• Motion Sensor: Detects movement to activate full brightness when needed.
• Remote Control: For adjusting settings such as ON/OFF, brightness, and timing modes.
• Mounting Arm: Designed for secure attachment to a pole or wall.

5. Setup and Installation

5.1 Site Selection

Choose an installation location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Avoid areas shaded by buildings, trees, or other obstructions, as this will significantly impact charging efficiency and light performance.

5.2 Mounting Instructions

1. Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the pole or wall where the light will be mounted is sturdy enough to support the weight of the fixture (approximately 5.65 kg).
2. Attach the Mounting Arm: Secure the mounting arm to the desired pole or wall using the provided screws and brackets. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
3. Mount the Light Fixture: Carefully attach the Gefolly SL-6800W light unit to the mounting arm. Tighten all bolts and screws to prevent movement or instability.
4. Adjust Angle (Optional): If applicable, adjust the angle of the light fixture to optimize illumination coverage for your specific area.

5.3 Initial Activation

After installation, ensure the light is exposed to direct sunlight for a full day (6-8 hours) to allow the internal batteries to charge sufficiently before first use. The light typically has an ON/OFF switch or button on the unit itself; ensure it is in the 'ON' position for automatic operation.

6. Operating Instructions

The Gefolly SL-6800W Solar Street Light operates automatically from dusk to dawn. It also features a motion sensor and remote control for customized settings.

6.1 Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn Operation

Once fully charged and the main power switch is ON, the light will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn. The integrated light sensor detects ambient light levels.

6.2 Remote Control Functions

Use the provided remote control to manage the light's settings:

• ON/OFF: Manually turn the light on or off.
• 'M' (Mode): Cycles through different lighting modes (e.g., constant light, motion sensor mode). Refer to the remote's specific markings for detailed mode descriptions.
• '+' / '-': Adjusts brightness levels.
• 'AUTO': Activates the intelligent motion sensor mode. The light will typically stay at a low brightness and switch to full brightness upon detecting motion.
• '3H', '5H', '8H': Sets the duration for which the light remains on at a constant brightness after activation, overriding the dusk-to-dawn sensor for a set period.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar street light.

• Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption.
• Check Connections: Annually inspect all mounting bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Battery Care: The Lithium Polymer batteries are integrated and generally maintenance-free. Ensure the light receives adequate sunlight for charging, especially during winter months or periods of low sunlight.
• Environmental Considerations: While designed for outdoor use, extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow accumulation, prolonged sub-zero temperatures) may temporarily affect performance.
