5. Setup and Installation

The split design allows for flexible placement of the solar panel and light unit. Choose a location that receives ample direct sunlight for the solar panel and the desired lighting area for the floodlight.

5.1 Choosing a Location

• Solar Panel: Mount the solar panel in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal charging. Avoid shaded areas.
• Light Unit: Position the light unit to cover the desired area. The 9.8ft cable provides flexibility to separate the light from the solar panel.

5.2 Mounting Instructions

The light can be installed using screws for wall mounting or tie straps for poles/trees.

1. Prepare for Installation: Rotate the solar panels from side to side and the central lamp vertically up and down to provide space for screw installation.
2. Mark Drill Holes: Hold the mounting bracket against the desired surface and mark the positions for the drill holes. For wall mounting, ensure hole spacing is 2.1 inches for the solar panel and 3.5 inches for the light unit.
3. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked positions. Insert wall anchors if mounting on masonry or drywall.
4. Secure the Unit: Attach the light unit and solar panel to the surface using the provided screws. For cable tie installation, insert the ties through the mounting holes and secure the light to a pole, trunk, or fence.
5. Adjust Light Heads and Solar Panel: The solar panel can be adjusted up and down by 60 degrees (optimum tilt is usually 20 degrees). The floodlight head can be adjusted horizontally up to 45 degrees. The side lamp heads can be adjusted horizontally up to 90 degrees.
6. Connect Cable: Connect the cable from the solar panel to the light unit.

6. Operating Instructions

Your intelamp solar flood light comes with a remote control to manage its various lighting modes and settings.

6.1 Remote Control Functions

• ON/OFF: Power the light on or off.
• 20s/30s/40s: Set the duration for which the light stays bright after motion detection in sensor modes.
• Dim Sensor Mode: Activates bright light on motion, then dims to a lower brightness when inactive.
• OFF Sensor Mode: Activates bright light on motion, then turns off when inactive.
• Dim Lighting Mode: Maintains a medium brightness for a set time (2H/4H/6H), then dims until dawn.
• OFF Lighting Mode: Maintains a medium brightness for a set time (2H/4H/6H), then turns off until dawn.
• Brightness Adjustment: Adjust the overall brightness (e.g., 60%, 80%, 100%).

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your solar flood lights.

• Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
• Battery: The light includes a Lithium Ion battery. While designed for long life, some reviews indicate the batteries are replaceable, extending the product's lifespan. Refer to manufacturer support for battery replacement guidelines if needed.

If you encounter issues with your intelamp solar flood lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Light Does Not Turn On at Night:
  • Ensure the light is switched ON via the remote control.
  • Verify the solar panel is receiving sufficient direct sunlight (6-8 hours daily). Relocate if necessary.
  • Check the connection cable between the solar panel and the light unit for any disconnections or damage.
  • The battery might be depleted. Allow several days of full sunlight charging.
• Light Stays Dim or Only Works for a Short Period:
  • The solar panel may not be charging effectively due to dirt, debris, or insufficient sunlight. Clean the panel and ensure optimal placement.
  • Battery capacity might be reduced due to prolonged use or extreme temperatures.
  • Ensure the selected lighting mode and duration settings are appropriate for your needs.
• Motion Sensor Not Working:
  • Ensure the light is in a motion sensor mode (Dim + Sensor or OFF + Sensor).
  • Check for obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
  • Verify the sensor is clean and free from dirt.
