Safety Instruction
WARNINGS
- If a fitting is found to be damaged, cease use immediately.
- The unit may get warm whilst on for a period of time.
- Always take care when installing your solar light.
- Fitting must be mounted to a solid surface or using relevant anchor bolts / J-Bolts
- This Solar Light will not charge correctly if the panel is behind glass or artificial light is used.
- Ensure the waterproof bung is in place at all times, other than when turning the unit on.
- Due to temperature difference in and outside the fitting, condensation may be present internally but will not affect use.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Occasional cleaning and care is recommended for this product.
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any surface dirt.
To maintain efficiency, specifically clean the solar panel and polycarbonate
lens on a regular basis.
Also, keep the solar panel free of debris and snow to prevent reduced battery
life or malfunction.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or a lot of water as this could damage the
fitting.
Please refer to our website for more information on the best way to clean
different materials.
OLYMPIA TECHNOLOGY:
The Olympia is a highly efficient solar light with high capacity LiFePO4
Lithium batteries and a fast charging Monocrystalline solar panel.
This means that even on cloudy and rainy days, it will re-charge efficiently.
The high battery capacity gives enough power for up to 23 hrs solid light
(approx. 2-3 nights) even when there is little light during the day.
The high lumen light output is bright enough to illuminate driveways and
paths, making them safe to navigate at night, with a downward spread light
projection.
INSTALLATION
Designed to be mounted on a low wall, wood, patio or set in concrete (J-Bolts
sold separately) via the external surface mount.
Recommended spacing is 3m apart for substantial lighting.
Closer spacing/staggering will result in a more intense light.
Locations
It is important that the installation location is carefully considered,
avoiding shady areas.
Ensure there is no other lights which could interfere with the light,
imitating daylight and forcing the light off.
- Use the base to mark the mounting holes on the mounting surface in the desired location.
- Remove the light and drill out the 3 holes marked at the relevant depth and diameter for the mounting screws/wall plugs being used (varies based on mounting surface) – Anchor bolts recommended.
- Replace the pedestal light, lining up the 3 x holes at the base and secure in place with the chosen screws/bolts – large washers may be required.
Do NOT overtighten.
NOTE: MAX SCREW DIAMETER = 12MM – ensure long enough to clear 20mm depth of base.
IMPORTANT:
Spacers may be beneficial between the surface and underside of the mounting
base (20mm), depending on which type of fixing bolts are used.
This will prevent overtightening of screws and potential strain/damage to the
base.
TIP:
If hexagonal coach bolts are used, use black dome covers to conceal the head
of the bolt.
SETTINGS
The Olympia has a pre-set time controlled setting which cannot be changed. At
dusk, the bollard will illuminate at full brightness, and then follow a
gradual dimming sequence until it reaches 30% brightness after 5 hours.
From then on it will remain at 30% until dawn.
This sequence is to ensure the maximum charge is retained.
IMPORTANT – SOLAR PEDESTAL LIGHT MUST BE TURNED ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER
INSTALLATION
If the pedestal light is left in the off position, you may be prompted to turn
the fitting on by strobing. Solar pedestal will only charge when in the ON
position.
Turning on the pedestal light
- Remove the waterproof rubber bung located just below the polycarbonate lens, in line with the Lumena Logo, to locate the red on/off button.
- Using a small, flathead screwdriver (or similar), push the on button inwards until it clicks and allow to pop back out (this will be partial). The pedestal is now in the ON position.
- Replace the waterproof, rubber bung.
- To turn off for storage, repeat the same procedure as above.
NOTE: There will be a 2-5 second delay between turning the solar light
on, and the pedestal illuminating.
In daylight, the light will turn back off within a few seconds, in darkness it
will remain on and follow the time-controlled cycle.
STORAGE
When storing the pedesatl, be sure to turn the bollard to the off position by
following the above steps (check by covering and uncovering the solar panel).
Once pressed, the on/off button will release fully forward.
Maximum 6 months storage when fully charged – recharge will be required
periodically to prevent damage to battery over long periods of time.
