Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters

The manufacturer specifies the key features of the SM100 as:

  • SM100 can be hung on the wall due to shape of metal stand.
  • Head-strap slots designed into the casing enable the SM100 to be worn as a head-torch for hand-free use. It can also be used for a la
  • nyard or used to strap the light to bags and clothing.
  • A flat base with two small skis allows the light to be used without the stand. The angle edge on the top of the housing tilts the SM100 downwards when used off the stand, ensuring light is directed down.
  • Due to its portable size the SM100 can also be detached from the stand and fits in your pocket.
  • SM100 can be used as a torch light when walking.
  • SM100 can be used as a study light and allows 360° rotation.

Vetted Performance Status

Lightning Global verified the following quality standards categories:

  • Truth in advertising.
  • Lumen maintenance.
  • Battery composition, protection and durability.
  • Physical ingress protection.
  • Water ingress protection.
  • Soldering and electronics workmanship.
  • Mechanical durability.
  • Minimum warranty terms.
  • Performance reporting.
 

Safety

If pressure is applied on the photovoltaic panel by sitting or stepping on it, the device might break and cause bodily injury or electrical shock. A minor risk of burns exists due to the heating of the photovoltaic panel's surface by the sun.
