The 805 Class Solar LED Beacon is a self‑contained, economic and portable solar‑powered LED light source. The 805 Class is powered by a nickel metal hydride (Ni‑MH) battery, which allows the unit to operate up to 60 hours on a full charge. A full charge time is eight hours on a brightly lit sunny day. It comes with three super‑bright LEDs that have a life expectancy of up to 70,000 hours. Each unit features an auto/off switch that allows the user to turn off the unit when not in use. When the switch is in the auto position, the unit will automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn to preserve battery life. The lens and housing are constructed of a UV resistant polycarbonate.
