4. Product Diagram
Familiarize yourself with the components of your SOLLA Solar Outdoor Light.
This diagram illustrates the adjustable features of the SOLLA solar light. It shows that the three light heads can be adjusted 90 degrees up and down, and 90 degrees left and right. The motion sensor itself can be rotated 180 degrees left and right, allowing for precise targeting of both light and detection areas.
This diagram highlights the sensitive motion sensor capabilities of the SOLLA solar light. It shows a maximum 180-degree sensing angle and a 33ft/10m sensing distance. The recommended mounting height is 6-10ft. An inset image shows the battery compartment located at the back of the light unit.
5. Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Choose a Location: Select a mounting location for the light unit that provides the desired illumination coverage. For the solar panel, choose a spot that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily to ensure optimal charging. The recommended mounting height for the light is 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters).
- Mark and Drill: Hold the light unit and solar panel brackets against the chosen surfaces and mark the drilling points. Drill holes using an appropriate drill bit size for the provided wall anchors.
- Insert Anchors: Insert the plastic wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Mount Brackets: Secure the light unit and solar panel brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach Light and Panel: Attach the light unit and solar panel to their respective mounted brackets.
- Connect Solar Panel: Connect the cable from the solar panel to the input port on the light unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Adjust Angles: Adjust the solar panel to face the sun for maximum exposure. Adjust the three light heads and the motion sensor to cover your desired detection and illumination areas.
This image shows two examples of the SOLLA solar light installed on a house. The top image shows the light mounted under the eaves of a roof, providing overhead illumination. The bottom image shows the light mounted on a wall above a garage door, demonstrating its versatility for various outdoor placements.
6. Operation and Settings
The SOLLA solar light features adjustable settings for sensitivity, detection, brightness, and timer. These are controlled via dials on the unit.
A detailed view of the control panel on the SOLLA solar light. It features four adjustable dials: 'DIST' for motion sensitivity range (10ft/17ft/33ft), 'DETECT' for environmental luminosity detection (Moderate Light, Low Light, Dark), 'DIM' for brightness levels (500lm, 1000lm, 2000lm), and 'TIME' for setting the illumination duration after motion detection (10S/20S). A 'TEST' mode is also indicated.
6.1. Control Dials
- DIST (Sensitivity): Adjusts the motion detection range.
Options: D (10ft), M (17ft), L (33ft). - DETECT (Luminosity): Sets the ambient light level at which the motion sensor becomes active.
Options: TEST (for quick setup), Light Bulb Icon (Dark, activates only in low light), Sun Icon (Moderate Light, activates in dusk/dark). - DIM (Brightness): Selects the desired brightness output when motion is detected.
Options: 500lm, 1000lm, 2000lm. - TIME (Duration): Determines how long the light stays on after motion is detected.
Options: 10S (10 seconds), 20S (20 seconds).
6.2. Test Mode
Set the DETECT dial to 'TEST'. The light will illuminate for 5 seconds when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light. This mode is useful for verifying sensor functionality and coverage during installation.
6.3. Auto On Mode
After setting DIST, DETECT, DIM, and TIME, the light will activate for the selected duration (10S or 20S) when motion is detected, according to your chosen luminosity and brightness settings.
This image visually compares the three adjustable brightness levels of the SOLLA solar light: 500 lumens, 1000 lumens, and 2000 lumens. It demonstrates how the light illuminates an outdoor area at different intensity settings, from subtle to super bright.
7. Power Modes
The SOLLA GV007A00 light is designed for continuous operation through its intelligent dual power system.
- Solar Power Priority: The primary power source is the solar panel, which charges the included 18650 rechargeable battery during the day.
- Battery Backup: If the solar battery's charge is insufficient (e.g., during prolonged cloudy weather or winter), the light will automatically switch to use two D-type batteries (not included) as a backup power source.
- Automatic Switch-back: Once the solar battery has sufficiently recharged, the system will automatically revert to solar power, conserving the D-type batteries.
This system ensures reliable operation even when solar charging conditions are not ideal.
8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the solar panel and the light heads with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. This ensures optimal charging efficiency and light output. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement:
- 18650 Rechargeable Battery: This battery is designed for long life. If you notice a significant decrease in performance over time, it may need replacement. Refer to the battery compartment for instructions on accessing and replacing the 18650 battery.
- D-type Batteries: If using D-type batteries as backup, replace them when the light's performance is consistently low despite adequate solar charging. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they are secure.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charge. | Ensure solar panel receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| D-type backup batteries are depleted or not installed. | Install or replace D-type batteries. | |
| DETECT setting is incorrect. | Adjust DETECT dial to the 'Dark' or 'Moderate Light' setting. | |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | DIST (Sensitivity) setting is too low. | Increase DIST setting (M or L). |
| Sensor angle is incorrect. | Adjust the motion sensor's angle to cover the desired area. | |
| Light stays on constantly. | Continuous motion in detection area. | Adjust sensor angle or DIST setting to reduce unwanted triggers. |
| Faulty sensor. | Contact customer support. | |
| Light is dim. | DIM (Brightness) setting is too low. | Increase DIM setting. |
| Low battery charge. | Ensure adequate solar charging or replace D-type batteries. |
