Eyrosa Solar Address Sign, Lighted Address Plaque Outdoor Waterproof, Illuminated Address Numbers, House Numbers for Outside

Why I added a solar address sign—and how this one performed

I wanted a simple, low-maintenance way to make my house number visible at night for deliveries and emergency services. After living with the Eyrosa solar address sign for several weeks, I can say it does the job well: it’s bright, readable from a distance, and requires essentially no upkeep beyond placing it where it sees sun.

Below, I’ll walk through installation, design, performance, and a few limitations I ran into.

Setup and installation

Out of the box, the sign includes the board, a switch on the back, a built-in solar panel, and multiple sheets of adhesive numbers (0–9) plus N, S, E, W, along with alignment templates. The templates are helpful—there are guides for three-, four-, and five-digit addresses, which makes spacing straightforward and keeps things tidy.

A few setup tips from my install:
- Clean the surface of the board with isopropyl alcohol before applying numbers. Let it dry completely.
- Use the alignment template and lightly tack the numbers first to preview spacing before pressing them down firmly.
- If you’re mounting to brick or masonry, plan on using masonry anchors. Getting holes aligned on uneven brick takes a little patience; I marked my holes, drilled pilots, and used a level to double-check before committing.

There’s an on/off switch—don’t forget to turn it on before mounting. Once installed, it starts working automatically at dusk.

Design and build

The look is minimalist: a white face behind black numbers, framed in black. It’s not decorative in a stylistic sense; the aesthetic leans utilitarian and clean. That’s the right call for an address sign—the contrast is excellent in daylight and at night, which is what matters.

The housing feels sturdy and weather-sealed. I’ve had it through a handful of windy, rainy days and cool nights with no moisture ingress or flicker. The face wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. The included numbers are vinyl-like adhesive and, once pressed down, feel secure—no curling edges so far. If you follow the prep steps and press firmly, they bond well.

One small cosmetic note: if you have a short, three-digit address, there’s a fair bit of blank space on either side, and the numerals themselves don’t scale up; they may look a little “lost” on the panel compared with the product photos. With four or five digits, the balance looks more natural.

Visibility and brightness

At night, the sign is unmistakable. The board is edge-lit by 36 LEDs and throws an even glow across the numbers. The light is neutral-to-cool white, which helps the digits stand out from the street. On a typical suburban road, the numbers remain legible from well beyond driveway distance.

The brightness profile matches what’s stated in the manual: roughly 25 lumens for the first six hours after dusk, then it steps down to about 10 lumens until dawn. In practice, that means it’s punchy when you’re most likely to get deliveries or guests in the evening, then settles into a softer glow through the early morning hours. I prefer this to a constant-brightness approach because it preserves battery life without sacrificing utility.

Solar performance and battery life

This sign depends on placement. In a spot with good sun exposure, it’s excellent. Mine is mounted where it gets direct sun from late morning to mid-afternoon. After a full sunny day, it easily runs dusk-to-dawn with the brightness step-down overnight. On mixed or partly cloudy days, I still got all-night visibility.

The manufacturer claims up to two days of operation after a full charge. I tested this by fully charging on a bright day and then covering the panel the following day; the sign made it through the second night, though the late-night brightness was in the softer range. That’s consistent with what I’d expect given the two-stage output.

As with all solar products, winter will be the bigger test—shorter days, lower sun angle, and colder temperatures can reduce runtime. If you’re in a northern climate or a heavily shaded lot, mount it as high and south-facing as you can and avoid roof overhang shadows. The larger, efficient panel on this model does help, but it’s not magic.

Everyday use

Once installed, there’s nothing to do. No switches to fuss with, no wires to run, no bulbs to replace. It just comes on at dusk and off at dawn. There’s enough light spill to softly illuminate the immediate area, which is a nice side effect for a driveway or front path without adding glare.

For me, the biggest usability win is clarity. Even if the porch light is off, the house number is visible from the street. Delivery drivers stop overshooting the place, and it’s reassuring to know first responders would see it quickly.

Durability and weather

In rain and wind, the sign showed no issues. The seam between the housing and face stayed dry, and there’s no rattle or flex. Adhesive numbers have remained flat and stuck through temperature swings and direct sun. If you live in a very hot climate, give the numbers a firm press along the edges after the first hot day as a precaution, but I haven’t seen any lifting.

The solar panel is flush and easy to wipe clean. A light film of dust will noticeably reduce charging efficiency, so a quick monthly wipe with a microfiber cloth is worthwhile.

Limitations and wish list

• Battery replacement: The battery is not user-replaceable. That’s common in compact solar devices, but it does limit the product’s service life; eventually, capacity will diminish. For the price and convenience, I can live with that, but I’d like to see a replaceable pack or at least a service path in future versions.
• Aesthetic simplicity: It’s functional and plain. If you’re looking for a decorative plaque with ornate fonts or custom metalwork, this isn’t that.
• Number set: You get multiple sets of numbers plus N, S, E, W. If your address includes other letters (e.g., “A” or “B”), you’ll need to source matching characters separately or consider a different solution.
• Three-digit proportion: With only three digits, the composition can look slightly undersized relative to the face. It’s not a deal-breaker, but spacing becomes more noticeable.
• Mounting on rough surfaces: On brick or stone, getting perfect level and screw alignment takes a bit of effort. Plan your anchors carefully.

Value

For the feature set—automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, 36 LEDs, strong contrast, templates, and a competent solar panel—the value is solid. You avoid hiring an electrician, you don’t add to your electric bill, and ongoing maintenance is essentially nil. If you’ve tried depending on porch lights or reflective numbers, this is a meaningful upgrade in visibility and consistency.

Who it’s for

• Homeowners who want clearly visible address numbers at night without wiring.
• Rental properties or vacation homes where low-maintenance visibility is important.
• Mailbox or fence mounts where power isn’t available.

Who should look elsewhere:
- Anyone requiring elaborate styling or custom fonts.
- Addresses needing more characters than 3–5 digits, or letters beyond N, S, E, W.
- Locations with persistent heavy shade; no solar sign will perform well without sun.

Recommendation

I recommend the Eyrosa solar address sign. It hits the fundamentals—high contrast, bright and even illumination, reliable dusk-to-dawn operation, and simple installation—at a fair price. The non-replaceable battery is the main compromise, and the styling is intentionally plain, but as a practical tool for making your address readable day and night, it’s effective and low-hassle. If you have a sunny spot to mount it and want your house number to be obvious from the street, this is an easy upgrade that just works.
