PLANNING INSTALLATION
Before installing the light fixture, ensure that all parts are present. Compare parts with the Hardware Included and
Package Contents sections. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble, install, or operate this
light fixture.
Estimated installation time: 30 minutes
INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE
IMPORTANT: The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to charge the battery. Clouds, rain, snow, and other weather
conditions may not allow the solar panel to completely recharge the battery. Other obstructions such as buildings or
trees may block the sun as well.
When installing the solar panel, make sure it is aimed as described below with a minimum amount of obstructions. If
possible, mount the panel facing toward the southern sky.
□
PRIOR TO USE, the battery will require 2 to 5 days of full sun to completely charge with the control
dial in the OFF position. Plug the solar panel cable into the connector extending from the
bottom of the battery case. If possible, aim the solar panel toward the south and tilt it
approximately 50° from horizontal. If the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the south,
then tilt the panel approximately 30° if possible.
□
Actual operating time will vary depending upon how frequently the light is turned on by
the motion sensor.
□
Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V lighting. The amount of light output
is reduced to allow the sun time to fully recharge the battery between lighting cycles.
□
Solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight. Every hour the light is on requires
a minimum of 16 hours of sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10% of the
sun's energy.
MOUNTING LOCATION
The most important thing to remember for the operation of your solar powered motion sensing light is that it works
from the power received from direct sunlight. The more direct sunlight the solar panel receives in a day, the longer
the light will operate.
SOLAR LIGHT FIXTURE
The main unit contains the LEDs, motion sensor, and battery. When deciding where to mount this unit, keep in mind
that the motion sensor that activates the light has a "field of vision" of 40 feet (12 meters) in front of the light and
about 180° detection angle at a surrounding air temperature of 77° F (25 °C).
SOLAR PANEL
The solar panel converts the sun's energy into electricity, thus charging the battery stored in the solar light fixture.
The solar panel requires direct sunlight falling onto the face of the solar panel for as long as possible over the
course of the day.
When choosing the location for the solar panel, make sure it is aimed toward the south and is tilted to a suitable
angle to allow as much direct sunlight to fall upon it as possible. Make sure there is a minimum amount of
obstructions between the solar panel and the sun.
Also, make sure your solar panel location is not too far away from the solar light fixture for the wires to reach and
connect.
