Der ILED-CS-A S12 ist die Solar-Fee-Lichterkette für Strecken, die die Standardlängen nicht abdecken: den langen Zaun, den kompletten Heckenverlauf, die Einfahrt und die Dachkante, die eine 5- oder 10-Meter-Kette mit drei Verbindungen abdecken müsste. Die Längenreihen reichen von 20, 30 und 50 Metern — 200, 300 und 500 LEDs — mit individuell gefertigten Längen ab Werk, passend zur gemessenen Strecke.
Die drei Längen, und Sonderanfertigungen
Der S12 20 führt über 20 Meter mit 200 LEDs in 10-cm-Abständen. Der S12 30 führt über 30 Meter mit 300. Der S12 50 führt über 50 Meter mit 500 — die Länge, die einen großen Baum umspannt und den langen Zaun in einem Stück abdeckt. Alle drei stellen die LEDs in 10-cm-Abständen auf, die Dichte, die als durchgehende Lichtlinie wahrgenommen wird, und das Werk fertigt individuelle Längen passend zum gemessenen Display, sodass Projekte nach Maß bestellt werden, statt kurze Ketten zu verbinden.
The solar side
The panel is a 1.2V 200mA unit — the largest in the family — charging the NI-MH 1200 battery through the day. Six hours of daylight charges the string for 6 to 8 hours of light, per the specification, and the working current is a steady 45mA. The photocell does the switching: the string charges through the day, lights at dusk and goes off at dawn. On the thin-sun weeks, the timer keeps the discipline — set it once and the string spends its 6 hours on the evening that matters.
The two-metre cable
The cable between the panel and the string is the quiet point of the design: the panel needs the sun, the string often needs the shade — the fences north side, the branches under the canopy. Two metres of lead let the two halves sit where each works, instead of forcing the panel to live where the display is. Set the panel on the stake or the wall with the sun, run the lead to the string, and the geometry of the garden stops being a constraint.
Colours, modes and control
Nine colours: white, warm white, yellow, green, red, blue, pink, purple and multicolour, ordered per theme. Constant lighting and one flash mode are standard, with eight flash models available as options. Control comes from the button switch on the panel for the basics, and the model table lists the remote with each length — set the colour, the mode and the timer from whichever the install uses.
Outdoors through the season
The string is IP65 rated — dust-tight and protected against water jets — and the wire is PVC per the specification, coiling back after the season. Keep the panel connections sheltered and the panel face clean; a dusty panel charges like a shaded one, which is the maintenance nobody tells you about until the August display dims.
Kur to izmanto
Long fences and driveways, where the 30 and 50-meter lengths run the line in one piece. Large trees and rooflines, wrapped from the trunk through the branches. Garden borders and hedge runs, marked with the string on the guide wire. Christmas displays across the whole frontage. And the wedding and event structures, where the custom lengths match the build and no generator follows the arbor. In each of these the pattern holds: the panel goes where the sun lands, the string goes where the display is, and the photocell and the timer do the nightly work without anyone remembering to switch anything.
Planning the long run
Tri wuessungen bestëmme d'Ordnung: d'Längt an der gemoossener Streck, d'Faarf un d'Thema an d'Panelpositioun un d'Sonn. Mooss de Zonk, de Däich oder d'Haie eemol, bestëllt déi Standard-Längt déi passt oder déi op Mass gebaut Variant déi perfekt passt, an placéiert de Panel do, wou den Dagelicht erreecht — de gëfte Deel vum Garden, de südewäite Rand, de Däich vun der Schopf. De 2-Meter-Freiwe gëtt vum Panel bis zur Schnouer geleeit, an d'Streck fänkt do un, wou d'Display ugefaangen huet, net do, wou d'Schleesfich just op den Dësch steet.
