Q: What is the recommended screw size for installing the STEINEL Xsolar SOLO S?

The STEINEL Xsolar SOLO S comes with 2 screws and 2 plugs specifically designed for outdoor wall installation. However, the manual does not specify the exact screw size in millimeters. For this type of solar light, standard screws are generally M5 with a length of 35 to 40 mm , but this may vary depending on the material of your wall (wood, concrete, brick, stone). The provided plugs are designed to fit these dimensions. If you need to order replacement screws or buy additional ones, here are the key points to follow: Material: use only stainless steel (A4 or A2 minimum) to ensure optimal resistance to rust and weather when installed outdoors Screw head: prefer a screw with a rounded or flat head compatible with a standard screwdriver Length: approximately 35 to 40 mm depending on the depth of the provided wall support Compatibility: use the plugs provided in the kit, or purchase plugs that match the diameter of your replacement screws For installation, tighten the screws firmly through the wall support without over-tightening to avoid damaging the durable plastic of the light fixture. If you need the exact specifications (precise diameter, exact length), contact STEINEL customer service providing the model number Xsolar SOLO S and your order reference: they will be able to confirm the size of the original screws.
