Safety Instructions
Please read these safety instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.
- Ensure the product is installed in a location where it receives adequate direct sunlight for optimal charging.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the lamp. This will void the warranty and may cause damage.
- Keep the solar panel clean and free from obstructions (e.g., leaves, snow) to ensure efficient charging.
- The lamp is rated IP44 for weather resistance, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction. While robust, avoid submerging the lamp in water.
- Use only the specified USB-C cable and a compatible power adapter (not included) for manual charging.

Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Calex Asti Solar Wall Lamp:
- Choose a Location: Select an outdoor location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. This is crucial for the solar panel to charge the battery effectively. Avoid shaded areas or locations under eaves that might block sunlight.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the lamp against the desired mounting surface and mark the positions for the mounting screws. Ensure the lamp is level.
- Drill Holes: Use an appropriate drill bit for your wall material and drill holes at the marked points. Insert wall plugs if necessary.
- Mount the Lamp: Secure the lamp to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Initial Charge: Allow the lamp to charge in direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours before its first use to ensure the battery is fully charged. Alternatively, use the USB-C port for an initial charge.

Operating Instructions
The Calex Asti Solar Wall Lamp is designed for automatic operation:
- Day/Night Sensor: The lamp features a built-in light sensor that automatically detects ambient light levels. It will only activate its lighting functions when it is dark enough (e.g., at dusk or night).
- Motion Sensor: Once activated by darkness, the integrated motion sensor will detect movement within a range of up to 3 meters and a 110° detection angle. Upon detecting motion, the lamp will illuminate at its full brightness (150 lumens, 2700K warm white). After a period of no motion, the light will automatically dim or turn off to conserve energy.
- Operating Duration: On a full charge, the lamp can provide up to 10 hours of illumination, depending on the frequency of motion detection and ambient light conditions.

Charging
The Calex Asti Solar Wall Lamp primarily charges via its integrated solar panel. However, it also offers a convenient alternative charging method:
- Solar Charging: The solar panel on top of the lamp converts sunlight into electrical energy, which is stored in the internal battery. Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for optimal charging.
- USB-C Charging: In periods of prolonged cloudy weather, during winter months with less sunlight, or if the lamp is installed in a shaded area, you can manually charge the lamp using a USB-C cable (not included). The USB-C port is typically located on the underside or side of the lamp. A full charge via USB-C takes approximately 2-3 hours. This ensures reliable operation even when solar charging is insufficient.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Calex Asti Solar Wall Lamp, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient charging.
- Clean the Lamp Body: Clean the lamp's housing and glass cylinder with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Check for Obstructions: Periodically check that no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage) are blocking the solar panel or the motion sensor.
- Winter Care: While the lamp is weather-resistant, prolonged periods of extreme cold or heavy snow may reduce battery performance. Consider bringing the lamp indoors or manually charging it via USB-C during harsh winter conditions if solar charging is insufficient.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Calex Asti Solar Wall Lamp, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lamp does not light up at night. | Insufficient solar charge. Day/night sensor detecting too much light. |
Ensure the solar panel receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Clean the solar panel. Manually charge via USB-C. Relocate the lamp to a darker area or away from other light sources. |
| Light is dim or only lasts a short time. | Battery not fully charged. Old battery (over time, battery capacity can decrease). |
Ensure optimal solar charging or use USB-C charging. If the lamp is several years old, the internal battery may need replacement (consult manufacturer for service). |
| Motion sensor not working or too sensitive. | Sensor obstructed or dirty. Incorrect installation height/angle. |
Clean the sensor lens. Ensure no foliage or objects are blocking the sensor's view. Verify installation height is within recommended range for optimal detection. |
