GDlite GD-8017 Solar Light Kit

Not more bulbs — a portable lighting system that works on its own, runs on solar, and puts light where you need it.

What you need is light that still works when the power doesn’t — and light you can place exactly where you need it, without rewiring anything.

This is a complete portable lighting system: a rechargeable battery box + solar panel + 3 movable LED lights on long cables. Hang them in the kitchen, passage, and bedroom. Charge from the sun (or the wall). Use only the lights you need.

Multiple Problems Solved

• Only one weak light in the house → Light 3 different areas at the same time.
• High electricity use for basic lighting → Use free solar power during the day and reduce reliance on grid power for lights.
• Noisy, expensive generators for simple lighting → Quiet, low-cost lighting with no fuel and no fumes.
• Dark kitchen, passage, or bedroom → Hang a bulb in each space and switch them on individually.
• Hard to move around safely at night → Practical light where people walk and work.
• Need light outdoors or when camping → Portable kit you can take outside or on trips.
• Phone battery dies when you need it most → USB port for an emergency top-up.

Key Benefits

• 3 hanging LED bulbs with long cables for multi-room lighting.
• Individual on/off switches on each bulb — only use what you need and save battery.
• Charge from solar or 220V wall power — flexible and convenient.
• Lower lighting costs over time by using solar energy instead of only grid electricity.
• No generator, no petrol, no noise — simple and safe indoor use.
• USB port for emergency phone charging.
• Easy setup — no electrician required.
• Portable design — use at home, in the backyard, or when camping.

Real Everyday Value

Instead of buying another ordinary bulb, you’re getting a backup lighting system you control yourself.
Charge it with sunlight during the day, then use it at night without depending only on Eskom power. Over time, that means less electricity used just to keep basic lights on.

How to Use

1. Charge the battery box fully (solar panel or wall charger)
2. Plug in the 3 LED bulbs
3. Hang them where you need light
4. Switch each bulb on or off as needed
