SL5C 4 vs LEONLITE 6

The solar SL5C 4 can change colour zone by zone, while the LEONLITE 6 is a plain white set that needs a transformer. If you want colour and no trenching, only one of these two does it.

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.

LEONLITE

LEONLITE 6

6 SPOTLIGHTS · 5 W EACH · IP65

5 W integrated LED at 3000K and CRI 90, 45-degree beam, oil-rubbed bronze aluminium housing. Runs on 12-24 V, so it needs a transformer you buy separately. The LED is sealed in: when it goes, the fixture goes.

What differs	SL5C 4	LEONLITE 6	Why it matters
Budget band	Budget	Budget	Same tier. We print neither number; the buttons above open the live listings.
In the box	4	6
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	not stated	Brightness per point. More points at fewer lumens can add up to the same total.
Per fixture	3 W	5 W
Weather rating	IP67	IP65	The higher number survives more water. Anything under a gutter wants IP67 or better.

The differences that matter

Colour: the SL5C 4 has 4 addressable zones, one per light, and is listed as RGBTW. The LEONLITE 6 has none and is 3000K at CRI 90.
Power: the SL5C is solar and self-contained. The LEONLITE runs on 12-24 V and needs a transformer bought separately.
Count: 4 lights against 6, in the same cost tier.
Output: the SL5C is 120 lm and 3 W a fixture, and its listing says it accents a feature rather than washing a two-storey wall. The LEONLITE lists 5 W and gives no lumen figure.
Weather and repair: the SL5C is IP67 and the LEONLITE IP65. The LEONLITE's product notes add that the LED is sealed in, so the fixture goes when the LED does.
