Technical auditing of the Ellasay 6-Pack reveals a lifecycle limitation centered on the sealed battery unit. The internal 1.2V Ni-MH (AA size) cells are frequently soldered to the PCB, which prevents user-level replacement once the charge cycles are exhausted, typically within 12-14 months. Material science evaluation of the polycrystalline solar panel indicates that the protective layer is prone to UV-induced yellowing, which can reduce photon-to-electron throughput by up to 30% after a single summer season.
Performance metrics demonstrate a luminous flux of approximately 15-20 lumens, categorizing the unit as decorative rather than safety-critical. The trigger mechanism relies on a simple analog photocell/CDS sensor with no programmable logic. While the housing is rated at IP65, the seam of the clear plastic enclosure is a common point for condensation build-up, which can lead to terminal corrosion and circuit failure.
Aggregated specification data confirms this is a standard white-label ODM chassis. The internal Ni-MH chemistry is susceptible to "memory effect" and exhibits significant performance drops in sub-zero temperatures. The unit requires no wiring, but its energy harvest is strictly limited by the small surface area of the integrated solar collector.
- Luminous Flux: 15-20 Lumens
- Battery Type: 1.2V Ni-MH (AA)
- Solar Architecture: Polycrystalline Silicon
If your requirements include motion-activated security rather than constant decorative lighting, the Peasur 140 LED Motion Lights provide a higher-intensity, sensor-driven alternative.
These units are classified under the perimeter lighting decorative standards.
