Setup and Installation
- Choose Location: Select an outdoor location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid areas shaded by trees, buildings, or other obstructions, as this will affect charging efficiency.
- Prepare Ground: Ensure the ground is soft enough to insert the spike without excessive force. If the ground is hard, pre-dig a small hole or moisten the soil.
- Insert Light: Carefully push the integrated ground spike into the prepared ground until the light fixture is stable and upright. Do not twist or force the light, as this may damage the spike or internal components.
- Initial Charge: Allow the light to charge for a full day (at least 8 hours) in direct sunlight before its first use to ensure the internal battery is fully charged.

Operating Instructions
The Nordlux Rica Solar Outdoor Floor Light operates automatically:
- Automatic Operation: The light features a built-in light sensor. It will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, provided the battery has sufficient charge.
- Motion Sensor: This model includes a motion sensor. When motion is detected within its range, the light will illuminate at full brightness. After a period of no motion, it will dim or turn off to conserve power.
- Charging: During daylight hours, the integrated solar panel charges the internal battery. Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for optimal performance.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solar light:
- Cleaning the Solar Panel: Periodically 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.
- Cleaning the Light Fixture: Clean the light fixture with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Seasonal Care: In regions with heavy snow or prolonged periods of low sunlight, the light's performance may be reduced. Consider clearing snow from the solar panel or temporarily relocating the light to a sunnier spot if possible.
Troubleshooting
