Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation
- Initial Charge: Before first use, ensure the solar panel is fully charged under direct sunlight for 8 to 10 hours. This activates the battery and ensures optimal performance.
- Choose Location: Select a location for the solar panel that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day. The light unit can be installed in a darker area, thanks to the long extension cable.
Mounting Instructions
- Mount the Solar Panel: Using the provided screws and anchors, securely mount the solar panel in your chosen sunny location. Adjust the bracket to ensure the panel faces the sun for maximum exposure.
- Mount the Light Unit: Attach the LED light unit to a wall or desired surface using the remaining screws and anchors. The 180° rotatable bracket allows you to direct the light beam as needed.
- Connect the Cable: Connect the extension cable from the solar panel to the LED light unit. Ensure the connection is secure and waterproof.

- AUTO Mode: Activates the dusk-to-dawn sensor function.
- 3H / 5H / 8H Timing Lighting: Sets the light to stay on for 3, 5, or 8 hours after activation, then turn off.
- ON: Manually turns the light on.
- OFF: Manually turns the light off.
- Full Bright Mode: Sets the light to maximum brightness.
- Semi Bright Mode: Sets the light to a reduced brightness level.
Note: The remote control requires 2 AAA batteries (included). Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the light unit for optimal response.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar street light.
- Clean the Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Inspect Connections: Occasionally check the cable connections between the solar panel and the light unit to ensure they remain secure and free from damage.
- Battery Care: The integrated lithium battery is designed for long life. Avoid prolonged storage of the light in a completely discharged state. If storing, ensure it is charged periodically.
- Weather Resistance: The IP65 rating means the light is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. While designed for outdoor conditions, extreme weather may temporarily affect performance.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MFLASMF Solar Street Light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar panel charge. | Ensure the solar panel is placed in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours. Clean the panel surface. |
| Solar panel is obstructed or in shade. | Relocate the solar panel to an area with maximum sun exposure. | |
| Light sensor detects ambient light. | Ensure no other light sources (streetlights, house lights) are shining on the solar panel at night. | |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short time. | Battery not fully charged due to cloudy weather or insufficient sunlight. | Allow several days of full sunlight for the battery to fully charge. Performance depends on geographical location and weather. |
| Remote control is not working. | Remote batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace the 2 AAA batteries in the remote control. Check polarity. |
