Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install your solar motion sensor light:

  1. Choose a Location: Select an outdoor location that receives at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal charging. Ensure the area where light is desired is within the motion sensor's range.
  2. Activate the Light: Before mounting, locate the on/off button on the back of the solar panel. Press the button to turn the light ON. The lights will flash once to confirm activation. To turn OFF, press the button again; the lights will flash twice.
  3. Mount the Bracket: Use the provided screws and wall plugs to securely attach the mounting bracket to your chosen surface.
  4. Attach the Light: Slide the solar light onto the mounted bracket and secure it.
  5. Adjust Light and Panel: Adjust the solar panel to face the sun for maximum exposure. Rotate the light head 360 degrees to direct the illumination where needed.

Operating Instructions

The DrawGreen Solar Motion Sensor Light operates automatically:

  • Dusk-to-Dawn Operation: The built-in photocell sensor detects ambient light. During the day, the light charges its internal battery. At night, it automatically turns on in a dim-light mode.
  • Motion Sensor Activation: When the PIR motion sensor detects movement within its 20-26ft range and 120-degree angle, the light will switch to a high-bright mode (1400LM) for approximately 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, if no further motion is detected, it will revert to dim-light mode.
  • Extended Dim-Light: The low-light setting can last for up to 3 days on rainy days without direct sunlight, thanks to its efficient solar modules.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
  • Battery Replacement: The light features a replaceable battery design. If the light's performance significantly degrades over time, the internal 18650 Li-ion battery (3.7V 2600mAh) can be replaced. Refer to the product overview image for battery location. Ensure proper polarity when replacing.
  • Weather Resistance: The light is designed to withstand extreme temperatures (-30℉ to 120℉) and is IP66 waterproof. No special weather-related maintenance is typically required beyond ensuring it is securely mounted.
