Light Sensor: Automatically activates lamp at dusk (ambient light < 10 lux) and deactivates at dawn.

Charging & Power Management

Solar charging via integrated panel; optimal positioning required.

Ensure solar panel faces south (northern hemisphere) for maximum exposure.
Clean panel weekly with soft, damp cloth to maintain efficiency.
In winter or cloudy days, charging time may extend to 10-12 hours.
If not used for extended periods, switch OFF and store in cool, dry place.

Tip: For best results, avoid shading from trees or buildings during peak sun hours.

Lighting Modes

Three operational modes for different lighting needs.

High Mode: Maximum brightness (800 lumens), ideal for security lighting.
Low Mode: Reduced brightness (400 lumens), extended runtime, suitable for ambient lighting.
Sensor Mode: Auto on at dusk, off at dawn; brightness adjusts based on motion detection (if equipped).
Manual Override: Use Power Switch to force ON or OFF regardless of mode or sensor.

WARNING! Do not stare directly at LED light source to avoid eye discomfort.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures longevity and performance.

Weekly: Clean solar panel with soft cloth and mild detergent if dirty.

Monthly: Check mounting hardware for tightness; inspect housing for cracks or damage.

Seasonal: In snowy areas, clear snow from panel; consider temporary storage during extreme weather.

Battery: Replace battery every 2-3 years (model-specific 18650 lithium-ion).
