The light features 5 distinct lighting modes, selectable via the remote control:
- Mode 1 (Night Only): Maintains a dim light. Brightens to full intensity when motion is detected.
- Mode 2 (Night Only): Stays off initially. Turns on to full intensity when motion is detected.
- Mode 3 (Night Only): Provides continuous bright light throughout the night.
- Mode 4 (Day and Night): Stays off initially. Turns on to full intensity when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light conditions.
- Mode 5 (Auto Mode): Stays bright all day. Automatically switches to Mode 4 (motion-activated) when the battery level drops to 60%.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your solar shed light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charging; Power button OFF; Remote insulation card not removed; Faulty connection. | Ensure solar panel receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Press the power button on the light unit. Remove the clear insulation card from the remote. Check cable connections. |
| Light does not stay on continuously during the day. | Incorrect mode selected. | Modes 1, 2, and 3 are designed for night-time operation only. Mode 4 is motion-activated day/night. Mode 5 operates continuously during the day but switches to motion-activated when the battery drops to 60%. If continuous daylight operation is critical, ensure Mode 5 is selected and the battery is fully charged. |
| Reduced brightness or short working time. | Inadequate solar charging; Dirty solar panel; Battery degradation. | Relocate solar panel for better sun exposure. Clean the solar panel regularly. Battery capacity may decrease over time, which is normal for rechargeable batteries. |
| Remote control not working. | Insulation card still in place; Remote battery dead; Out of range. | Remove the clear insulation card. Replace the remote control battery. Ensure you are within 1-5 meters of the light unit. |
