5. Setup and Installation
- Choose a Location: Select an outdoor location where the solar panel can receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
- Initial Charge: Before first use, allow the solar light to charge for a full day in direct sunlight to ensure the battery is adequately charged.
- Mounting:
- Mark the desired mounting position on a wall or post.
- Drill holes at the marked spots.
- Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Align the light with the holes and secure it using the provided screws.
The self-contained design allows for easy installation on various outdoor surfaces, providing illumination for garden security, swimming pools, pathways, and garage doors.
6. Operating Instructions
The LECLSTAR Solar Outdoor Light features an automatic operation system: it charges during the day and lights up at night. It offers three distinct lighting modes, selectable via a button on the unit.
Lighting Modes:
- MODE 1 (Human Body Interaction Mode): The light remains off until motion is detected. Upon detection, it illuminates at full brightness for approximately 30 seconds, then turns off if no further motion is detected.
- MODE 2 (Human Body Interaction + Slight Light Mode): The light stays on at a slight (dim) brightness. When motion is detected, it switches to full brightness for approximately 30 seconds, then returns to slight brightness if no further motion is detected.
- MODE 3 (Slight Light Mode): The light remains on at a constant slight (dim) brightness throughout the night, regardless of motion detection.
The motion sensor has a 120° detection angle and can detect movement from 3-5 meters away.
Motion Sensor Logic:
- During the day, the light charges.
- At night, if in Mode 1 or 2, the light activates upon motion detection.
- It lights up for approximately 30 seconds.
- If motion is detected again within this period, the 30-second timer resets.
- If no motion is detected, the light either turns off (Mode 1) or returns to slight brightness (Mode 2).
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
- Battery: The integrated Ni-MH battery is designed for long-term use. No user maintenance is required for the battery itself. If the light's performance significantly degrades over time, the battery may need replacement by a qualified technician.
- Weather Resistance: The IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets. While designed for all-weather use, avoid prolonged submersion.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient sunlight exposure during the day. Power switch is off. | Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. Ensure the power switch is in the "ON" position. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short time. | Battery not fully charged. Solar panel is dirty. | Allow for more charging time in direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel surface. |
| Motion sensor not detecting movement. | Obstructions blocking the sensor. Sensor range exceeded. | Clear any objects blocking the sensor's view. Ensure movement is within 3-5 meters of the sensor. |
9. User Tips
- For best performance, install the light in a south-facing direction (in the Northern Hemisphere) to maximize sun exposure.
- Consider using Mode 2 for areas requiring both constant ambient light and bright security illumination.
- In colder climates, ensure the solar panel is free of snow or ice to maintain charging efficiency.
- Periodically check mounting screws for tightness, especially after strong winds or storms.
