Ensure the solar panel is facing upwards and unobstructed to maximize sunlight exposure.
4. Operating Instructions
The WL04 solar light features an intelligent mode with a high-sensitivity motion sensor for automatic operation.
Functionality:
- Automatic On/Off: The light automatically turns on at maximum brightness when motion is detected within its 160° detection range and 0-5 meter detection distance.
- Auto-Off Delay: After approximately 30 seconds of no motion, the light will gradually dim and turn off.
- Solar Charging: During the day, the high-efficiency solar panel (up to 20% conversion rate) absorbs sunlight to charge the built-in 1200mAh battery. Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position for charging.
A full charge, typically requiring 8 hours of direct sunlight, allows for extended illumination throughout the night.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solar light, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient sunlight absorption and charging.
- Check Mounting: Periodically inspect the mounting to ensure the light remains securely attached to the wall.
- Avoid Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing branches, new structures) block direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
6. Troubleshooting
If your solar light is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient charging during the day. | Ensure the solar panel is in a location that receives at least 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light flickers or has low brightness. | Partial charge or dirty solar panel. | Allow the light to charge for a full day in direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. |
| Motion sensor is not detecting. | Sensor obstructed or placed too high/low. | Ensure the sensor is clear of obstructions. Adjust the mounting height to optimize detection range (0-5m). |
