Installation Guide

Step 1: Solar Panel Placement

Mount the solar panel in a location that maximizes its exposure to sunlight. Consider potential obstructions like trees or building overhangs that might impede the panel's ability to charge.

Step 2: Mount Solar Panel

Optional: Use a power drill (not included) to create mounting holes on your chosen surface. Secure the solar panel to the surface using 4 of the included wall plugs and screws.

Step 3: Detach Mounting Bracket

Remove the mounting bracket from the solar motion light by unscrewing the side bolts.

Step 4: Mount Bracket to Surface

Optional: Use a power drill (not included) to create mounting holes on your chosen surface. Attach the mounting bracket to the surface using the remaining 2 wall plugs and screws.

Step 5: Attach Light to Bracket

Reattach the motion light to the installed mounting bracket and tighten the side bolts, referring to the illustration in Step 3.

Step 6: Connect Solar Panel Wire

Connect the wire from the solar panel into the socket located under the light fixture. The solar motion light will now begin to charge.

Step 7: Initial Charge and Operation Modes

Before initial use, connect the solar panel to the light and keep the switch in the OFF position for three days to allow the batteries to fully charge. After the initial charge, place the switch in the AUTO position for motion-activated lighting. The ON position overrides motion detection, providing a limited period of continuous illumination.

Step 8: Adjusting Controls

Two control switches adjust the light's illumination time and motion detection range:

TIME: Determines the duration of the light after motion is detected. Options are 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 120 seconds.
TEST: Allows testing the motion sensor's positioning day or night. Move within the intended detection zone. If the light illuminates, the sensor is correctly positioned. After testing, set the switch to the desired duration option. The light will activate only in darkness.

DISTANCE: Controls the range of motion detection: Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H).

Step 9: Battery Installation/Replacement

Batteries are located in the housing behind the light fixture. Set the switch to the OFF position before opening the battery housing. Remove the four screws to access the batteries. When replacing batteries, observe correct polarity (➕ and ➖) and match the specifications of the batteries being replaced. Use only rechargeable batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Where should the solar panel be mounted?: Mount your solar panel in a position that allows for the most light absorption (refer to Step 1). In the Northern Hemisphere, this is typically facing south.
Q2: Does the solar panel require direct sun to charge?: The solar panel can charge internal batteries with both direct and indirect light. For best results, optimize the panel's sun exposure.
Q3: Can additional or extended cable wire for the solar panel be purchased?: At this time, there are no extensions available for the cable connecting the light to the solar panel. Any cable additions will void the warranty.
Q4: Why does the solar motion light appear to "strobe" or flash?: A rapidly flashing light is usually caused by undercharged batteries. Turn the light to the "OFF" position and charge it for two full sunny days to bring the batteries to full charge.
Q5: Will decorative or street lights have an effect on the motion sensor's ability to operate?: Yes, the motion sensor is light-sensitive. For nighttime usage, ensure no other external lights activate the motion sensor.
Q6: What type of battery does my solar motion light require to operate?: Your solar motion light requires 3 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
