4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Choose an Installation Location: Select a location for the solar panel that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day (6-8 hours recommended). Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or other obstructions. The flood light can be mounted in the desired illumination area, up to 5 meters away from the solar panel.
- Mount the Solar Panel: Use the provided bolts, wing nuts, and C-clamp to securely mount the solar panel. Ensure it is angled to capture optimal sunlight.
- Mount the Flood Light: Secure the flood light in your desired outdoor location using the anchor bolts. The aluminum body is designed for durability in outdoor conditions.
- Connect the Cable: Connect the 5-meter cable from the solar panel to the flood light. Ensure the connection is tight and waterproof.
- Initial Charge: For optimal performance, allow the solar panel to charge the battery in direct sunlight for at least 2 full days before the first use. This ensures the 30000mAh lithium battery is fully conditioned.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charge; solar panel obstructed; light sensor interference. | Ensure solar panel receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. Relocate the light away from other strong light sources (e.g., streetlights). Check cable connection. |
| Light is dim or runs for a short duration. | Insufficient solar charge; aged battery. | Ensure adequate charging time. Consider replacing the battery if it's old and performance has significantly decreased. |
| Remote control not working. | Battery in remote is dead; remote not pointed correctly. | Replace the remote control batteries. Ensure direct line of sight to the flood light's sensor. |
| Water condensation inside the glass. | Temperature fluctuations; minor seal issue. | This can sometimes occur due to temperature changes and usually dissipates. If it persists or affects performance, contact customer support. |
