How do I choose the right size for my gate post or pillar?
The Small size suits slim timber or metal fence posts and compact brick pillars where a proportionate, unobtrusive cap is needed. Medium fits a standard residential gate post with confident presence. The Large size is designed for substantial stone or rendered entrance pillars where the fixture needs to read at scale. Particularly effective on grander driveways or formal entrances.
What is the difference between solar, plug-in, and the hybrid option?
Solar operates entirely on the sun. No cables, fully self-sufficient, ideal for pillars where running power is impractical. Plug-in connects to a mains supply for consistent, weather-independent brightness. The Solar + Plug option is the most reliable choice: it charges via solar as primary and draws from the mains when solar alone is insufficient, ensuring the Polaris is never dark during extended overcast periods.
Is the Polaris suitable for coastal or exposed locations?
The marine-grade stainless steel construction makes the Polaris particularly well suited to coastal environments where salt air and moisture would degrade lesser materials over time. Sealed to IP65, it is rated for year-round outdoor exposure in even challenging conditions.
How does the automatic activation work, is there a manual switch?
The Polaris uses a built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor that switches the light on automatically as the sky darkens and off again at sunrise. There is no manual switch on the unit itself. It simply responds to the changing light and keeps the entrance illuminated through every evening without any intervention.
What color temperature does the Polaris emit and is it adjustable?
The Polaris emits a candle-warm frosted glow. A soft, even tone that avoids the harsh or clinical quality of cooler whites and suits the welcoming character of a residential entrance. The color temperature is fixed by design to maintain that consistent warmth night after night.
