Operating Instructions
The LUTEC Solar Porch Light operates automatically once installed and activated. It utilizes a built-in sensor to manage its lighting cycle.
Automatic Operation:
- Daytime Charging: The integrated solar panel automatically charges the internal battery during daylight hours. For optimal performance, ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed.
- Dusk to Dawn Sensor: The light is programmed to automatically turn on at dusk (when ambient light falls below approximately 30 lux) and turn off at dawn (when ambient light exceeds approximately 100 lux). This feature conserves energy and provides hands-free operation.
- Illumination Duration: When fully charged, the light can illuminate for 8-10 hours. Actual lighting time may vary based on the intensity and duration of sunlight received during the day.
