Installation Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully before use.

Wall/Surface Mounting:

1. Remove the Mounting Plate (4) from the floodlight unit by sliding it out.
2. Choose a location with maximum sun exposure during the day.
3. Drill holes on the chosen surface matching the pattern on the Mounting Plate. Install plastic anchors (included) if necessary.
4. Attach the Mounting Plate securely using two screws (included).
5. Align the arm of the floodlight unit with the opening on the Mounting Plate and slide it in until fully inserted.

In-Ground Installation:

1. Ensure the Mounting Plate (4) is attached to the swivel arm of the unit.
2. Insert the Ground Spike (8) into the Stake (9).
3. Prepare the soil by softening it where you intend to install the unit.
4. Insert the Stake (with the attached ground spike) into the ground.
5. Rotate the swivel arm so the mounting plate is positioned appropriately.
6. Place the floodlight unit over the Stake.

Important Installation Notes:

• Avoid areas under trees or bushes, as this can prevent adequate solar charging.
• Do not install the floodlight near existing outdoor lights, as the built-in sensor may prevent it from activating.
• During fall and winter, shorter daylight hours may affect battery charging and performance.

Adjusting Angles

• Solar Panel Angle: Use the 2-point swivel arm (2) to adjust the angle of the solar panel for optimal sun exposure.
• Light Direction: Use the Main Swivel Arm (3) to direct the light where it is needed.
• Side Panel Angles: Move each of the two side LED light panels independently to select the best angle for illumination.

Product Usage

The Bionic Floodlight Elite will automatically turn off during the day or if the unit's battery runs out.

1. Initial Charging: Leave the unit under direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours to fully charge the battery before initial use. If sunlight is insufficient, charging may take longer.
2. Motion Sensor Mode: Press the Power Button (7) once. The light will briefly turn on (1-2 seconds) and then turn off. The unit enters Motion Sensor Mode. The floodlight will automatically turn on at high brightness for 30 seconds when motion is detected. It will turn off if no motion is detected within that period.
3. Eco Night Mode: Press the Power Button (7) again. The light will enter Eco Night Mode. The floodlight will stay on at low brightness throughout the night and automatically turn off during the daytime.
4. Turning Off: Press the Power Button (7) again to turn the unit OFF.
