Setup and Installation
The INTELAMP Solar Outdoor Light is designed for easy installation on walls, trees, or poles. For optimal charging, ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive direct sunlight for most of the day. The ideal installation height is approximately 1.7 to 2 meters (5.6 to 6.6 feet).
Wall Mounting (Using Screws)
- Mark and Drill Holes: Choose a suitable location on a wall. Mark two points 9 cm (approximately 3.5 inches) apart horizontally. Drill holes at these marked points.
- Insert Anchors: Insert the provided screw anchors into the drilled holes.
- Prepare Light for Mounting: Rotate the solar panel upwards and the light heads downwards to expose the screw holes on the mounting base.
- Secure the Light: Align the light's mounting holes with the anchors and secure it firmly using the provided screws.
- Adjust Panel and Lights: Once mounted, adjust the solar panel to face the sun and the light heads to cover the desired illumination area.

Tree/Pole Mounting (Using Cable Ties)
- Thread Cable Ties: Thread the provided cable ties through the designated fastening holes on the back of the light's mounting base.
- Attach to Tree/Pole: Position the light on the tree or pole and secure it tightly using the cable ties. Ensure the solar panel is facing a direction that receives maximum sunlight.

Operating Instructions
The INTELAMP Solar Outdoor Light is equipped with an intelligent light control chip that automatically charges during the day and illuminates at night. It features two PIR motion sensors for enhanced detection and offers three distinct lighting modes.
Motion Sensor Functionality
The dual PIR sensors detect motion across a wide 180-degree range, with a detection distance of 10 to 16 meters (approximately 33 to 52 feet). This wide coverage ensures reliable activation when movement is detected.

Lighting Modes
The light offers three modes to suit different needs. To cycle through the modes, press the mode button located on the back of the unit (refer to product diagram for exact location).
- Mode 1 (Sensor Mode - High Brightness): The light remains off until motion is detected. Upon detection, it illuminates at high brightness (1200 lumens) for approximately 15-30 seconds, then turns off if no further motion is detected.
- Mode 2 (Sensor Mode - Dim to High Brightness): The light stays at a low brightness (dim mode) at night. When motion is detected, it switches to high brightness for 15-30 seconds, then returns to dim mode.
- Mode 3 (Constant ON Mode): The light automatically turns on at dusk and stays on at a medium brightness throughout the night, regardless of motion.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity 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 efficient charging.
- Checking for Obstructions: Ensure no trees, buildings, or other objects are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel, especially during peak daylight hours.
- Battery Care: The light uses a high-capacity 6000mAh lithium iron phosphate battery. This battery is designed for long life (over 3000 charge cycles) and is not user-replaceable. Avoid prolonged storage in a completely discharged state.
- Environmental Protection: The IP65 waterproof rating protects against rain and dust. However, avoid submerging the unit in water.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your INTELAMP Solar Outdoor Light, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient charging due to lack of direct sunlight. | Ensure the solar panel is exposed to 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Relocate if necessary. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short period. | Battery not fully charged or low battery capacity. | Allow the light to charge for 1-2 full sunny days. Clean the solar panel to ensure maximum efficiency. |
| Motion sensor is not detecting movement. | Sensor obstructed or incorrect mode selected. | Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Verify the light is in a motion-sensing mode (Mode 1 or 2). |
| Light flickers or behaves erratically. | Loose connection or internal fault. | Gently tap the unit to check for loose connections. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Water ingress despite IP65 rating. | Extreme weather conditions or improper sealing. | While IP65 is waterproof, it is not designed for submersion. Ensure all seals are intact. If damage is visible, contact support. |
