4. Operating Instructions
The Solar Clip Light offers three adjustable lighting modes to suit various needs. A button on the device allows you to cycle through these modes.
Lighting Modes:
- Mode 1: Motion-Triggered Brighter Light
The light remains off until motion is detected, then illuminates at full brightness for a set duration. - Mode 2: Motion-Triggered Brighter Light with Low Background Glow
The light maintains a low-level glow. When motion is detected, it switches to full brightness for a set duration, then returns to the low glow. - Mode 3: Constant Steady Light
The light stays on at a constant brightness throughout the night, without motion detection.
To select a mode, press the mode button located on the light. Each press will cycle to the next mode. The light will indicate the selected mode.
