HOW SOLAR LIGHT WORKS
Solar light must be placed outdoors. The solar panel collects and converts sunlight
into DC power while the pre-installed rechargeable batteries store the energy to
power the light at night.
Solar light illumination time
It depends on the seasonal sunlight availability in your geographical area under
certain weather conditions. Stronger or longer sunlight hours enable batteries to
store more energy which provides more lighting hours. On the contrary, weaker or
shorter sunlight hours reduce the lighting hours and its brightness as well.
Solar panel mounting locations
Solar panel must be placed outdoor at a location with its solar panel receiving direct
sunlight at least five hours each day. Shadowed locations will not allow batteries to
be fully charged and will reduce both the brightness of the light and the lighting
hours. Precautions (prior to first time use)
1. To maximize battery capacity, the solar panel should be fully charged by
direct sunlight for five hours before initial use.
2. Under extremely cold temperatures, the batteries may not charge fully. In
such cases, the Solar Lights may not stay illuminated as long.
MOUNTING SOLAR PANEL
This solar panel includes a permanent mounting system that allows for mounting to
square/round poles or flat surfaces such as a wall or post shown in figure 1.
Position the solar panel in a location that receives the maximum amount of sunlight
throughout the day. This may need adjusted depending on the season. With pole
mounting, loosen the adjustment bolts to fit solar panel onto pole. Once mounted,
tighten bolts snug to secure panel to pole. For surface mounting, remove additional
plate and use the existing mounting holes to mount directly to surface.
