1. Site Selection
Select a mounting location free from obstructions like trees, buildings, or other structures that could shade the solar panel, especially during peak sunlight hours.
2. Mounting Options
Figure 3: Multiple Mounting Options. This illustration demonstrates how the solar street light can be installed on both poles and walls, detailing the specific hardware used for each method.
Pole Mount Installation:
- Attach the mounting bracket to the back of the solar street light unit using the provided screws.
- Position the light unit on the desired pole.
- Secure the light to the pole using the U-bolts, nuts, and washers. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely.
Wall Mount Installation:
- Attach the mounting bracket to the back of the solar street light unit using the provided screws.
- Mark the drilling points on the wall using the mounting bracket as a template.
- Drill holes at the marked points.
- Insert the expansion bolts into the drilled holes.

Operating Instructions
The Wagan Solar Street Light operates automatically from dusk till dawn. The remote control provides additional functionality.
Initial Activation:
After installation, ensure the light is exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours to allow the battery to charge sufficiently before first use.
Remote Control Functions:
Figure 5: Remote Control. The remote control unit for the solar street light, displaying its various function buttons.
- ON/OFF: Press to manually turn the light on or off.
- M1 (Motion Sensor Mode): The light stays in low brightness mode and switches to full brightness when motion is detected. After a period of no motion, it returns to low brightness.
- M2 (Constant Brightness Mode): The light maintains a constant medium brightness throughout the night.
- M3 (Timer Mode): Activates a timed operation for a set number of hours after dusk. Refer to the remote control for specific timer settings (e.g., 2H, 4H, 6H).
- T (Timer): Used to set the duration for timer modes.
Note: The remote control requires direct line-of-sight to the light's sensor for optimal functionality. The red LED on the light will flash to confirm remote commands.
Maintenance
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
- Fixture Cleaning: Wipe the LED light fixture and casing with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
- Battery: The internal lithium-ion battery is designed for long life and is not user-replaceable.
- Inspection: Periodically check mounting hardware for tightness and ensure the light remains securely attached.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charge. | Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light is dim or turns off quickly. | Partial charge or cloudy weather. | Allow several days of full sunlight for the battery to fully charge. Clean the solar panel. |
| Remote control not working. | Obstruction or distance. | Ensure direct line-of-sight to the light's sensor. Reduce distance to the light. Check remote battery. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Sensor obstructed or incorrect mode. | Clear any obstructions from the sensor. Ensure the light is in M1 (Motion Sensor) mode. |
