SL5C 4 vs DEWENWILS 4

Four solar spotlights you stake into a bed against four wired floodlights. The SL5C 4 can show colour and needs no cable; the DEWENWILS 4 is far brighter per head but is white only.

SL5C 4

4 SPOTLIGHTS · 3 W EACH · IP67

Staked in the bed and aimed up at what you want picked out — a tree, a chimney, the end of a gable. Solar and self-contained, so it goes where there is no cable and nothing to trench, and the price of that is output: 120 lm a fixture accents a feature, it does not wash a two-storey wall the way a mains flood does. Runtime is the other honest limit. Owners in full sun report 12 hours; owners in shade report a few, and that is the complaint that comes up most. RGBTW, so it does real colour rather than a tinted white.

What differs	SL5C 4	DEWENWILS 4	Why it matters
Budget band	Budget	Budget	Same tier. We print neither number; the buttons above open the live listings.
In the box	4	4
Addressable zones	4	0	A zone is the smallest thing the app can colour on its own. Alternating schemes need one per light.
Per light	120 lm	540 lm	Brightness per point. More points at fewer lumens can add up to the same total.
Per fixture	3 W	14 W
Weather rating	IP67	IP65	The higher number survives more water. Anything under a gutter wants IP67 or better.

The differences that matter

Brightness: the SL5C 4 is 120 lm and 3 W a fixture. The DEWENWILS 4 is 540 lm and 14 W. The SL5C listing says that level accents a feature rather than washing a two-storey wall.
Colour: the SL5C 4 has 4 addressable zones and is listed as RGBTW. The DEWENWILS 4 has none and is 3000K white.
Power: the SL5C is solar and self-contained, with no cable to trench. Its product notes say runtime depends on how much sun the panel gets, so a shaded spot gives a shorter night. The DEWENWILS uses fast-lock connectors on a 15 in tail.
Weather rating: the SL5C is IP67 and the DEWENWILS is IP65, so the SL5C is rated for more water.
Beam: the DEWENWILS has a 70-degree beam on a head that swings through 270 degrees. The SL5C listing describes it as aimed up at a tree, chimney or gable end.
