Installation & Safety Disclaimer

SolarLight uses a roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) solar panel connected by cable to an LED ceiling light. It produces daylight-like LED illumination rather than transmitting natural sunlight. Brightness in solar mode varies with sunlight, shading and installation conditions.

Roof access, cable routing and ceiling work require suitable skills and safe access. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific model, roof type, mounting and weatherproofing. A cable entry or roof fixing may be needed; the required method depends on the property. Installation is not a guarantee against leaks.

Hybrid mains operation is model-dependent. Any new or altered fixed mains wiring, switches or power points must be installed by a licensed electrician. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the supplied driver and input-control equipment.
