- Adjust the angle of the solar panel and the light head to optimize sunlight absorption and illumination direction.
4.2 Wall Mounted Installation
- Detach the plastic rod if it's already attached.
- Mark the desired drilling points on the wall using the mounting bracket as a template.
- Drill holes and insert the plastic anchors.
- Secure the mounting bracket to the wall with screws.
- Attach the solar light to the mounted bracket, securing it with the turn knob.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Linkind Solar Lights, follow these simple 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 maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, buildings, or other objects are shading the solar panel, especially during peak sunlight hours.
- Check Connections: Periodically check that all connections are secure, particularly if the light has been moved or exposed to strong winds.
- Battery Care: While the battery is included and designed for long life, extreme temperatures can affect its performance. If storing the lights for an extended period, ensure they are fully charged before storage and recharge them every few months.
7. Troubleshooting
If your Linkind Solar Lights are not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues and solutions:
