Bell+Howell Disk Lights are designed for easy, wire-free installation. There are several methods for placement:

5. Operating Instructions

The Disk Lights utilize light conversion technology to absorb solar energy during the day and convert it into electricity, stored in internal cells. This allows for automatic operation at night.

• Automatic On/Off: The lights are equipped with a sensitive light sensor. They will automatically turn on when darkness is detected and turn off automatically in daylight or bright areas.
• Illumination Duration: With 7-8 hours of direct sunlight charging, the Disk Lights can illuminate for approximately 10 hours.
• Manual Switch: A manual switch is provided to turn the lights on or off as needed, overriding the automatic sensor.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel clean with a soft, damp cloth to ensure maximum sunlight absorption. Dust, dirt, or debris can reduce charging efficiency.
• Weather Resistance: The Disk Lights feature an IP65 waterproof rating and are made with high-strength ABS and stainless steel, making them suitable for various weather conditions including rain, snow, and frost.
• Rust Prevention: While rust-resistant, avoid prolonged submersion or placement in areas that are easily flooded to prevent potential rust formation over time.
• Durability: The robust design allows the lights to withstand up to 100KG of standing body weight and are tough enough to be run over by a lawnmower without damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lights not turning on:
  • Ensure the manual switch on the underside of the light is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the solar panel is clean and free of obstructions (e.g., leaves, dirt) that might block sunlight.
  • Confirm the lights receive at least 7-8 hours of direct sunlight during the day for adequate charging.
• Lights illuminate for a short duration:
  • The battery may not be fully charged. Ensure the solar panel receives sufficient direct sunlight for the recommended charging time.
  • Environmental factors such as cloudy weather or placement in shaded areas can affect charging efficiency.
