in foldable stand allows the unit to stand independently on any flat surface — windowsills, rooftops, balconies, or ground — and be tilted to face the sun for maximum solar gain. It can also be wall-mounted using the rear bracket slots. This tool-free, plug-free setup makes it ideal for renters, rural households, and locations without electrical infrastructure. The completely off-grid operation makes it a practical solution for villages, farmhouses, guard cabins, and temporary outdoor setups.
