Pontec PondoSolar LED Set 3 Pond Lights

Pontec PondoSolar LED Set 3 Pond Lights

Low-voltage lighting for ponds, fountains and garden features

The PondoSolar LED Set 3 brings useful after-dark lighting to ponds and features that are awkward to reach with a mains supply. A ground-mounted solar panel charges an integrated lithium-ion battery during the day, and three warm-white spotlights switch on automatically as the light level falls.

Unlike very small decorative solar markers, these are three 0.5W aimable fittings designed for continuous use above or below the water surface. Performance still depends on the panel receiving strong direct daylight; shade, winter sun and dirty panels reduce charging time and evening duration.

Verified technical information

Installation details that affect the result

• Face the panel towards the clearest area of sky and keep it out of plant shade.
• Charge performance will be lower in winter and during prolonged overcast weather.
• Keep all cable joins and the solar unit positioned as instructed; only the stated IP68 light fittings should be submerged.
• Keep the transformer and every non-submersible connection in the location specified by the manufacturer.
• Arrange cable runs before filling or landscaping so plugs and junctions remain accessible.
• Clean algae and mineral deposits from lenses with a soft cloth; abrasive pads can permanently dull the light.
• Use an RCD-protected outdoor supply and isolate the circuit before handling any light or cable.

Complete the lighting scheme

Combine this product with suitable fountain pumps, waterfalls or other fittings from our pond-lighting range. Use warm or neutral white light for a restrained natural effect, and choose RGB only where deliberate colour scenes are wanted. If reliable output every evening is more important than solar convenience, choose a transformer-powered PondoStar set.

Frequently asked questions

Can the lights be used underwater?

Only the components stated as IP68 may be submerged, and only to the depth specified in the instructions. Transformers, controllers and mains plugs must remain in their designated dry or weather-protected locations.

Can the LEDs be replaced?

These compact sealed light fittings use integrated LEDs. The lamp module is not treated as a replaceable bulb.

Will pond lights disturb fish?

Occasional evening lighting is normally used decoratively, but fish and wildlife still benefit from a natural dark period. Avoid leaving bright lights running throughout the night.
