Product Overview

Image shows the main light unit with a motion sensor at the bottom, connected by a wire to a separate solar panel. The light unit features a circular LED array, and the solar panel is rectangular with a stand.

The Utilitech Solar LED Motion-Activated Light system consists of two main parts: the LED light unit with an integrated motion sensor and an adjustable head, and a separate solar panel connected by a cable. This design allows for flexible placement of both components to optimize light coverage and solar charging.

Setup

1. Choosing a Location

• For the Solar Panel: Select a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
• For the Light Unit: Choose a wall-mount location where the light can effectively illuminate the desired area. Ensure the motion sensor has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to monitor.

2. Mounting the Solar Panel

1. Position the solar panel in the chosen sunny location.
2. Mark the drilling points for the mounting bracket.
3. Drill pilot holes and insert wall anchors if necessary.
4. Secure the solar panel bracket to the surface using the provided screws. Adjust the angle of the solar panel to face the sun directly.

3. Mounting the Light Unit

1. Position the light unit in the desired location.
2. Mark the drilling points for the light unit's mounting base.
3. Drill pilot holes and insert wall anchors if necessary.
4. Secure the light unit to the surface using the provided screws.
5. Connect the cable from the solar panel to the light unit. Ensure a secure connection.

4. Battery Installation (if not pre-installed)

• Locate the battery compartment on the light unit.
• Insert the 3 AA Ni-MH 1500mAh rechargeable batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
• Close the battery compartment securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Initial Charge

Allow the solar panel to charge the batteries for at least 24-48 hours in direct sunlight before initial use. This ensures the batteries are fully charged for optimal performance.

2. Motion Sensor Activation

• The light is equipped with a 110° motion-activated sensor. It will automatically turn on when motion is detected within its range during nighttime hours.
• Ensure the motion sensor is not obstructed and is facing the area where motion detection is desired.

3. Adjustable Light Head

• The light head can be adjusted up to a maximum of 45°.
• Gently tilt the light head to direct the illumination to your preferred area.

4. Adjustable Light Timer

The light features an adjustable timer to control how long the light stays on after motion is detected:

• 1 Minute Setting: The light will remain on for approximately 1 minute after motion ceases.
• 5 Minutes Setting: The light will remain on for approximately 5 minutes after motion ceases.

Refer to the controls on the light unit to select your desired timer setting.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel and light unit with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging.
• Battery Replacement: The included Ni-MH rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan. If the light's performance diminishes significantly, replace the 3 AA Ni-MH 1500mAh batteries with new, equivalent rechargeable batteries. Ensure correct polarity during installation.
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snow or prolonged periods of low sunlight, the light's performance may be reduced. Ensure the solar panel is clear of snow and ice.
