3. Package Contents
Upon opening your package, please verify that all items are present and in good condition:
- Solar Deck Lights (quantity as per order)
- Adhesive pad(s)
4. Setup and Installation
The Unibrother Solar Deck Lights are designed for easy, tool-free installation using strong adhesive tape.
Before First Use:
- Turn the switch to the 'ON' position. The switch is typically located on the underside of the light.
- Place the lamp under direct sunlight for at least 6 hours to ensure it is fully charged. If the light has not received solar charging for a long time, a longer initial charge may be required.
- After charging, cover the solar panel or place the lamp in a dark area to check if it lights up automatically.
Installation Steps:
- Step 1: Prepare the Surface
Clean and thoroughly dry the desired paste position. The surface should be smooth and free of dust, dirt, and moisture for optimal adhesion. - Step 2: Apply Adhesive
Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive pad and firmly stick it onto the base of the solar light. - Step 3: Mount the Light
- For Smooth Ground: Simply press the light firmly onto the prepared surface with the adhesive.
- For Rough Ground: For rough or uneven surfaces, additional adhesive (e.g., 10ml/10g glue, not included due to shipping regulations) may be required to ensure secure mounting. Apply the additional glue to the light base before pressing it onto the surface.
The lights feature ultrasonic welding technology for integrated molding, ensuring anti-corrosion, no screws, and IP68 waterproof rating.
The lights are suitable for various outdoor applications:
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and charged, the Unibrother Solar Deck Lights operate automatically:
- The lights will automatically turn ON when darkness falls.
- The lights will automatically turn OFF when dawn breaks.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
- Inspection: Periodically check the lights for any signs of damage or loose adhesion. Reapply adhesive if necessary, especially for rough surfaces.
- Winter Care: In areas with heavy snow, ensure the solar panel is not covered by snow to allow for charging. While the lights are frost-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may affect performance.
7. Troubleshooting
- Light does not turn on at night:
- Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Verify the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily. Obstructions like shade, dirt, or snow can prevent charging.
- Test the light by covering the solar panel completely in a dark environment to see if it activates.
- Lighting time is shorter than expected:
- Winter Conditions: In winter, sunlight is weaker and daylight hours are shorter, which will naturally reduce the lighting duration (around 10 hours). This is normal for solar-powered devices.
- Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from any obstructions.
- The battery may not be fully charged. Allow for a full day of direct sunlight charging.
- Light appears dim:
- Ensure the solar panel is clean.
- The battery might not be fully charged. Allow for more charging time in direct sunlight.
