5. Setup
5.1. Initial Preparation
- Remove Isolator Tab: Before first use, locate and pull out the clear plastic isolator tab from the battery compartment. This activates the battery.
- Initial Charge: Place the solar lights in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours to ensure a full initial charge.
5.2. Choosing an Installation Location
Select a location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day to maximize charging efficiency. Avoid shaded areas.

5.3. Installation Methods
The AUDERWIN Solar Deck Lights offer two convenient installation options:
This diagram visually explains both the adhesive and screw-based installation methods, making it easy to choose the best option for your surface.
- Method 1: Adhesive Tape (for smooth, clean surfaces)
- Clean the surface thoroughly where the light will be installed. Ensure it is dry and free of dust or grease.
- Peel off the protective backing from the 3M adhesive tape.
- Firmly press the light onto the desired surface for at least 30 seconds.
- Method 2: Screws (for wood, fences, or more permanent installation)
- Mark the desired installation points for the screws.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, especially for harder wood surfaces.
- Align the light with the holes and secure it using the provided screws. For masonry or concrete, use the included wall plugs.
This image showcases the versatility of the lights, demonstrating their aesthetic and functional benefits when installed on walls, decks, fences, and steps.
6. Operating Instructions
- Once installed and the isolator tab is removed, the lights will operate automatically.
- The built-in light sensor detects ambient light levels. When it gets dark (dusk), the lights will automatically turn on.
- When daylight returns (dawn), the lights will automatically turn off and begin recharging.
- No manual switching is required for daily operation.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures optimal charging efficiency.
- Inspection: Regularly check the lights for any physical damage or loose connections.
- Winter Care: While designed to be weatherproof, heavy snow accumulation on the solar panel may reduce charging. Clear snow as needed.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Isolator tab not removed. Insufficient sunlight. Solar panel is dirty. | Remove the isolator tab. Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short time. | Insufficient charging due to cloudy weather or shade. Battery not fully charged. | Ensure the light receives 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Allow several days for the battery to fully charge, especially after initial setup or prolonged cloudy periods. |
| Light turns on during the day. | Light sensor is obstructed or faulty. | Ensure nothing is covering the solar panel/light sensor. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
