Before first use, ensure the lights are fully charged under direct sunlight for 4-6 hours. Locate the ON/OFF switch, typically on the underside or side of the light, and set it to the desired lighting mode (ON1 for warm, ON2 for cool, or OFF).
Choosing an Installation Location:
For optimal performance, select a location where the solar panel can receive direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Avoid shaded areas under trees, buildings, or dense foliage.

1. Ground Installation (for lawns, gardens, walkways):
- Attach the ground spike firmly to the bottom of the solar light unit.
- For soft soil, gently push the assembled light into the ground until the light unit is flush with the surface.
- For hard ground, it is recommended to loosen the soil first with a small shovel or tool before inserting the spike to prevent damage.
2. Deck/Fence Installation:
- Use the provided foam tape or suitable adhesive to secure the light unit directly onto a flat surface of your deck or fence. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
- Verify that the solar panel faces upwards and is exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Table Decor Placement:
- Simply place the light unit on any outdoor table or flat surface as a decorative accent.
- Ensure the solar panel is unobstructed to allow for proper charging.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, leaves, or snow. A clean solar panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
