3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly set up your Xanlite solar pathway lights:
3.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Inspect each light for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not proceed with installation and contact customer support.
3.2 Assembly
- Attach the ground stake to the bottom of each light's pole. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- The light head, pole, and stake should form a single unit.

3.3 Placement for Optimal Charging
- Select a location for each light that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Shaded areas will significantly reduce charging efficiency and operating time.
- Avoid placing lights under eaves, trees, or other structures that may block sunlight or cast shadows on the solar panel.
- Ensure the solar panel on top of each light is clean and unobstructed.
- Gently push the assembled light into the ground using the ground stake. Do not force it into hard soil; pre-dig a small hole if necessary to prevent damage to the stake or light.

3.4 Initial Charge
Before first use, allow the lights to charge in direct sunlight for a full day (at least 8 hours) with the switch in the "ON" position. This ensures the internal battery receives an adequate initial charge.
4. Operating Instructions
The Xanlite PACK6SO1017 solar lights are designed for automatic operation.
4.1 Power On/Off
Locate the power switch, typically found on the underside of the solar panel housing. Set the switch to the "ON" position for automatic operation. Set to "OFF" to disable the light.
4.2 Automatic Operation
Once switched "ON" and sufficiently charged, the lights will automatically:
- Turn on at dusk.
- Operate for up to 8 hours, depending on the amount of sunlight received during the day.
- Turn off at dawn or when the battery is depleted.
4.3 Color Changing (RGB)
The lights feature RGB LEDs, allowing for color changes. The method for changing colors is typically via a small button or by cycling the main power switch. Refer to the specific product packaging or a small label on the light for exact instructions on how to switch between white and RGB color modes, or to select a specific color if available.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity 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 maximum sunlight absorption for charging.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing plants, new structures) are blocking sunlight from reaching the solar panels.
- Battery: The lights contain an internal rechargeable battery. While not user-replaceable, ensuring proper charging conditions will extend its lifespan. Note: Some units may contain 1x AAA 1.2V 100mAh NI-MH batteries, while specifications might suggest 600mAh. This can affect autonomy.
- Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, switch them to the "OFF" position and store them in a dry place. It is recommended to fully charge them before storage and recharge them every few months to maintain battery health.
6. Troubleshooting
If your Xanlite solar lights are not performing as expected, consider the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | 1. Switch is in "OFF" position. 2. Insufficient sunlight for charging. 3. Solar panel is dirty or obstructed. 4. Battery is depleted or faulty. | 1. Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position. 2. Relocate the light to an area with direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily. 3. Clean the solar panel. Remove any obstructions. 4. Allow several days of full charge. If the problem persists, the battery may need replacement (contact support if under warranty). |
| Light operates for a short duration. | 1. Insufficient daily charge. 2. Battery capacity reduced (aging or lower capacity battery). | 1. Ensure optimal solar panel exposure. Clean the panel regularly. 2. Battery performance naturally degrades over time. If a lower capacity battery (e.g., 100mAh instead of 600mAh) is present, this will affect autonomy. |
| Light is dim. | 1. Insufficient charge. 2. Dirty solar panel or light housing. 3. Battery nearing end of life. | 1. Ensure full daily charge. 2. Clean the solar panel and the clear light housing. 3. Battery may need replacement. |
