As a leading outdoor lighting company with 10 years of experience, FSI (Fresh Source International) recently launched its 2024 solar garden light series, focusing on "efficiency, intelligence, and sustainability" across three major scenarios: security, path lighting, and wall decoration. Data shows that the global solar garden light market is expected to exceed $3.2 billion in 2024 (CAGR 8.7%). With its R&D center in Shenzhen and dual manufacturing facilities in China and Cambodia (annual production capacity of 3-5 million sets), FSI has become the preferred supplier for international retailers such as Costco and Lowe’s.
Representative Model: AMS983 (High-Efficiency Thin Film Solar Version)
●Core Technology: 165×133mm thin-film solar panel (30% more efficient in low-light conditions), dual 2000mAh lithium-ion batteries, 180°/21m ultra-wide motion detection range
●Scenarios: Corners, eaves, garage entrances, with 30/60/120-second delay off function and IP65 waterproof rating for rain and snow
●Innovation: Compared to traditional monocrystalline panels, the AMS series generates 45% more power on cloudy days, and it was rainy for 3 consecutive days and still worked normally.

► FSI is the industry’s first and most experienced manufacturer specializing in thin-film solar cells. While thin-film lags crystalline in conversion efficiency, it excels in low-light and diffused-light conditions, generating 9-30% more power than crystalline at the same wattage. This offers greater flexibility for installation angles/locations, making it ideal for cloudy regions (e.g., the UK).
► Crystalline silicon has seen rapid cost reductions and improved low-light performance in recent years. Combined with its high efficiency, it now poses strong competition.

Representative Model: DDS201 (DIY Linkable Version)
●Highlights: 128×77mm solar panel, 1500mAh battery, supports D2D (dusk-to-dawn) + RGBW four-color gradient, single light covers 1.5m path
●User Case: Boston user Sarah shared: "Linked 10 DDS201 lights, customized warm yellow for weekends and cool white for weekdays via APP, kids are no longer afraid of walking at night."
●Data: IP65 waterproof, operates in -20℃ to 50℃, 4 hours of daily charging provides 12 hours of continuous lighting (low brightness mode)
Model: ACA982 (Security Upgrade Version)
●Black Technology: 1080P@20fps real-time monitoring, 120°/21m motion detection, WiFi direct connection to mobile phone, supports "automatic recording + sudden light brightening" when motion is detected
●Scenarios: Backyards, pool areas, triggers light and recording when intruders are detected at night, sends alerts to homeowners' mobile phones in real-time
FSI’s Cambodia factory uses 100% photovoltaic power, thin-film solar panels have a lifespan of 8 years (compared to 5 years for traditional monocrystalline panels), and all products are BSCI and CE certified. Take BMS117 as an example; its 168×48mm solar panel is recyclable and biodegradable, and packaging uses 60% recycled paper, reducing carbon footprint by 37% compared to 2020.
"We’re not just selling lights; we’re creating an 'anxiety-free' outdoor experience." — John Smith, FSI’s North America Sales Director
FSI’s solar lights exceeded sales expectations by 40% in Walmart pilot programs in 2023. In 2024, 12 new "DIY easy-install" designs will be added (such as the magnetic wall light BMS221). Industry analysts note: "FSI’s advantage lies in 'technology accessibility'—bringing commercial-grade thin-film solar technology to the household market, making high-end security and aesthetic lighting affordable."
Experience It Now: Visit FSI’s official website for a virtual product showroom. In spring 2024, FSI has debuted a solar courtyard lighting set at the KBIS Fair in Las Vegas (Booth N2345). Stay tuned!
