Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your OKELI Solar Wall Lantern:
- Choose a Location: Select a mounting location for the lantern that provides desired illumination. For the solar panel, choose a spot that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The 16.4ft cable allows flexibility in placing the solar panel away from the light fixture itself.
- Mount the Lantern: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the lantern fixture to your desired wall surface.
- Install the E26 Bulb: Carefully screw the included E26 LED bulb into the socket at the bottom of the lantern. The bottom-open design allows for easy access.
- Mount the Solar Panel: Attach the detachable solar panel to a surface where it can receive maximum direct sunlight. Adjust its angle for optimal exposure.
- Connect the Cable: Connect the 16.4ft cable from the solar panel to the lantern fixture. Ensure a secure connection.
- Initial Charge: Allow the solar panel to charge the battery for at least 6-8 hours in direct sunlight before first use.

Operating Instructions
The OKELI Solar Wall Lantern features 3 smart sensor modes. To switch between modes, locate the control button on the fixture and press it for 2 seconds.
Mode 1: Dusk to Dawn Sensor (No Motion Lighting)
In this mode, the light will automatically turn on at a dim level at night and turn off during the day. It does not react to motion. This mode is ideal for continuous ambient lighting.
Mode 2: No Light Sensor Mode (Motion Activated)
The light remains off when no motion is detected. When motion is sensed within the 10-20ft range and 180° angle, the light will illuminate at 100% brightness. This mode is energy-saving and suitable for areas where light is only needed upon approach.
Mode 3: Dim Light Sensor Mode (Dim + Motion Activated)
The light stays on at a dim level at night. Upon detecting motion within its range, it will switch to 100% brightness. After motion ceases, it returns to the dim state. This mode provides both ambient lighting and enhanced brightness when needed.
This diagram visually explains the three operational modes of the solar wall lantern, including dusk-to-dawn, motion-activated, and dim-to-bright motion-activated settings.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel and light fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging.
- Battery Replacement: The 3.7V/2200mAh battery is designed to be replaceable. If the light's performance diminishes significantly over time, consider replacing the battery with a compatible type. Refer to the product specifications for battery details.
- Bulb Replacement: The E26 LED bulb can be replaced by unscrewing it from the bottom-open fixture. Ensure the replacement bulb is an E26 LED type.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar panel charge. | Ensure the solar panel is placed in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily. Clean the solar panel surface. |
| Light is dim or flickers. | Low battery charge or aging battery. | Allow for a full day's charge. If problem persists, consider replacing the battery. |
| Motion sensor not working. | Incorrect mode selected or sensor obstruction. | Verify the light is in Mode 2 or Mode 3. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the sensor. Test sensor range. |
| Light stays on during the day. | Solar panel is not detecting sufficient ambient light (e.g., in a shaded area). | Relocate the solar panel to an area with more direct sunlight. Ensure no external light sources are interfering with the sensor. |
