Indoor solar lighting for South African homes
Indoor solar kits are useful when you need light away from a plug point, especially during loadshedding, camping or a power cut. Start with the number of lights you need, then check charging method, expected runtime and the product's indoor-use rating before you order.

Choose by coverage
A small kit can cover one immediate light point. Two or four-light kits let you move light between rooms, a study area, hallway or temporary living space. The products below are indoor-use kits; do not treat them as weatherproof outdoor fittings.
01 / ONE LIGHT POINT
A compact starting point for one bedside, hallway or small study area. The listed product facts are 1.7W, 120 lumens, 3.7V and IP20 indoor use. It also lists USB charging, so check the product instructions for the charging arrangement that suits your setup.

02 / TWO LIGHT POINTS
Two separate lights give you more flexibility when one room needs light and another still needs a usable path. The verified listing states 120 lumens per light, a 3.7V 2000mAh lithium battery, 3–4 hours at full brightness and IP20 indoor use.

03 / FOUR LIGHT POINTS
Four portable lamps make this the broader-coverage option for a lounge, kitchen, hallway or caravan interior during a power cut. The listing states a 10W solar panel, 120 lumens per light, 3 metre cables and IP20 indoor use.

Before relying on the kit
Place the panel where it can receive useful daylight. A dark indoor position may not provide the same charging conditions as the product's intended setup.
These three featured kits are listed as IP20 indoor products. Keep them away from wet areas and do not use that rating as an outdoor suitability claim.
Choose the number of lamps around the spaces that need light. Cable length and the position of the panel matter when you plan the route.
Runtime depends on the chosen product and brightness setting. The two-light listing states 3–4 hours at full brightness; check the exact product page for the kit you choose.
For a broader loadshedding backup range, compare the rechargeable lights collection as well as the portable LED lighting range.
Questions worth settling first
Charging depends on the panel receiving suitable daylight. Read the exact kit instructions and position the panel where it can gather useful light rather than assuming any indoor window will perform the same way.
Not as a general rule. The featured kits are listed for indoor use. For an exposed wall or garden, start with the outdoor solar lights collection and check the product's stated rating.
Choose by the number of light points you need during an outage. One light suits a single immediate area; two or four lights make it easier to keep more than one room or route usable.
