Hykoont SZ300 Solar Powered Lights & 13' Pole Kit Review
In this video I review the SZ300 Solar Powered lights from Hykoont. Powered by a beefy 35w Solar panel and producing a hyped 60,000 lumens, does this two light kit offer enough brightness for you? Watch the whole video for complete details.
I cover the setup of the light and solar panel as well as how I tackled mounting the 13' pole kit from Hykoont. The two pair together quite well. In the video, I installed only one of the lights to the pole but it is very possible to install both lights on the same pole.
I've had the light up for a few weeks now and have been very pleased with the additional lighting it provides on my dark driveway. Its seems to last through the night without any issues provided we get decent solar production during the day.
The unit itself is well constructed made out of a metal finish that looks to be very resistant to the outdoor elements. You can mount it to the Hykoont pole kit or with your own hardware could attach to a building or wooden pole kit if you already have one available.
The SZ300 sports multiple settings you can find it will work well as a dedicated "always on" (from dusk till dawn) light pole or even as a motion-activated flood light in certain areas. They really brightly illuminate the area. While I didn't have a way of measuring lumen output, I definitely felt it was incredibly bright and didn't have the "feel" of a solar powered light that you sometimes get with smaller cheaper units. You can adjust the brightness down as well if you feel it outputs too much light for your needs.

    I am new to solar. Just purchased an Ecoflow Delta pro, extra battery, dual fuel generator and a smart panel. Next step is to purchase solar panels. I understand?, that i will only be able to wire three 400 watt panels because of voltage restrictions on the EcoFlow. Is their a method that i can wire six panels thru a limiting device to accomplish more wattage going into the Deltapro at off peak sun periods?

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc
      @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc 3 дні тому

      In your circumstance, you'll just need a couple of parallel branch connectors. You will wire three panels in series (assuming the VOC limit for 3 is within the DP's requirements) and wire another 3 in series and use the branch connectors to connect them in parallel. This will effectively double your wattage and in good sun should max out your DP input. If you need even more for cloudy days an hours when the sun isn't in optimal position, you can just add another array of 3 panels.

    It's to each generator or 6 batteries to all 3 generators. That's a bad thing. There should be 6 batteries to each generator that will make it something I would want or at least 4 batteries to each generator I like those batteries we should build a stack for on top of the generator.

    They kind of asked me. Give me more pictures of it. How to take one battery? You can hook 3 of them together. I don't like that. It only could take one battery. I like call it, put the battery on it. But I wish they did it sort of the other way where they had 2 battles beside it. But they could stack 3 batteries on each side to make it 6 batteries. Then it'd be worth something to me, but they asked me to investment to it. I don't have the money just yet. Friday I might be doing something like that. Or next week Friday. But the way it sounds like I got all. Of it, did you July 4th to do? When they actually come out with it, I'll be one of the first ones to get 1, then we'd have to figure out what all the corpses and stuff like that, so they can fix all that. So when they actually do start selling them. 4098 W is what echo floor told me and then you could put 3 of those Delta pros together, Delta pros 3 together.It sounds like they only take one battery.Each which does not sound very good to me.Especially when I want more power than that In watt hours.

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc
      @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc 8 днів тому

      If the SHP is set to single phase then the best way I could describe the behavior is that they alternate loads. It will take from one DP for a while and then take from the other trying to keep both in relative similar states of charge. Obviously, if the SHP is in split phase then it takes evenly from both DPs.

    They should have increased the higher voltage solar input. It is very common now to find residential panels with a 49 VOC. You can't do three series and certainly not four S. Example I have four 545 watt panels and with my DP I am forced to run them in 2S2P The max charge I see is 1400 watts on a good day.

      Agreed, the voltage specs on the inputs is very lackluster for 2024. At a minimum, both inputs should be 1,600w and similar specs. Would have much preferred to see one 450v and higher wattage input and perhaps another lower voltage input (similar to the ultra).

How would the Ecoflow charge with the car alternator charger connected to one of the ports in the back and the Smart generator plugged into the other? That would give me the benefits of the generator AND any 12 or 24 volt source....right?

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc
      @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc 8 днів тому

      Just to clarify one thing first, you're talking about using the Delta Pro without being connected to a Smart Home Panel right? Bottom line, yes, you should be able to "mix and match" DC and AC charging with the Delta Pro by connecting both the smart generator and either a solar panel array or the Alternator charger to the XT60i input. You may need to make sure you have the settings in the EF app correct so that it utilizes the smart generator (I believe default is 0-100%).

      ​@@DanielGoodwin-jq1oc No Smart Panel. Its on a Smart Hub which I have wired into my 200A panel with an interlock and an alert device when the Grid comes back up. I am working to address several possible needs.....even going mobile with it. I can have it all down and packed up in a couple of hrs....much faster with help. No permits! No sheit from the MAN. My system has elements of what you have done. As long as I can DC power that Delta Pros like I am set. The more sources the better. So with the Alternator Car Charger I at the very least I should be able to suck the life out of any 12v or 24V battery.....within reason🤣 They say they have made it for van life and I see very clearly a situation where someone would be using their Delta Pro for their major power source. When stopped, they should be able to connect their solar panels using the built in solar input. And connect their Smart Dual Fuel Generator to Expansion Port #1 on the rear of the Delta Pro. This allows DC charging from solar and the generator at the same time. This is important because the AC inverter will not operate while charging on AC; a non Ecoflow Inverter generator. In this example I KNOW there will be a storage battery.....other than the primary starting battery. The thing that makes this device so sweet is that is will also charge the battery it is connected to. I think that it should work on Expansion Port #2 along side the generator for they are both Ecoflow products and its output is DC to the Delta Pro; with the optional Smart Generator Plug. Word to the wise.....if folks have the Delta Pro...you better get multiples of these plugs because they'll be a single point of failure and Ecoflow is moving on to new stuff. SO if it is connected to the DC power of the vehicle it will discharge and charge a 12V or 24V battery. At the same time....which is freakin awesome if it works.😁 If not, I can swap out what i use. My Delta Pro's feed my house 240V at 30A. Each will have a Dual Fuel Smart Generator and a Alternator Car Charger. The generator on propane does 1600W and the Car Charger does 800W and around 800W of solar on a good day. Alternately, if the Delta Pro only allows one to be connected at the time, connecting the Car Charger alone at 800W....not perfect but it allows me to beg, steal, or borrow any 12V or 24V battery if the SHTF🤠🤠Feeding it into my system and never having to shut down the Queens' Air Conditioner😉😉 The things we do to keep peace in the Kingdom! 🤣🤣As long as the specs are within range. We'll See! It's on the way....along with my extra Smart Generator plugs and 2 24V 100Ah battery. If it works like I think I will have some really nice n fat 24V batteries charged up and ready to go. Rather than the Delta Pro Extra Battery. Although, if the Extra Battery is all that will operate on Expansion Port #2 along with something else, then I will also buy the Ecoflow batteries if the price comes down a bit....to dang expensive for what ya get. I will let you know. May take sum pics too.

    Does it make sense? No. Ecoflow has departed from the same thing that made them very successful --- the original Delta Pro and the Smart Home Panel (version 1). Guess what? The new Delta Pro 3 isn't compatible with the SHP1 nor is it compatible with the Delta Pro (version 1) but it is compatible with their Delta Pro extra battery with yet another firmware update/upgrade. That means if you bought into their ecosystem, you have basically use your delta pro main unit (not extra battery) as a boat anchor. Also, the new Delta Pro 3 is limited to the same 150volts as the Delta Pro ... therefore, you can forget about the higher voltages the AIO type units seem to be really focused on and manage to get 450-500volts. Their High voltage PV is 150V and the low voltage is 60V. Needless to say, I'm moving away from the whole ecoflow systems since I can see they aren't planning to really support "legacy" products that made them this successful. I'll move to the "DIY" type setup with tried and true low frequency inverters like Victron and rack type 48v batteries. At least I know in a year or two they won't be 100% obsolete.

    Sorry to find out on this potential issue related to my newly purchased and still hooking up and testing things with my PRO unit. My workaround concerning the issue is for me to connect the adapter cable into that connector and never unplug it for as long as I can. The unit came with an adapter cable and it has the standard solar panel MC-4 connectors so that is where I will go when disconnecting the solar input to my brand new unit. Hope your issue is not chronic in the entire brand family.

    Tested my brand new Delta Pro yesterday and the solar panels cranked the input wattage well into the 350s, BUT.... today's testing, in even stronger direct sunlight (i.e. 11am to noon instead of 4-5pm) had the display going all over the map, until all I had on the unit's display were DASHES (- - - -) and a stated charging time of 11 hours (rather than 1-2). What gives? No amount of unplugging, checking the connectors, etc. helped. And also, my EF app shows wildly different numbers from those on the panel (often 65W, then 245W, then 70W, then 128W, you get the idea). Thought I knew stuff!!

    dont really think this review is fair such solder feed mechinisems are a bit finicky need to help it though all the way first also soldering should be used with very specific applications like electronics and wire you cant just solder steel it is not welding for metals other than copper you need specific scids and a lot of heat to get it to stick

    paint too thick, should add up thinner LOL😂, think of tincan spray paint consistency, how you expect that thickened soup will come out of even 2mm Nozzle... Just IMHO, No prejudice

      You're not wrong, I definitely concur that thinning it would result in a much better performance. I wanted to see how it would handle un-thinned paint similar to how the Alloyman sprayer handled un-thinned paint. I think if you're willing to thin it out, this cordless model will work for you for sure.

    Has anyone had this issue with the Delta 2 Max? It has double XT60s, I'm hoping the attachment method inside is more secure.

      To my knowledge this issue only really exists on the Delta Pro. The other Delta units do not seem to exhibit similar behavior.

    One reason why people do not see those 1600 wats on their delta pro for example is % of state of battery in solar station. I made a charging curve for delta 2 on my 1kw version. I set maximum charging from 1,2 kw and check each % from 0 % - 100 %. From 75% charging curve is going lower till it reaches 100 %. So delta PRO can have similar charging curve that needs to me measured like I did with my delta 2. 0 % - 48 % 1,23 kwh 49 % - 74 % 1 kwh 75% 950 wat 76% 930 wat 77% 900 wat 78% 870 wat 79% 840 wat 80% 800 wat 81% 750 wat 82% 690 wat 83% 600 wat 84% 490 wat 85% 403 wat 86% 350 wat 87% 315 wat 88% 304 wat 89% 285 wat 90% 270 wat 91% - 94 % 266 wat 95% - 99 % 260 wat 99% - 100 % 235 wat

      It is holding up well! I just mowed my whole property this week and was asking myself the same questions. No issues so far, everything works exactly as it should. I've found at least for my property, I can really only mow properly in the "Control" mode. Sport mode is way too jerky and difficult to utilize. I still wish it had slightly better hill capabilities due to my rugged backyard but that's an inherrent problem in all zero turn mowers (gas or electric). Really nothing I'd change other than see if they could fit bigger rear tires on it. So, in short, yes still impressed and pleased with it. Its really nice to never have to mess with gas and hard starts in the spring.

      @@DanielGoodwin-jq1oc that's great. I like your review b/c your yard and terrain are a little similar to mine which is not a refined, perfect lawn. Lots of weeds, stick debris from trees, undulations but no big hills. Have you ever got it wet, maybe accidentally caught out in a downpour? Any trouble with lush areas of grass?

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc
      @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc 16 днів тому

      Not had a full-on downpour but did have some light rain as I was finishing up once. I think it would do alright in most weather conditions, at least as well as any riding mower. As far as thick grass, I've mowed some areas with a good foot-and-half tall thick lush grass when the spring growth spurt got away from me. That definitely bogged it down (as it would have my Cub Cadet X2). For that kind of mowing, I recommend setting the deck on the highest height. It will plow through the grass but you might have to hit some areas twice for a good cut.

    Do you always print PLA on your P1S closed? A lot of discussion online mentions printing PLA with the lid open, or the door open, or some combination of both. THats my main concern with picking up a P1S if I'm doing a lot of PLA printing

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc
      @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc 18 днів тому

      I typically print PLA with the door closed and lid on because it helps cut down the sound significantly in the small room my printer is located. That said, I have printed with the door open several times without any problems (usually just because I forgot to close it). Additionally, in the winter here in Iowa I will probably always print with the door closed to prevent drafts that might allow a little warping on the bed if the temp is too extreme. In all my PLA printing, I haven't seen an instance where having the door open or closed made too much of a difference. If a print fails it usually for another reason! Other filament types like PETG etc that equation might change a little. I print PLA exclusively so far.

    Hi Daniel, I have watched a few of your videos and liked them a lot, I specifically enjoy your DIY videos, Delta Pro, and solar vids. I watched this video, and was really impressed in that you were able to include so much content on this unit. While this would not have been a video I would normally watch, I thought I would give it a watch because I have seen some of your other videos. After watching this video I subscribed to your channel. Not because I really like watching video reviews on air dusters, but because you took the time to make a video on this. Keep on doing what you do, also keep those DIY, alternate methods of charging power stations, and solar videos coming.

    Is it meant to work facing down or up? I assumed it would only work horizontally and watered down...

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc
      @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc 20 днів тому

      It will work in either direction IF you adjust the intake "straw" to point in that direction. The intake is kinked at a probably 30 degree angle so if you point it towards the back of the cup it will work well when spraying upward and vice versa when spraying downward. You are correct in that your substance will need to be heavily watered down to spray consistently and evenly.

    It’s been terrible for me. It’s very right handed, and I use both hands. The trigger just sucks and the forward handle is asymmetrical for no good reason. The chain tensioner seems to have failed after using it for three battery charges. It pukes chain oil way too quickly. The telescoping clamp is way too loose and hard to keep tight. The balance is way awkward with the trigger handle on the battery.

    • @DanielGoodwin-jq1oc

    I have been playing around with this as well. I currently have (4s)x100 x (3p) all EcoFlow (not that it matters). I have two DPros pulling off same array. I ran this when my batteries were around 85% each limited to 95%. Each unit pulled 100% of the draw until it reached its limit of 95% then the other unit pulled until it reached its limit. This back and forth went on all day with some exception as it did split occasionally but without any noticeable cause. After dusk I continued to run my delta pros to feed about 70% of my houses power consumption during the evening. Morning came and (1) pro was down to about 54% and the other was at 65%. Once the sun hit the solar array (80 watts to start) the units went back and forth aggressively to a point that I unplugged one unit to allow a higher charge current once the sun was in a better position. Once I got to about 400 watts I plugged the other unit in. Over the course of 3 hours one unit took most all of the current. What was interesting is the other unit pulled slightly more than its draw even though that was a variable over that period of time. Example: if the draw was 80 watts it would pull around 82 watts. If the draw was 100 watts it would pull 102 watts. All the other current went to the initial higher drawing unit until it reached its limit of 95%. Then the other unit took the full charge current until it reached its limit then it went back and forth the rest of the day keeping the charge between 93%-95%.
