- Ground Installation: Attach the ground stake to the solar panel bracket and firmly insert it into the ground.
- Wall Installation: Use the provided screws and wall plugs to mount the solar panel securely on a wall.
- Position Control Box: Place the control box in a suitable location, ensuring its cable can reach the solar panel and the spotlights.
- Connect Components: Connect the solar panel cable to the input port on the control box. Connect each of the six spotlight cables to the output ports on the control box. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Install Spotlights:
- Ground Installation: Attach the ground stake to each spotlight and insert them into the desired ground locations.
- Wall Installation: Use screws to mount the spotlights on walls, fences, or other surfaces.
- Adjust Angles: Adjust the angle of the solar panel to face the sun directly. Adjust the angle of each spotlight up to 180 degrees to illuminate your desired areas.
- Initial Charge: Allow the solar panel to charge the battery for at least 6-8 hours in direct sunlight before first use. The indicator red light on the control box will be on during charging.

6. Operating Instructions
The MEIKEE Solar Landscape Lights are designed for automatic operation with adjustable settings.
Automatic Operation
The lights feature an auto on/off function. They will automatically charge during the day and illuminate at night. The indicator red light on the control box will turn off when the lights are active at night.
Figure 6.1: The solar panel charges the battery during the day (6-8 hours for full charge), and the lights automatically turn on at night, providing 8-20 hours of illumination depending on the brightness setting.
Adjusting Brightness Modes
The lights offer three brightness levels. Use the push button on the control box to cycle through the modes:
- Low Brightness Mode: Provides over 20 hours of illumination.
- Medium Brightness Mode: Provides over 12 hours of illumination.
- High Brightness Mode: Provides over 8 hours of illumination.

Dynamic Lighting Modes
In addition to static brightness, the lights offer two dynamic modes:
- Smooth Mode: The brightness gently transitions from strong to weak and cycles continuously.
- Flash Mode: The lights turn on, then off, then on again in a rhythmic pulse.

7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MEIKEE Solar Landscape Lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Inspect Connections: Periodically check all cable connections to the control box and spotlights to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing plants, new structures) are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
- Seasonal Adjustments: In winter months or areas with less sunlight, you may need to adjust the solar panel's angle to capture more direct sun.
