Setup and Installation

No wiring is required for installation. Choose a location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily to ensure optimal charging.

Mounting Options:

1. Pier Mount Installation (Included Base):

   Use the included pier mount base to secure the light fixture onto a flat surface such as a wall, fence post, or pier. Mark the drilling points using the base as a template, drill pilot holes, insert anchors (if needed), and secure the base with screws. Then, attach the light fixture to the secured base.

2. Standard 3-inch Lamp Post Installation (Post Not Included):

   The light fixture is designed to fit directly onto a standard 3-inch diameter lamp post. Simply slide the light fixture onto the top of your existing 3-inch lamp post. Ensure it is seated firmly and securely.

After installation, ensure the ON/OFF switch (usually located near the solar panel or on the side of the light head) is set to the "ON" position for the light to begin charging and operating automatically.

Operating Instructions

Initial Activation:

Before first use, ensure the light is placed in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours with the ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position. This allows the internal battery to fully charge.

Dusk to Dawn Functionality:

The built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor automatically detects ambient light levels. The light will turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, conserving energy.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel and light fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum charging efficiency. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: The internal battery is replaceable. If the light's performance diminishes significantly over time, it may be time to replace the battery. Refer to the product's specific battery type (usually rechargeable Li-ion or Ni-MH) and follow instructions for safe replacement. Ensure the replacement battery matches the original specifications.
• Seasonal Care: In areas with heavy snow or prolonged periods of low sunlight, consider temporarily relocating the light to a sunnier spot or storing it indoors to preserve battery life.
