2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your solar RV porch lights:
- Choose a Location: Select a location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily to ensure optimal charging of the solar panel. The light should be mounted at a height where the motion sensor can effectively detect movement.
- Mark Drill Points: Use the light fixture as a template to mark three drill points on the mounting surface.
- Drill Holes: Drill three holes at the marked points using an appropriate drill bit.
- Insert Anchors: Insert the provided plastic anchors into the drilled holes.
- Mount the Light: Align the light with the anchors and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the light is firmly attached to the surface.

3. Operating Instructions
The COXSENI Solar RV Porch Lights feature a PIR motion sensor and three selectable lighting modes. The light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn.
3.1 Mode Selection
Press the control button on the light to cycle through the following modes:
- Mode 1: Motion Sensor + Dim Light Mode
The light stays at a dim brightness (approximately 40 lumens) when no motion is detected. Upon detecting motion, it brightens to 450 lumens for 37 seconds, then returns to dim light if no further motion is detected. - Mode 2: Motion Sensor Mode
The light remains off when no motion is detected. Upon detecting motion, it illuminates at 600 lumens for 37 seconds, then turns off if no further motion is detected. - Mode 3: Always On Mode
The light stays on continuously at a constant brightness (approximately 80 lumens) after activation. This mode is suitable for consistent ambient lighting.

3.2 Motion Sensor Functionality
The integrated PIR motion sensor detects movement up to 16.4 feet (5 meters) away within a 120° sensing angle. This ensures that the light activates promptly when needed, enhancing safety and convenience.

4. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your solar RV porch lights, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Battery Care: The lights are equipped with a 2200mAh lithium battery. While designed for durability, consistent exposure to direct sunlight is crucial for maintaining battery health and charge capacity.
- Environmental Protection: The IP65 waterproof rating protects the lights from rain, snow, and splashes. However, avoid submerging the unit in water.
