4. Setup and Installation
Before Installation:
- Initial Charge: For optimal performance, allow the lights to charge in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours before the first use.
- Location Selection: Choose a location where the solar panel on top of the light will receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day. Avoid shaded areas.
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and stable.
Installation Steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all lights and mounting screws from the packaging.
- Activate (for 2-Color Lights): For the 2-Color lights, locate the switch on the bottom of the unit. Flip the switch to your desired color setting (White or Warm White) or to the 'ON' position if it has a simple ON/OFF switch. The single-color lights typically activate automatically at dusk.
- Position: Place the light in the desired location on your driveway, dock, or deck.
- Mark Holes: Use a marker or pencil to mark the positions for the mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes on the light.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Depending on your surface material (wood, concrete, etc.), drill appropriate pilot holes if necessary.
- Secure: Align the light with the pilot holes and secure it firmly using the provided mounting screws. Do not overtighten.

5. Operating Instructions
Automatic Operation:
Once installed and sufficiently charged, your VOLISUN solar lights will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn. The integrated light sensor detects ambient light levels to manage this function.
Color Selection (for 2-Color Lights):
The 2-Color lights (White + Warm White) feature a switch on the bottom of the unit. To change the lighting color, simply flip this switch to select between white and warm white illumination. Ensure the switch is set to your preferred color before final installation if access will be limited.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar lights.
- Clean Solar Panels: Periodically wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or structures are shading the solar panels, especially during peak sunlight hours.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the lights for any physical damage or loose screws. Tighten screws as needed.
- Battery Replacement: While designed for long life, if the light duration significantly decreases over time, the internal rechargeable battery may need replacement. Consult VOLISUN support for compatible battery types and replacement procedures.
