Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation and use. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Ensure the solar panel receives direct sunlight for optimal charging. Avoid shaded areas.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the product. This may cause damage and void the warranty.
• Keep the product away from fire and extreme heat sources.
• Do not immerse the product in water, despite its waterproof rating. It is designed to withstand rain and splashes, not submersion.
• Install the light at a height where the motion sensor can effectively detect movement (typically 6-10 feet from the ground).

Product Overview

The TECKNET Solar Light features a robust design with key components for optimal performance.

• Solar Panel: Converts sunlight into electricity to charge the internal battery.
• 416 High-Efficiency LEDs: Provide bright and wide illumination.
• PIR Motion Sensor: Detects movement to activate lighting modes.
• Light Sensor: Detects ambient light levels to automatically turn the light on/off.
• Durable ABS Casing: Ensures IP66 waterproof and weather-resistant performance.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation ensures optimal performance of your solar lights.

Initial Charge:

Before first use, expose the solar panel to 6+ hours of direct sunlight for ample absorption. This ensures the internal 1800mAh rechargeable battery is sufficiently charged.

Choosing a Location:

• Select a location that receives direct sunlight for most of the day to maximize charging efficiency.
• Ensure the chosen spot allows the motion sensor to cover the desired area (13 to 20 feet detection range, 120° wide-angle coverage).
• Avoid installing near other strong light sources at night, as this may prevent the solar light from activating.

Mounting Options:

The TECKNET Solar Lights offer flexible installation methods:

1. Screw Mounting: Use the included screws to securely fasten the light to a wall, fence, or other solid surface.
2. Double-sided Adhesive: For lighter applications or temporary placement, use strong double-sided tape (not always included, check packaging).
3. Rope Hanging: Utilize the designated holes to hang the light with a rope or cable.

Operating Modes

The TECKNET Solar Light features three intelligent lighting modes to suit various needs. Use the mode button (if available, typically a small pinhole button) to cycle through the modes.

Image: Visual representation of the three intelligent lighting modes: Always On Mode (50% light), Dim Light Sensor Mode (30% light, 100% on motion), and Strong Light Sensor Mode (0% light, 100% on motion).

1. Mode 1: Always On Mode

   The light automatically turns on at night at a consistent brightness (e.g., 50% light) and stays on until dawn or battery depletion. No motion detection in this mode.

2. Mode 2: Dim-to-Bright Mode

   The light stays at a dim brightness (e.g., 30% light) at night. When motion is detected, it brightens to full (100%) for 15-25 seconds, then returns to dim mode.

3. Mode 3: Off-to-Bright Mode

   The light remains off at night. When motion is detected, it activates to full brightness (100%) for 15-25 seconds, then turns off again.

Charging and Battery Life

The TECKNET Solar Lights are designed for energy efficiency and long-lasting performance.

• High Conversion Rate: The solar panel boasts an impressive 27% conversion rate, ensuring efficient charging even on less sunny days.
• Charging Time: Typically requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight for a full charge.
• Lighting Duration: A fully charged light can provide 10-12 hours of consistent, bright illumination each night, depending on the selected mode and motion frequency.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TECKNET Solar Lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption.
• Clear Obstructions: Periodically check that no leaves, branches, or other objects are shading the solar panel or obstructing the motion sensor.
• Inspect for Damage: Occasionally inspect the light for any physical damage to the casing or components.
• Weather Resistance: The IP66 waterproof rating means it can withstand rain, snow, and frost. No special winterization is typically required, but clearing heavy snow from the panel is recommended.
