- Attach the smaller ground stake to the bottom of the spotlight unit.
- Select a location for the solar panel that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily.
- Insert the solar panel's ground stake firmly into the soil.
- Position the spotlight unit in your desired location and insert its ground stake into the soil.
- Connect the cable from the solar panel to the spotlight unit. Ensure the connection is secure.
4.2. Wall Mount Installation
- Choose a wall location for both the solar panel and the spotlight unit. Ensure the solar panel location receives ample direct sunlight.
- Use the provided screws and anchors to securely mount the solar panel bracket to the wall.
- Mount the spotlight unit's bracket to the wall using the provided screws and anchors.
- Connect the cable from the solar panel to the spotlight unit. Ensure the connection is secure.
4.3. Adjusting Angles
After installation, adjust the angle of the solar panel to face the sun directly for maximum charging efficiency. Adjust the light head to illuminate your desired area. The solar panel pivots 90 degrees, and the light head pivots 180 degrees.

5. Operating Instructions
The T-SUN Solar Spotlight is designed for automatic operation. It charges during the day and illuminates automatically at night.
5.1. Initial Use
Before first use, ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for at least 8 hours to fully charge the internal battery. The unit will automatically turn on at dusk once charged.
5.2. Power ON/OFF and Mode Selection
A button located on the back of the solar panel controls the power and lighting modes:
- Press once for High Light mode.
- Press again for Low Light mode.
- Press a third time to turn the unit OFF.
The light will automatically turn on at dusk in the selected mode and turn off at dawn.

5.3. Optimal Placement Considerations
For best performance, avoid placing the solar panel near other light sources at night (e.g., streetlights, porch lights) as this may prevent the light from turning on automatically. Ensure the ground is soft enough for stake installation; do not use excessive force or tools like hammers on the stake.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficiency of your T-SUN Solar Spotlights.
6.1. Cleaning the Solar Panel
Periodically 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.
6.2. Battery Replacement
The T-SUN Solar Spotlight features an easily replaceable battery. If the light duration significantly decreases over time, the battery may need replacement. Access the battery compartment on the back of the solar panel unit to replace the Lithium Ion battery (1 required).

7. Troubleshooting
If your T-SUN Solar Spotlight is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues and solutions:
- Light does not turn on at night:
- Ensure the ON/OFF switch on the solar panel is set to either High Light or Low Light mode, not OFF.
- Verify the solar panel is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Relocate if necessary.
- Check for external light sources (e.g., streetlights) that might be activating the light sensor, preventing the spotlight from turning on.
- Ensure the cable connection between the solar panel and the light unit is secure.
- Light is dim or only stays on for a short period:
- The battery may not be fully charged. Ensure the solar panel is clean and receives adequate direct sunlight.
- Consider replacing the battery if the issue persists after several days of full charging.
- Environmental factors like prolonged cloudy weather can affect charging efficiency.
- Physical damage to stake during installation:
- Avoid using excessive force or tools like hammers when inserting the ground stake into hard soil. If the ground is too hard, pre-dig a small hole or soften the soil with water.
