4.1 Initial Setup
- Before first use, locate the ON/OFF switch on the light unit. Ensure it is switched to the "ON" position.
- Allow the solar panel to charge in direct sunlight for 5-8 hours to ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
4.2 Mounting Instructions
Choose a location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging. The light should be installed where its motion sensor can effectively cover the desired area.
- Mark the desired mounting position on the wall.
- Drill holes at the marked positions.
- Insert the expansion tubes into the drilled holes.
- Align the light fixture with the holes and secure it using the provided mounting screws.

5. Operating Instructions
The pearlstar Solar Wall Light features three distinct operating modes, selectable via a button on the unit.
5.1 Mode Selection
- Mode 1 (Human Body Sensor Mode): Press the button once (long press for 1 second to activate initially). The light will turn on to full brightness when motion is detected and automatically turn off after 15 seconds of no motion.
- Mode 2 (Human Interaction + Low Light Mode): Press the button twice. The light will turn on to full brightness when motion is detected. After 15 seconds of no motion, it will switch to a low light mode. It will return to full brightness upon subsequent motion detection.
- Mode 3 (Low Light Mode): Press the button three times. The light will remain in a constant low light state throughout the night, regardless of motion detection.

5.2 Automatic Operation
Once the desired mode is selected and the switch is ON, the light will automatically charge during the day (5-8 hours of direct sunlight) and illuminate for 6-12 hours at night, based on the selected mode and charge level.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your solar wall lights, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or other objects are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the fixture for any physical damage or loose components.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | ON/OFF switch is OFF. Insufficient solar charge. | Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position. Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light stays on during the day. | Light sensor is obstructed or in a dark area. | Ensure the solar panel/light sensor is exposed to daylight. Move the light to a brighter location. |
| Motion sensor not working correctly. | Incorrect mode selected. Sensor obstructed. | Verify the light is in Mode 1 or Mode 2. Ensure the sensor is not blocked and is facing the desired detection area. |
| Short illumination time. | Insufficient solar charge. Battery degradation. | Ensure the light receives 5-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Clean the solar panel. If the problem persists after extended use, the internal battery may be reaching the end of its lifespan (non-removable). |
