Setup and Installation
- Initial Activation: Before installation, locate the ON/OFF switch on the back of the unit. Turn the switch to the "ON" position.
- Initial Charge: Place the solar light under direct sunlight for at least 10 hours (1-2 days) to ensure the battery is fully charged before first use. Ensure the solar panel is clean and free of any film or obstructions.
- Choose Location: Select an outdoor location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day. Avoid areas shaded by trees, buildings, or other structures, as this will reduce charging efficiency.
- Installation Method:
- Using Screws (Recommended): For a more secure installation, use the provided screws and plastic grooves. Mark the desired mounting points, drill pilot holes, insert the plastic grooves, and then secure the light with screws.
- Using Adhesive Stickers: The included double-sided adhesive stickers offer a convenient installation option. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly before applying the stickers to the back of the light and pressing firmly onto the wall. Note: Adhesive may be less secure in hot weather or on uneven surfaces.
- Optimal Placement: If possible, install the light slightly separated from the wall (e.g., by placing a small piece of wood behind it) to allow for better light distribution.

Operating Instructions
Once installed and initially charged, the cakuuma Solar Wall Light operates automatically:
- Daytime: The solar panel will automatically absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, charging the internal Ni-MH battery.
- Nighttime: The integrated light sensor will detect darkness and automatically turn on the LED lights, providing illumination.
- Duration: When fully charged, the light can operate for approximately 6-8 hours. The actual duration may vary based on the amount of sunlight received during the day and ambient temperature.
- Brightness Fluctuation: The brightness may gradually decrease as the battery capacity diminishes throughout the night.

Important Note: This solar light is designed for accent and decorative lighting. Its brightness (10 lumens) is not intended for main illumination purposes.

Maintenance
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures optimal charging efficiency.
- Battery Life: The Ni-MH battery has a limited lifespan. If the light's performance significantly degrades over time, the battery may need replacement.
- Water Resistance: The light is IP65 waterproof, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. However, it is not designed to be immersed in water. Avoid placing it in locations where it might be submerged.

Troubleshooting
- Q: Why do some lights not work upon arrival?
- A: Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position. Remove any protective film from the solar panel. Place the light under direct sunlight for at least 10 hours (1-2 days) for an initial charge. Then, check if it works in a dark environment.
- Q: Why did the light stop working after getting wet?
- A: While the lamp is IP65 waterproof, it cannot be immersed in water. Heavy rain might affect its operation if water ingress occurs. It also cannot charge on rainy days due to lack of sunlight. It should resume normal operation on sunny days once recharged.
- Q: The light is not very bright.
- A: This solar light provides 10 lumens of brightness and is designed for accent or decorative lighting, not as a primary light source. Ensure the solar panel receives maximum direct sunlight for optimal charging. Performance can be affected by weather conditions and placement.
- Q: The light does not stay on for 6-8 hours.
- A: The 6-8 hour duration is achieved when the battery is fully charged. The actual operating time depends on the amount of direct sunlight received during the day and environmental factors. Shorter daylight hours or cloudy weather will result in shorter illumination times.
