5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Charge

Before first use, allow the solar lamp to charge in direct sunlight for a minimum of 8-10 hours with the switch in the 'OFF' position. This ensures the integrated battery is fully charged for optimal performance.

5.2 Setting Operating Modes

The Lutec Inka Solar Wall Lamp features a control switch located on the underside of the unit, allowing you to select different brightness modes or turn the lamp off. The lamp automatically activates at dusk and deactivates at dawn when a mode is selected.

Figure 5.1: Detail of the control switch for selecting operating modes.

• OFF: The lamp is completely off and will not illuminate. This position is recommended for initial charging or extended storage.
• L (Low Brightness): The lamp will illuminate at a low brightness level from dusk until dawn, provided there is sufficient battery charge.
• M (Medium Brightness): The lamp will illuminate at a medium brightness level from dusk until dawn, provided there is sufficient battery charge.
• H (High Brightness): The lamp will illuminate at a high brightness level from dusk until dawn, provided there is sufficient battery charge. This mode consumes the most power and may result in shorter illumination times if the battery is not fully charged.

Select the desired mode by sliding the switch to the corresponding position. The lamp will then operate automatically based on ambient light conditions.
