3. Product Overview

The Luceco Solar Floodlight combines an efficient LED light source with a high-performance solar panel and a sensitive PIR motion sensor. Key features include:

• 11W Solar-Powered LED: High-efficiency LED chips output 1500 lumens of 4000K neutral white light.
• PIR Photocell Motion Sensor: Detects movement up to 10 meters with a 120° detection angle.
• Two Operating Modes: Full brightness then dims, or full brightness then turns off after 20 seconds of no motion. Sensors can be disabled for continual light.
• Detachable Solar Panel: Comes with a 5-meter extension cable, allowing flexible placement for optimal solar charging.
• Durable Construction: Polycarbonate body with IP65 weatherproof rating for year-round outdoor use.

4. Setup and Installation

The floodlight is designed for effortless installation with no wiring required.

4.1. Choosing a Location

• Select a location for the floodlight that provides the desired illumination coverage for your garden, porch, or driveway.
• For the solar panel, choose a spot that receives direct sunlight for 8-10 hours daily, especially during peak daylight hours. The 5-meter extension cable allows flexibility in positioning the solar panel away from the light unit if needed.

4.2. Mounting the Unit

1. Using the included fixings, screw the detachable bracket securely to your chosen wall or surface. The bracket offers both wall and table mount options.
2. Attach the floodlight unit to the mounted bracket. Ensure it is firmly secured.
3. Connect the solar panel cable to the floodlight unit. Ensure the connection is tight and secure to maintain the IP65 rating.
4. Adjust the angle of both the solar panel and the light unit to optimize solar exposure and direct light where needed.

5. Operating Instructions

The floodlight operates automatically based on light levels and motion detection.

5.1. Initial Charge

Before first use, allow the solar panel to charge the internal Li-ion 3.7V (4000mAh) battery for 8-10 hours in direct sunlight. The light will not operate during daylight hours.

5.2. Motion Sensor Modes

The PIR photocell motion sensor offers two primary operating modes, which can be selected via controls on the unit:

• Mode 1 (Full Brightness then Dims): When motion is detected, the light illuminates at full brightness (1500lm). After 20 seconds of no motion, it will dim to a lower brightness level to conserve power while still providing ambient light.
• Mode 2 (Full Brightness then Off): When motion is detected, the light illuminates at full brightness (1500lm). After 20 seconds of no motion, it will turn off completely.
• Continual Light Mode: Both the PIR and photocell sensors can be disabled to allow the light to operate continually at a set brightness level during darkness, until the battery depletes or daylight returns.

The motion sensor has a detection range of up to 10 meters and a 120° angle. Ensure the sensor is not obstructed for optimal performance.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your floodlight.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel and the light's surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
• Inspection: Regularly check the mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain secure. Verify that the cable connection between the solar panel and the light unit is tight and free from damage to maintain its weather resistance.
• Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage) are blocking direct sunlight to the solar panel or interfering with the motion sensor's field of view.
