3. Operating Instructions
The LUTEC Solar Lamp Post Light features a multi-function switch to select between different operating modes. The light automatically activates at dusk and deactivates at dawn.
3.1 Mode Selection
Locate the mode selection switch on the fixture. Choose one of the following three lighting modes:
- ON Mode: The light will illuminate at 100% brightness continuously from dusk until dawn, for a maximum of 10 hours.
- AUTO Mode: The light remains off at night until motion is detected. Upon motion detection, it illuminates at 100% brightness for 60 seconds, then turns off.
- DIM Mode: The light stays on at a continuous 10% brightness at night. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for 60 seconds, then returns to 10% brightness.

5. Troubleshooting
If your solar lamp post light is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charge. | Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light is dim or turns off too early. | Inadequate solar charge or battery degradation. | Relocate the fixture to an area with more direct sunlight. Ensure solar panel is clean. If issue persists after prolonged use, battery may need replacement (contact support). |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Sensor obstructed or incorrect mode. | Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Verify the light is set to AUTO or DIM mode. |
