Installation
The nipify Solar Spot Lights offer two versatile installation methods:
1. Ground Insertion (Spotlight Function)
- Attach the ground stake to the bottom of the solar light unit. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Select a location in your garden, yard, or pathway that receives direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily to ensure optimal charging.
- Gently push the assembled light and stake into the soft ground until the light unit is stable.
- Adjust the angle of the solar panel and the light head (up to 90 degrees vertically) to maximize sun exposure and direct the light beam as desired.
2. Wall Mounting (Wall Light Function)
- Detach the ground stake if it is already attached.
- Choose a wall location that receives ample direct sunlight for charging.
- Mark the positions for drilling using the light's mounting bracket as a template.
- Drill holes at the marked positions and insert the provided wall plugs (anchors).
- Align the light's mounting bracket with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws.
- Adjust the angle of the solar panel and light head to optimize sun exposure and light direction.

Operating Instructions
The nipify Solar Spot Light features an intelligent light sensor and motion sensor for automatic operation. Before first use, ensure the lights are fully charged under direct sunlight for 6-8 hours.
Automatic Operation
- The solar lights will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
- During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and stores it in the internal battery.
- After a full charge, the lights can operate for 10-12 hours depending on the selected mode and motion activity.
Figure 4: Daytime Charging and Nighttime Illumination. The solar panel efficiently charges the battery during daylight hours, and the light automatically activates when darkness falls.
Lighting Modes
The lights offer three distinct lighting modes, selectable via a button on the unit:
- Mode 1 (Constant Dim Light): The light stays on at a constant dim brightness (approximately 30%) throughout the night, without motion sensor activation. This mode provides continuous ambient lighting.
- Mode 2 (Dim Light Sensor Mode): The light stays on at a dim brightness (approximately 30%). When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for approximately 22 seconds, then returns to dim light.
- Mode 3 (Security Motion Sensor Mode): The light remains off until motion is detected. When motion is detected, it illuminates at 100% brightness for approximately 22 seconds, then turns off completely. This mode is ideal for security and maximizing battery life.
To cycle through the modes, press the mode button located on the back of the light unit. The light will indicate the current mode by its behavior.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your solar spot lights.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Placement: Ensure the solar panel remains free from obstructions like leaves, snow, or shade from trees/buildings, especially during winter months.
- Battery Life: The integrated Lithium Ion battery is designed for long-term use. If the light's performance significantly degrades over time, ensure it is receiving adequate sunlight for charging.
- Weather Resistance: While IP65 waterproof, extreme weather conditions (e.g., prolonged heavy snow, severe storms) may temporarily affect performance. The lights are designed to withstand temperatures from -20°C to 50°C.
