Operating Instructions
Initial Use
Before first use, ensure the solar step light is placed in direct sunlight for a full day (6-8 hours) to allow the built-in battery to charge completely. Locate the waterproof switch, typically on the underside or side of the unit, and ensure it is in the 'ON' position.

Automatic Lighting Control
The Walfront Solar Step Light features intelligent lighting control. Once the switch is in the 'ON' position:
- During the day, the solar panel will automatically detect sunlight and charge the internal battery. The light will remain off.
- As darkness falls, the light sensor will activate the LEDs, causing the light to illuminate automatically.
- The light will turn off automatically at dawn or when the battery is depleted.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar step lights.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel and light diffuser with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging.
- Inspection: Regularly check the mounting screws to ensure the light remains securely attached.
- Environmental Factors: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage) are shading the solar panel during the day.
Troubleshooting
If your solar step light is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | 1. Insufficient sunlight for charging. 2. Switch is in 'OFF' position. 3. Solar panel is dirty or obstructed. 4. Battery is depleted or faulty. | 1. Relocate the light to an area with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. 2. Ensure the waterproof switch is in the 'ON' position. 3. Clean the solar panel and remove any obstructions. 4. Allow several days of full charge. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Light stays on during the day. | 1. Light sensor is obstructed or covered. 2. Light is installed in a very dark area. | 1. Ensure the light sensor (part of the solar panel) is clear of obstructions. 2. Relocate the light to an area with sufficient ambient light during the day. |
| Light is dim or flickers. | 1. Insufficient battery charge. 2. Battery nearing end of life. | 1. Ensure the light receives full direct sunlight for charging. 2. If the light is old, the battery may need replacement (contact support for guidance). |
