5. Setup
5.1 Choosing an Installation Location
For optimal performance, select a location that receives direct sunlight for 4-6 hours daily. Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or other obstructions that could hinder solar charging.
5.2 Mounting the Light
- Attach the mounting bracket (not included) to the desired surface using appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure the surface is sturdy enough to support the light.
- Secure the solar street light unit to the mounting bracket.
- Adjust the angle of the solar panel to maximize sun exposure.
The recommended installation height is between 3 to 6 meters for optimal light distribution and motion sensor effectiveness.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Initial Operation
Upon initial installation, allow the solar street light to charge for at least one full day (4-6 hours of direct sunlight) before its first use to ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
6.2 Remote Control Functions
The included remote control allows you to manage various functions of your solar street light:
Figure 5: Remote Control Functions
- ON / OFF: Force turn the light on or off.
- Highlight Mode: Activates 100% brightness that does not dim slowly. This button is valid when the light is on.
- Induction Mode: The light operates at 8% brightness when no motion is detected and switches to 100% brightness when people are present.
- 3H Timing: The light operates at 75% brightness and turns off automatically after 3 hours.
- 6H Timing: The light turns on according to the 'AUTO' mode and turns off automatically after 6 hours.
- Induction after Timing 4H: The light turns on according to 'AUTO' mode. After 4 hours, it operates at 60% brightness when people are present and 8% brightness when no one is detected.
- Automatic Mode (AUTO): Engages a slow dimming mode, transitioning between 60% and 8% brightness based on ambient light and motion.
6.3 Smart Motion Sensor
The integrated motion sensor detects presence up to 8 meters away within a 120° angle. This feature optimizes energy saving and security:
- No Movement: The light maintains a dim 8% brightness to conserve energy.
- With Movement: The light instantly switches to 100% full illumination for maximum visibility and safety.

7. Maintenance
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Check for Obstructions: Periodically inspect the area around the light to ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing branches) are blocking sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
- Battery Care: The integrated battery is designed for long-term use. Avoid prolonged storage in a completely discharged state.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charge; ON/OFF switch is off; faulty sensor. | Ensure the solar panel receives 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. Check if the light is turned ON via the remote or manual switch. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short period. | Insufficient solar charge; dirty solar panel; battery degradation. | Relocate the light to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. If the problem persists after several sunny days, the battery may need replacement (contact support). |
| Motion sensor not working correctly. | Sensor obstructed; incorrect mode selected; sensor malfunction. | Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Verify the correct induction mode is selected on the remote. |
| Remote control not responding. | Remote battery depleted; remote out of range; signal obstruction. | Replace the remote control battery. Ensure you are within the 8-meter remote control distance. Remove any obstructions between the remote and the light. |
9. User Tips
- Maximize Sunlight: Always aim to install your solar street light in a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day, especially during winter months when sunlight is scarcer.
- Regular Cleaning: A quick wipe of the solar panel once a month can significantly improve charging efficiency and overall light performance.
- Test Modes: Experiment with the different remote control modes (e.g., 3H, 6H, AUTO, Induction) to find the best setting for your specific needs and energy saving preferences.
