- Automatic Operation: Lights automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, requiring no manual control.
Setup and Installation
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and inspect for any damage.
- Activate the Switch: Before initial use, locate the ON/OFF switch on the underside of the light and slide it to the "ON" position.
- Select Lighting Mode: The lights offer two color modes (Warm White and Cool White). Use the switch to select your desired mode.
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location that receives direct sunlight for at least 4-5 hours daily to ensure optimal charging. Avoid shaded areas.
- Installation Methods:
- Ground Placement: Simply place the lights directly on the ground in your desired pattern.
- Screw Fixing: For more permanent installation on surfaces like wood decks or concrete, use the provided screws and anchors. Mark the desired positions, drill pilot holes, insert anchors (if needed), and secure the lights with screws.
- Initial Charge: Allow the lights to charge for a full day (4-5 hours of direct sunlight) before their first night of use to ensure maximum battery capacity.

Operating Instructions
Once installed and fully charged, your AGPTEK Solar Outdoor Ground Lights will operate automatically:
- Daytime: The solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and stores it in the internal battery. The lights will remain off during the day.
- Nighttime: An integrated light sensor detects darkness, automatically activating the lights in your chosen color mode (Warm White or Cool White).
- Duration: A full charge typically provides illumination from dusk until dawn.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your solar lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panels: Regularly wipe the solar panel 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 panel, especially during peak sunlight hours.
- Battery Care: While the battery is sealed, prolonged periods of low sunlight may reduce illumination time. If this occurs, ensure the lights receive several days of full sun exposure.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the lights for any physical damage to the casing or solar panel.
Troubleshooting
If your solar lights are not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | 1. Switch is OFF. 2. Insufficient sunlight for charging. 3. Solar panel is dirty or obstructed. 4. Light sensor is detecting ambient light. | 1. Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position. 2. Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. 3. Clean the solar panel. Remove any obstructions. 4. Ensure the light is not near other strong light sources (e.g., streetlights, porch lights). |
| Light duration is short. | 1. Insufficient charging. 2. Battery capacity reduced due to age or extreme temperatures. | 1. Ensure the light receives 4-5 hours of direct sunlight daily. Clean the solar panel. 2. Allow several days of full charge. If the issue persists after extended use, the battery may need replacement (not user-serviceable). |
| Light flickers or is dim. | 1. Low battery charge. 2. Loose connection (unlikely for sealed unit). | 1. Ensure adequate charging time in direct sunlight. 2. If new, ensure the switch is fully engaged. If problem persists, contact support. |
