Solar Lighting Designs | Rectangle Solar Skylight LED Panel 1200x300mm 7020lm | 5000K Daylight
The Solar Lighting Designs SSL60-RECTANGLE is a solar-powered skylight alternative built around a 1200 x 300mm LED panel, delivering natural-style daylight without mains power, a light shaft, or batteries. It produces up to 7020 lumens at 5000K and lights automatically in proportion to sun hitting a remote 60W solar panel. A 15-metre cable links the solar panel to the LED head, so the SSL60-RECTANGLE lights corridors and long rooms a traditional skylight cannot reach.
Windowless corridors, narrow internal rooms, and long service spaces are dark by default, and a traditional skylight means cutting a shaft through the roof for every point of light. Mains-powered battens add a cable run, a switch, and an ongoing power bill for areas that only need daytime light. The SSL60-RECTANGLE avoids both: it needs no light shaft and no mains power, drawing its light from a roof-mounted solar panel instead. The 1200 x 300mm panel throws an even wash of daylight-style light along a corridor or across a wider room from a single fitting.
For the installer, the SSL60-RECTANGLE installs as a plug and play job with standard tools, with no mains connection to the LED head. The flush or surface mounting options let the linear panel recess into a ceiling or sit beneath a hard lid where recessing is impractical. With no switch, no battery, and no ongoing power cost, the fitting needs minimal attention once installed. The 15-metre lead positions the solar panel in full sunlight while the illuminated head runs the length of the space that needs light.
Features
- Solar powered operation — the SSL60-RECTANGLE runs entirely on a roof-mounted solar panel, with no mains power, no batteries, and no running cost.
- 1200 x 300mm LED panel — the linear light head spreads an even wash of daylight-style light along a corridor or across a wider room.
- 7020 lumen output — the panel delivers up to 7020 lumens in full sun, bright enough for hallways, sheds, and internal rooms.
- 5000K daylight colour — the 5000K colour temperature gives a clean, natural daylight look rather than a warm yellow tone.
- 15-metre cable included — the SSL60-RECTANGLE ships with 15 metres of cabling to link the roof panel to the LED head across different levels.
- Flush or surface mount — the linear head recesses flush into a ceiling or mounts to the surface where recessing is not possible.
- No light shaft required — unlike a glazed skylight, the panel needs no shaft cut through the roof structure, so it drops into any room.
- Automatic daytime lighting — the fitting switches itself on and off with the sun, brightening and fading in proportion to panel exposure, with no wall switch.
- SMD2835 LED source — the panel uses SMD2835 LEDs to generate its light output.
- Solar mounting hardware included — the SSL60-RECTANGLE includes the adjustable solar panel bracket, so the panel angles toward the best sun exposure.
- Brightness varies with sunlight — output drops on overcast days and at dusk because the light tracks available sun, and it does not operate at night.
Where to use
- Windowless hallways and corridors — the SSL60-RECTANGLE runs daytime light along internal passages and stairwells that get no natural light.
- Narrow internal rooms and bathrooms — long, thin rooms set away from external walls gain a daylight-style source without a window or skylight shaft.
- Commercial sheds and warehouses — larger work areas without mains lighting get bright daytime illumination from the 1200 x 300mm panel.
- Shipping containers and site offices — converted containers and demountables light up during the day with no power connection to arrange.
- Walkways and service aisles — linear circulation spaces suit the wide, even spread of the rectangle panel over a single centred point source.
- Off-grid and remote buildings — cabins, sheds, and rural structures without mains power suit the SSL60-RECTANGLE solar setup.
The SSL60-RECTANGLE is a daytime solar light and does not operate at night or in darkness, so it is not a replacement for switched mains or emergency lighting. Output depends on sunlight, so a heavily shaded roof or a panel position with poor sun exposure will cut brightness. The LED head is made for internal spaces; only the solar panel is intended to mount outdoors.
