Setup and Installation
Mounting Considerations
Choose a mounting location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal solar panel charging. The floodlight can be wall-mounted, and the solar panel can be mounted separately on a wall or with a ground stake for versatile placement.
- Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the weight of the fixture.
- Position the solar panel to maximize sun exposure, ideally facing south.
- The dual heads are adjustable, allowing you to direct light precisely where needed.

Operating Instructions
Motion Sensor Functionality
The integrated motion sensor detects movement up to 50 feet away, activating the floodlight when motion is detected within its range. This feature provides on-demand illumination for security and convenience.

Dusk-to-Dawn Operation
The built-in photocell sensor automatically turns the floodlight on when ambient light levels drop (dusk) and turns it off when daylight returns (dawn). This ensures continuous illumination during nighttime hours without manual intervention.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your floodlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Light does not turn on at night:
- Ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate direct sunlight during the day.
- Check for any obstructions blocking the solar panel or the photocell sensor.
- Verify that the light is fully charged. Allow 1-2 days of full sunlight charging before first use.
- Motion sensor is not detecting:
- Confirm the motion sensor is clean and free from debris.
- Ensure the sensor's range is not obstructed by objects or foliage.
- Check the angle of the sensor to ensure it covers the desired area.
- Light stays on during the day:
- The photocell sensor may be obstructed or in a shaded area, preventing it from detecting daylight. Relocate or clear obstructions.
