4. Setup

4.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the light. While the light is solar-powered, an initial charge via the included USB-C cable ensures optimal performance from the start. Connect the USB-C cable to the designated port on the light and to a suitable power source.

4.2 Placement

For optimal solar charging, place the light in an area that receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. Avoid shaded areas or locations where artificial light sources might interfere with the daylight sensor.

4.3 Mounting (Optional)

The light can be placed freestanding or secured using the provided mounting screws and wall plugs. If mounting, ensure the surface is stable and capable of supporting the light's weight. Refer to the diagrams on the product packaging for typical mounting configurations.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

The light typically activates automatically at dusk and deactivates at dawn due to its integrated daylight sensor. A manual power button may be present for direct control; consult the device for its location.

5.2 Smart Control via Bluetooth App

To unlock the full features of your SMART+ ALPS Solar Path Light, download the OSRAM SMART+ app. The app is compatible with mobile phones or tablets running a minimum of Android 8.0 or iOS 14.0.

5.3 Motion and Daylight Sensor

The integrated motion and daylight sensors enable demand-oriented lighting and energy saving. The light will automatically turn on when motion is detected in low-light conditions and turn off when sufficient ambient light is present or after a set period of no motion. Sensor sensitivity and duration settings may be adjustable via the SMART+ app.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the solar panel and the light's surface with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal charging efficiency and light output. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.

6.2 Battery Charging

While primarily solar-powered, the light can be recharged via the USB-C cable, especially during prolonged periods of low sunlight or if the battery level is low. A full charge provides approximately 2.5 hours of burn time at 100% light output. Monitor battery status through the SMART+ app.

7. Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on:
  • Ensure the light is placed in an area receiving sufficient direct sunlight for charging.
  • Check the battery level via the SMART+ app and recharge using the USB-C cable if necessary.
  • Verify that the daylight sensor is not being interfered with by artificial light sources at night.
• Light does not respond to app control:
  • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
  • Confirm that your mobile device meets the minimum OS requirements (Android 8.0 or iOS 14.0).
  • Try restarting the app and re-pairing the device if connection issues persist.
  • Ensure the light is within Bluetooth range of your device.
• Short burn time:
  • The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight for a full charge. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot.
  • The battery may be aging. While rechargeable, battery capacity can decrease over time.
  • High brightness settings or continuous color changes consume more power, reducing burn time.
• Inconsistent sensor detection:
  • Ensure the sensor lens is clean and free from obstructions.
  • Adjust sensor sensitivity settings within the SMART+ app if available.
