20W Solar Garden Pole Light for Gates and Fences

This one exists because of a very common email: “I want light at the gate, but I cannot dig up the driveway.” It is an all-in-one solar pole light that sits on a gate pillar or a fence post, takes its own power from a 5V 25W panel, and asks for nothing except a bit of daylight.

The head runs 80 pieces of 2835 SMD SAN’AN LED behind a 180° beam, giving 3000 lumens. That wide spread is deliberate, because a gate light that throws a narrow spot leaves the actual gate in the dark.

Body is aviation-grade aluminium, AL6063-T5. Panel and battery are both rated for 25 years of service life, and the pack is a 3.2V 20Ah LiFePO4 rather than a small lithium-ion cell, so night three in a rainy week is not a problem.

Six Reasons This One Moves

• Fits where wiring cannot go: no cable, no conduit, no electrician on site. Fix it to the pillar and it works.
• 180° beam: covers the gate opening and the path either side, which keeps the dark corners away.
• 3000 lumens from 20W: a sensible match to the panel, so the battery is not asked to do more than it can.
• Aviation aluminium body: AL6063-T5 with good thermal conductivity, so the LED junction runs cooler and the light does not fade.
• Two colour options: 3000K warm or 6000K cool, decided at order, since gate lighting is a design choice as much as a technical one.
• Certified for tenders: CE, RoHs, SASO and IEC, which covers most import requirements and a fair number of project bids.

Technical Specifications

Installation is genuinely simple. There is no mains connection, so once the bracket is fixed to a post, gate pillar or garden pole the lamp is working. On a residential site a contractor can finish a whole street of these in a day.

The 4-6 hour charge in good sun is honest, not optimistic. In winter or in a shaded lane expect it to take longer, and order the model one step up if the site only gets morning sun.

Inside Our Factory

LEADRAY is a Shenzhen manufacturer of solar garden lights, fence and post lights and outdoor landscape fixtures. Founded in 2005, 300-500 people on the floor, 80-90% of production exported. Nothing here is rebranded from another plant.

We do our own mold work, die-casting, CNC machining and assembly, and the testing house is on the same site: aging test, waterproof and dust test, photoelectric parameter inspection and temperature cycling. Bulk orders are checked against the signed sample, not against a catalogue photo.

This IP65 pole light is one of our steady sellers for gate, fence and courtyard work in Africa, the Middle East, South America and Southeast Asia. Because we have shipped thousands of these into villa and resort projects, we can usually tell a buyer within one email whether a particular site will be happy with 3000Lm or needs the larger body.

We support logo, packaging and light-mode customization, provide lighting scheme suggestions and installation guidance, and back the product with a 3-year warranty. Distributors and landscape contractors are welcome to visit and audit the line.

Questions Buyers Usually Ask

Q1: Will it hold up on a gate post in direct rain?

The lamp is IP65 with an aluminium housing, and it is designed for exactly that position. What we would check first is whether the post gets any sun, because that decides charging, not the rain.

Q2: How many nights can it run without sun?

The 20Ah LiFePO4 pack is sized for normal nightly use with reserve. On a fully drained pack, expect one to two overcast nights before output drops, not a week.

Q3: Does the 180 degree beam waste light?

It does not have to. The head can be aimed, so the wide spread covers the gate opening and the approach path rather than the road behind the wall.

Q4: Are the certificates usable for tenders?

CE, RoHs, SASO and IEC documents can be provided with the shipment, which covers most import clearances and many public project bids.

Q5: Can I order a sample first?

Yes, and we recommend it. Samples usually ship in 3-5 days, bulk in 15-20 days, and customization for large landscape projects is quoted after the sample is approved.
