4. Setup and Installation

Installation of your SOLPEX Solar Outdoor Path Lights is quick and straightforward, requiring no complicated wiring.

1. Activate the Light: Gently twist the 'roof' of the light head to open it. Locate the power switch inside and slide it to the 'ON' position. Twist the 'roof' back into place securely.
2. Assemble the Stake: The ground stake comes with a pointed end inserted into the pole for safe packaging. Pull out the pointed bottom spike from the pole. Reverse it and firmly connect the spike to the bottom of the pole.
3. Connect Light Head to Pole: Attach the assembled light head to the top of the pole.
4. Positioning: Choose a location in your garden, pathway, or yard that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. This ensures optimal charging.
5. Ground Insertion: Gently push the assembled light into the ground. If the soil is hard, you may need to loosen it first or use a rubber mallet to gently tap the stake into place. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and activated, your SOLPEX Solar Outdoor Path Lights operate automatically:

• Daytime Charging: The integrated solar panel automatically charges the internal Ni-MH battery during daylight hours. A full charge typically requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
• Automatic Illumination: At dusk, the lights will automatically turn on, providing 8-10 hours of cold white LED illumination. At dawn, they will automatically turn off and begin recharging.
• Weather Resistance: The IP65 waterproof rating ensures the lights function reliably in various outdoor conditions, including rain, snow, and frost.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solar lights, follow these maintenance tips:

• Clean Solar Panels: Regularly wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct sunlight absorption.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or other objects are shading the solar panels, especially during peak sunlight hours.
• Battery Care: The lights use a 1.2V/1PC 100mAh AAA Ni-MH rechargeable battery. While designed for durability, if you notice a significant decrease in illumination time after prolonged use, the battery may need replacement. Use only compatible Ni-MH batteries.
• Seasonal Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, ensure they are fully charged and turn the switch to the 'OFF' position. Store them in a cool, dry place.
