6. Operating Instructions
The SYLVANIA Gizmo Solar LED Wall Light features automatic operation and an integrated on/off switch.
6.1 Initial Activation
Before first use, ensure the light is switched to the "ON" position using the integrated switch. Allow the solar panel to charge in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours to ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
6.2 Automatic Operation
Once charged and switched "ON", the light will operate automatically:
- During the day, the solar panel will charge the internal battery. The light will remain off.
- As darkness falls, the daylight sensor will detect low light conditions.
- When motion is detected by the PIR sensor in dark conditions, the light will illuminate at full brightness (345 lumens).
- The light will remain on for a set duration (typically 20-30 seconds) after motion ceases, then turn off to conserve battery power.
