Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack the Lantern: Carefully remove the solar lantern from its packaging.

  3. Initial Charging: Place the solar lantern in a location that receives direct sunlight for approximately 6 hours during the day. This initial charge is crucial for optimal performance. The charging efficiency is directly dependent on the intensity and duration of sunlight exposure.
  4. Placement Considerations: Choose a location for the lantern where it will not be affected by other strong light sources, such as street lamps, as these can interfere with the automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor and prevent the lantern from illuminating.

Operating Instructions

Once properly set up and charged, the TIGGSY Squirrel Solar Lantern operates automatically:

  • Automatic Operation: The lantern is equipped with a light sensor. It will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
  • Illumination Duration: After a full charge (approximately 6 hours of direct sunlight), the lantern is designed to light up for about 8 hours at night.
  • Placement Options: The lantern can be placed on the ground, on a tabletop, or hung using its integrated handle. When illuminated, it projects a unique squirrel and floral pattern, creating a decorative effect.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TIGGSY Squirrel Solar Lantern, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient charging.
  • Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the lantern for any physical damage, especially after severe weather conditions. Although the lantern is IP65 waterproof, extreme conditions can affect its integrity.
  • Storage: If storing the lantern for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged and the switch is set to the "OFF" position. Store it in a cool, dry place.
