Where the points went

The Solar Score weighs performance, build, value, safety and warranty. For a step light, safety means a stated water rating; the Kondras and NIORSUN state IP67 while the GIGALUMI states IP44. Four of the five state a warranty term. How we pick explains the weights.

Product Solar Score Perf. /35 Build /25 Value /25 Safety /10 Warranty /5
Kondras Motion Sensor 8-Pack 9.7 33 21 21 9 2
NIORSUN 6-Pack IP67 9.7 30 21 21 9 2

BKBB PPBB 8-Pack 9.6 29 19 21 8 2
GIGALUMI 6-Pack 9.5 27 20 20 6 0

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.

How to choose the best solar lights for outdoor stairs

Motion sensor or always on

Only the Kondras has a motion sensor: it detects movement at 10 to 26 feet within 120 degrees, runs at full brightness, then dims to 30% after 30 seconds of inactivity. The other four charge by day and run at night automatically. For the category, see our solar path and string lights guides.

Brightness stated

The Kondras states 550 lumens, the NIORSUN 60 lumens and the GIGALUMI 7 lumens. The BKBB lists a brightness figure of 10 with no unit, and the JEJOT states no brightness figure. Match the figure to how dark your stairs are.

Water rating

The Kondras and NIORSUN state IP67; the BKBB and JEJOT state IP65; the GIGALUMI states IP44. The Kondras also states an operating range of -25 to 60 degrees C. Higher numbers mean more weather tolerance.

Mounting

The GIGALUMI installs with screws and expansion screws, or double-sided adhesive that is not included. The BKBB and JEJOT offer tape or screws. The Kondras adds mounting sliders so a failed light can be swapped. All five charge in daylight.

Light LEDs per light Night runtime Warranty
Kondras Motion Sensor 8-Pack 10 Up to 12 hours 1 year
NIORSUN 6-Pack IP67 10 8 to 10 hours 1 year
JEJOT 6-Pack IP65 Not stated Not stated 1 year
BKBB PPBB 8-Pack 15 8 to 10 hours 6 months
GIGALUMI 6-Pack 3 8 to 10 hours Not stated

Sizing Notes

  • Count lights per pack: 6 (GIGALUMI, NIORSUN, JEJOT) or 8 (BKBB, Kondras).
  • Match the water rating to exposure: IP67 (Kondras, NIORSUN), IP65 (BKBB, JEJOT), IP44 (GIGALUMI).
  • Check the warranty: 1 year (Kondras, NIORSUN, JEJOT), 6 months (BKBB); the GIGALUMI states a limited warranty with no duration.
  • Note the contradiction: the GIGALUMI states a limited warranty with no duration, so we treat it as not stated.
