3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present in the package:
- 1 x Xanlite APS300 Solar LED Wall Light
- Mounting hardware (screws, wall plugs) - (Typically included, though not explicitly listed as separate item in source data)
- User Manual
4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your solar LED wall light:
- Choose an Optimal Location: Select a mounting location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. This ensures the solar panel can fully charge the internal battery. Avoid areas under eaves, trees, or other obstructions that might block sunlight.
- Prepare for Mounting: The light is designed for wall mounting. You will need to drill three holes for the mounting plate. Use a pencil to mark the desired positions on the wall.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material, drill the marked holes. Insert wall plugs if necessary.
- Attach Mounting Plate: Secure the mounting plate to the wall using the provided screws.
- Mount the Light: Slide the Xanlite APS300 light onto the secured mounting plate until it clicks into place. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Activate the Light: Locate the ON/OFF switch, usually on the back or bottom of the unit. Ensure it is set to the "ON" position. The battery will not charge if the switch is in the "OFF" position.

5. Operating Instructions
The Xanlite APS300 operates automatically once installed and activated:
- Automatic Charging: During daylight hours, the integrated solar panel converts sunlight into electricity, charging the internal rechargeable battery.
- Dusk-to-Dawn Operation: The light features a built-in light sensor (crépusculaire detector) that detects ambient light levels. It will automatically enter standby mode at dusk when light levels are low.
- Motion Detection: While in standby mode at night, the motion sensor will detect movement within its range. Upon detection, the light will illuminate at full brightness (300 lumens) for approximately 25 seconds before returning to standby mode if no further motion is detected.
Important Note:
- Ensure the ON/OFF switch is always in the "ON" position for the light to charge and operate.
- The light will not turn on during daylight hours, even if motion is detected, to conserve energy.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Xanlite APS300, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the light for any signs of physical damage or wear.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the light, as they may damage the finish or components.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Xanlite APS300, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | 1. ON/OFF switch is in "OFF" position. 2. Insufficient solar charge. 3. Solar panel is dirty or obstructed. 4. Ambient light is too high. | 1. Ensure the switch is set to "ON". 2. Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. 3. Clean the solar panel. Remove any obstructions. 4. Ensure the installation location is dark enough at night. |
| Light stays on constantly or flashes. | 1. Motion sensor is continuously triggered. 2. Faulty sensor. | 1. Ensure no constant movement (e.g., tree branches) is within the sensor's range. Adjust light angle if possible. 2. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short time. | 1. Insufficient solar charge. 2. Battery degradation (over time). | 1. Ensure the light receives full, direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily. Clean solar panel. 2. If the product is old, battery capacity may have decreased. |
| Water inside the light enclosure. | Seal integrity compromised. | While the product is IP44 rated, extreme weather or manufacturing defects can cause ingress. If within warranty, contact customer support. Otherwise, replace the unit. |
