Questions and Answers for GAMA SONIC Baytown II White LED Outdoor Resin Solar Post/Wall Light with Warm

A:  Yes, summer mode is brighter.

A:  No. Given full sunlight over the duration of daylight specific to the season, it will give one more or less hours of lighting, not brightness, until a recharge is required. The only difference one might see would be a dimming as the battery charge is drained to maximum depletion.

A:  I have tried it both ways and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I just left it on the summer side year round. It does help to clean globes and the solar panels a few times a year with a good glass or all purpose cleaner.

A:  Solar will never be as bright as electric, generally speaking.

A:  no

A:  It is beautiful and brilliant light at night I bought 3 years ago and still looks great!

A:  Our recommendation would be for you to consult Home Depo directly to see what discounts they could offer you toward your purchase of the GS-105-FPW-W as a military veteran!

A:  I did not get a military discount on line. I could not figure out how to do it.

A:  The best answer I could possibly give you would be, to contact the main office of Home depot to answer that question

A:  4 panels

A:  There are 4 solar panels. Love these lights!!! They are very bright are as bright as any traditional electric light. I have bought 10 of these. Love that they are resin, the black doesn’t fade and the plexiglass is great for around the pool. Just be careful because there is a warm white light and a bright white so that you get the one you want. Great purchase !!

A:  4

A:  Each lamp has four solar panels, one on each side of the 'roof' of the lamp. In the photo it shows as the black square just below the finial.

A:  4 panels on top. Enough to power the light all night on an average day of charging in Michigan.

A:  Mine is warm white. I have used it for few years already and still working

A:  Yes, light has the color of a traditional light bulb.

A:  Yes, it is really shines warm-white light.

A:  The light emitted is a rather bright white light, the intensity and duration is dependent on the amount of cloudless sunshine you receive during the day. Shorter days or cloudy days will eventually lead to less duration and may yield less intensity. If you need or want a warmer “yellowish” light, you will probably be dissatisfied. If you are OK with a cooler light with a good field of light, this should suffice.

A:  Great question about the GS-105-FPW. The best way to tell if you have the bright white unit is when you turn on the unit it will give you a clear light glow. The warm white unit will give off a yellow glow. Also another way to tell is when you take off the top of the unit and look at the bulb. If you look at the LED in the top and notice they are yellow then you have a bright white unit. If the LED are a orange color then you have a warm white unit. Again, thanks for doing business with Gama Sonic.

A:  If you look on Home Depot's website for this and scroll down you will see the dimensions under specifications. It is roughly 18" high and about 10" at the widest point. As for the lumens, this would be a low watt bulb equivalent. it gives off a soft light to mark an area but not enough light to illuminate a larger area. If you want more illumination, you should opt for a bright white LED instead of this warm white. I used these on stone pillars at the ends of my driveways so I could find the driveways at night as we don't have streetlights here. They give just enough light for this, for me. My neighbor has electric lights that are bright white and they are closer to a street light for illumination.

A:  About 90 watts on led.

A:  My closest guess is it's about 10" tall by 5 at it's widest point. I have had this light almost ,1.5 yrs. Am very pleased with it. My guess as far as illumination it is like a 50 watt ( which there isn't). I would buy again for another location. Looks pricey and u can't beat solar.

A:  Dimensions: 9.5 x 11 x 18 130 lumens is about 8-10 watts

A:  Lamps measure about 20” High and I mounted on 6 feet’s high by 24 “ wide Columns,they fit perfect and they have been working for a year with no problems ,they also last luminating the full night . How to convert lumens to watts How to convert luminous flux in lumens (lm) to electric power in watts (W). You can calculate watts from lumens and luminous efficacy. Lumen and watt units represent different quantities, so you can't convert lumens to watts. Lumens to watts calculation formula The power P in watts (W) is equal to the luminous flux ΦV in lumens (lm), divided by the luminous efficacy η in lumens per watt (lm/W): P(W) = ΦV(lm) / η(lm/W) So watts = lumens / (lumens per watt) or W = lm / (lm/W) Example What is the power consumption of a lamp that has luminous flux of 900 lumens and luminous efficacy of 15 lumens per watt (lm/W)? P = 900 lm / 15 lm/W = 60 W Luminous efficacy table Light type Typical luminous efficacy (lumens/watt) Tungsten incandescent light bulb 12.5-17.5 lm/W Halogen lamp 16-24 lm/W Fluorescent lamp 45-75 lm/W LED lamp 80-100 lm/W Metal halide lamp 75-100 lm/W High pressure sodium vapor lamp 85-150 lm/W Low pressure sodium vapor lamp 100-200 lm/W Mercury vapor lamp 35-65 lm/W Energy saving lamps have high luminous efficacy (more lumens per watt). Lumens to watts table Lumens Incandescent light bulb watts Fluorescent / LED watts 375 lm 25 W 6.23 W 600 lm 40 W 10 W 900 lm 60 W 15 W 1125 lm 75 W 18.75 W 1500 lm 100 W 25 W 2250 lm 150 W 37.5 W 3000 lm 200 W 50 W

A:  It charges during the day, and comes on at dusk. Not super bright, but haven’t had any issues with it. Just don’t expect brightness like one with a power source.

A:  Sort of, as long as it has had enough charge during the day, it will come on at dusk and stay on until the charge is disapated.

A:  Basically dawn to dusk because it has no setting - just a solar panel to power the light.

A:  Yes it is.

A:  Yes it is. We have had this lamp for a couple of years and we are extremely happy with it. Still works well and looks great.

A:  Because this is a solar light, it is charging during daylight, and then it automatically comes on when the sun goes down (so it's a dusk to dawn light). We've had this light for almost 4 years, and it still works great! On rainy days, like we have had continuously lately, the light might not come on at all. But as soon as it gets some sunlight, it works again. Ours still stays lit overnight from dusk until dawn if we've had a sunny day. We highly recommend this light!

A:  HI Relish, Yes, this light is dawn to dust operated. Gama Sonic USA

A:  You might try a PVC 2 x 3" reducer. It might work.

A:  You would just need a PVC or some other 3 inch to 2 inch reducer. I have this solar lamp and plan to convert it to electric whenever I get a chance to run the circuit. The solar light does not work very well on cloudy days.

A:  We put them on a 2” aluminum fence post. You would not use either of the attachments shown. It’s was a little tight but able to work it on the post.

A:  The lamp is designed for a 3" pole, a wall mount, or a flat mount for decks. I threw away everything but the pole mount, but I believe the flat mount was too big to mount on a 4 inch post. You could maybe look at the Newport Coastal 3 in. Cast Aluminum Pier Base which is also sold by Home Depot which seems like it would fit on a 4 inch post fairly well. As a side note, the lamp runs on one battery but it has a connection for a second battery which I just bought figuring it might make the lamp last longer. The battery is model number GS-32V15 and is also available at Home Depot. Good luck

A:  I used the round mount but I believe you are right about the flared mount. You would have to put in a mounting pad on the top of your post to make it work.

A:  Yes, if you use the optional mounting bracket and mount it on the side of the 4x4 post.

A:  You will have to buy an adapter as this is designed to mount on a round base as shown in the photos. I used this base: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Newport-Coastal-3-in-Cast-Aluminum-Pier-Base-7784-01B/100671520 which you would mount to your post and then mount the lamp base on it.

A:  I don’t know I have mine mounted on the house one on the left side and other one on the right side of my dining room windows I use the arm bracket. I guess you can put them where you want them you have 2 options. If you can use the screws to bolt it down it should work.
