Solar Modules with Continuous Light Mode for Cemetery Lanterns
More than standard solar charging: continuous lighting, USB and 18650 battery options
Standard solar grave lights usually charge during the day and switch on automatically after dark. Selected Glowyard square solar modules can also offer a continuous-light mode, allowing the user to activate the LED manually instead of relying only on the dusk sensor.
This solution is particularly suitable for premium grave lanterns, display products, decorative housings and OEM projects where the customer wants more control over when and how the light operates.
Depending on the model, the module can combine a solar panel, 18650 lithium-ion battery, LED light source, controller, touch switch, brightness adjustment and USB charging port. These solutions are designed primarily for grave lanterns, larger cemetery housings and private-label product development.









Solar Mode and Continuous Light Mode – Two Functions in One Module
Selected modules can operate in two different modes, giving one product more flexibility than a standard solar lantern.
| Operating Mode | How It Works | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Solar mode | The panel charges the battery during the day and the dusk sensor automatically activates the LED after dark. | Daily cemetery use and standard retail products. |
| Continuous light mode | The LED can be switched on manually, independently of the automatic night mode. | Product display, temporary lighting, user control and premium product collections. |
Important: continuous-light mode uses more energy. Actual operating time depends on LED brightness, battery capacity and the available charge. For OEM projects, we match these parameters to the lantern size and intended use.
18650 Battery Options for More Demanding Lantern Projects
Many of our solar modules use 18650 lithium-ion batteries with capacities from 1,200 mAh to 2,000 mAh, depending on the model and required function. This supports larger LED configurations, brightness control, dual-colour lighting, USB charging and continuous-light operation.
Battery capacity alone does not determine product performance. The final result depends on the full system: solar-panel output, battery capacity, LED quantity, controller settings, brightness level and intended use of the lantern.
- 18650 lithium-ion battery options from 1,200 mAh to 2,000 mAh,
- 5 V or 6 V laminated, polycrystalline solar panels or 3D solar panels,
- 1 to 25 LEDs, including dual-colour options,
- fixed brightness, multi-level brightness or stepless dimming,
- optional USB charging,
- manual, solar or combined operating modes.

When Should You Choose a Square Module, Solar Insert or Solar Cap?
A square solar module is usually the best option for larger lanterns, decorative housings and projects where a larger panel surface, continuous-light mode, USB charging or brightness adjustment is important.
If the product requires a lighting unit installed inside a traditional grave light, solar inserts for grave lights may be the better direction. If the project mainly requires a top cover mounted on the housing, see our solar caps for grave lights.

OEM Features Available for Your Lantern Project
Not every lantern needs the same configuration. For an entry-level collection, simplicity and automatic solar operation may be the priority. For a premium collection, continuous lighting, USB charging, brightness control, a 3D panel or a more advanced mounting system can create more value.
- automatic solar operation with dusk sensor,
- manual continuous-light mode,
- optional USB charging,
- warm white, white, golden or dual-colour LED light,
- multi-level brightness or stepless dimming,
- button or touch-panel control,
- magnetic, screw, clip or custom mounting,
- housing colour, product markings, instructions and private-label packaging.

FAQ
Can the module provide light when it is not dark?
Selected models offer a continuous-light mode that allows the LED to be activated manually, independently of the automatic dusk-sensor mode.
Does continuous-light mode operate all day and night?
Operating time depends on the brightness level, battery capacity and available charge. Continuous mode should be matched to the intended use of the product rather than treated as unlimited lighting without charging.
Do the modules support USB charging?
Selected models include a USB port as an additional charging option for the battery.
What batteries are used in the modules?
Depending on the model, the modules use 18650 lithium-ion batteries with capacities from 1,200 mAh to 2,000 mAh.
Can the module be matched to our existing lantern housing?
Yes. Please send photos of the housing, mounting-opening dimensions, required module height and your preferred mounting method.
Can you customize the module for a private-label project?
Yes. We can discuss dimensions, light colour, brightness, operating mode, panel type, mounting method, housing colour, markings and packaging for OEM or private-label projects.
