Philips LED Solar Wall Light Frosted 225 Lumen Shroud SR with PIR Sensor - 2.3W, IP44

Same light, softer delivery. The frosted Shroud SR diffuses its 225 lumens through a frosted lens, which spreads the light more evenly and takes the hard edge off it — the better choice where people will look directly at the fitting, such as a patio, a balcony or a doorway at head height. The integrated PIR motion sensor keeps it dark until something moves, which is what allows a fitting this bright to run all night on solar. At 2.3W and IP44 it handles an exposed wall through the rainy season, and there is no wiring at all for either the light or the sensor. It also looks better switched off than most sensor lights do, which matters on a wall you see every day: frosted glass reads as a decorative fitting rather than as security equipment bolted to the plaster.

Specifications

Buying guide

Frosted versus clear comes down to whether the fitting is in your eyeline. At a doorway, on a patio or anywhere at head height, frosted is the more comfortable choice because the diffusion removes glare; for lighting a path or driveway from higher up, clear gives a sharper, more directed light. Everything else is identical: 225 lumens, 2.3W, PIR, IP44. The sensor is what makes this brightness practical on solar, so treat it as a triggered light rather than an evening-long one — if you want continuous ambience, the Vynce or Vapora fittings are the ones for that. Mount the sensor to look across the approach rather than along it, at a height that catches people not animals. Check midday shade before drilling, wipe the panel and the sensor lens monthly, and keep vegetation clear of both.

How it compares

Against the clear Shroud SR, identical performance with a softer, diffused output — choose frosted where the fitting is in your eyeline. Compared with the always-on Vynce and Vapora, those give continuous ambience at 200 lumens while this triggers on movement at 225. Against the 100-lumen BWC025 and BWC055 PIR lights, this is more than twice as bright in a better housing. Against the Nysil security light at 850 lumens and IP65, that is for genuine security on an exposed compound.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose frosted or clear?
Frosted where the fitting sits in your eyeline — a doorway, patio or balcony — because diffusion removes glare. Clear for lighting a path or driveway from higher up, where a sharper directed light helps.

Does it stay on all evening?
No, it triggers on movement. That is what lets a 225-lumen fitting run all night on solar. For continuous evening light choose the Vynce or Vapora fittings.

Is it suitable for the rainy season?
Yes — IP44 and weather-resistant, rated for splashing water and wind-driven rain on an exposed wall.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes — same-day delivery within Nairobi and countrywide shipping to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and beyond, with payment by M-Pesa or on delivery.
