3. Setup and Installation

Your APONUO Solar Spot Lights offer two installation methods: ground stake and wall mount. Choose the method that best suits your lighting needs.

3.1 Important Considerations Before Installation

• Location: Ensure the solar panel receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal charging. Avoid placing lights under trees, eaves, or other shaded areas.
• Initial Charge: For best performance, allow the lights to charge for at least 6-8 hours in direct sunlight before first use.
• Activation: The lights typically have an ON/OFF button. Ensure it is in the 'ON' position for automatic operation.

3.2 Ground Stake Installation

1. Attach the ground stake to the bottom of the light fixture.
2. Select a location with ample direct sunlight.
3. Gently push the assembled light into the ground. Ensure the stake is firmly planted to prevent tipping.
4. Adjust the angle of the solar panel to face the sun for maximum exposure. The light head can also be adjusted to direct illumination.

3.3 Wall Mount Installation

1. Identify a suitable wall or vertical surface that receives direct sunlight.
2. Mark the positions for drilling using the mounting bracket as a template.
3. Drill holes and insert the wall plugs.
4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall with the provided screws.
5. Attach the light fixture to the mounted bracket.
6. Adjust the solar panel and light head to the desired angles.

4. Operating Instructions

Your APONUO Solar Spot Lights are designed for automatic operation, charging during the day and illuminating at night.

4.1 Automatic Operation (Dusk to Dawn)

• The integrated light sensor automatically detects ambient light levels.
• During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and stores it in the internal battery.
• At dusk, when light levels drop, the lights will automatically turn on.
• At dawn, when light levels rise, the lights will automatically turn off and begin recharging.

4.2 Brightness Modes

The lights feature 3 brightness modes, allowing you to customize the illumination intensity and duration. Press the ON/OFF/MODE button located on the light fixture to cycle through the modes:

• Mode 1 (High Brightness): Provides maximum illumination for approximately 8 hours.
• Mode 2 (Medium Brightness): Offers balanced illumination for approximately 10 hours.
• Mode 3 (Low Brightness): Extends illumination time up to 20 hours with reduced brightness.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar spot lights.

• Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing plants, new structures) are blocking direct sunlight to the solar panel.
• Check Connections: Occasionally check that all connections are secure, especially if the lights are moved or exposed to strong winds.
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snow, clear snow from the solar panel to allow charging. While IP67 waterproof, extreme prolonged submersion should be avoided.
