• 8 x Solar Spotlights
• 8 x Ground Stakes
• 8 x 2 Screws (for wall mounting)
• 1 x Instruction Manual

Features

• 52 LED Solar Spotlight with Motion Sensor: Each light is equipped with 52 LEDs and a sensitive PIR motion detector, providing bright cool white light (6500 Kelvin) and enhancing security.
• 3 Lighting Modes:
  1. Sensor Light Mode: Full brightness when motion is detected, turns off when no motion is detected.
  2. Dim Light Sensor Mode: Low brightness when no motion is detected, switches to full brightness when motion is detected.
  3. Constant ON Dusk to Dawn: Medium brightness for continuous illumination throughout the night.
• Auto ON/OFF & Adjustable Solar Panel: Powered by solar energy, the lights automatically recharge for 6-8 hours during the day and illuminate for 8-12 hours at night. The solar panel can be adjusted 180° vertically to optimize sunlight absorption.
• IP65 Waterproof: Constructed from rugged plastic, these lights are durable, cold, and heat resistant. The IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress, making them suitable for year-round outdoor use.
• 2-in-1 Installation: No wiring is required. Lights can be mounted on the ground using stakes or on a wall using the provided screws.

Setup and Installation

Initial Charging

Before first use, place the solar spotlights in direct sunlight for a full day (6-8 hours) to ensure the internal 1500 mAh battery is fully charged. This optimizes performance and battery life.

Ground Insertion

1. Attach the ground stake to the bottom of the spotlight unit.
2. Select a location in your yard or garden that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day.
3. Gently push the stake into the soil until the spotlight is securely in place. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

Wall Mounting

1. Identify a suitable wall location that receives direct sunlight.
2. Use the provided screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
3. Attach the spotlight unit to the mounted bracket.

Adjusting the Solar Panel

The solar panel can be adjusted 180 degrees up and down. Angle the solar panel to face the sun's path for maximum exposure, especially during peak daylight hours, to ensure optimal charging efficiency.

Operating Instructions

Selecting Lighting Modes

Each spotlight has a button to cycle through the three lighting modes. To select a mode, cover the solar panel to simulate darkness, then press the button to switch between modes. The light will briefly illuminate to indicate the selected mode.

• Mode 1 (Sensor Light Mode): Press once. Light turns off until motion is detected, then illuminates at 100% brightness for approximately 20 seconds.
• Mode 2 (Dim Light Sensor Mode): Press twice. Light stays at 30% brightness, then illuminates at 100% brightness when motion is detected.
• Mode 3 (Constant ON Dusk to Dawn): Press three times. Light stays at 50% brightness continuously from dusk until dawn.
• OFF: Press four times to turn the light off.

Automatic Operation

Once a mode is selected, the lights will operate automatically. They will charge during the day and activate according to the chosen mode when it gets dark.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solar spotlights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Clean Solar Panels: Regularly wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures efficient sunlight absorption and charging.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure that no trees, bushes, or other objects are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panels.
• Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the lights for any physical damage, especially after severe weather conditions.
• Battery Life: The integrated battery is designed for long-term use. If you notice a significant decrease in illumination time, ensure the panels are clean and receiving adequate sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If your solar lights are not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues:

• Light not turning on at night:
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions.
  • Verify the light has received sufficient direct sunlight for charging (6-8 hours).
  • Check if the selected lighting mode is appropriate for your desired operation.
  • Confirm the switch is not in the 'OFF' position.
• Light not bright enough or short illumination time:
  • The solar panel might not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Adjust its angle or relocate the light.
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean.
  • Environmental factors like heavy cloud cover can affect charging efficiency.
• Motion sensor not detecting:
  • Ensure the light is in Mode 1 or Mode 2.
  • Check for obstructions in front of the motion sensor.
  • The detection range might be affected by ambient temperature or the speed of movement.
