SOLAR WALL LIGHT
With its solar/battery based power supply, the wall lamp will ensure the illumination of sidewalks, garden paths, car entrances and entrance doors during the night automatically and without added electricity costs. Charged by the built-in solar cell during the day, the battery supplies 2 warm white SMD LEDs during the night. The lifetime of the light emitter is app. 100,000 operating hours and it is maintenance-free. At the end of its lifecycle, the built-in battery can be replaced.
COMMISSIONING
Unscrew the back cover and remove the yellow tab from the battery compartment. Now the unit is ready for operation!If you do not use the device for a long time (e.g., in wintertime), remove the battery, carefully clean the housing and store it above freezing point. Use the screws and dowels to mount the luminaire on a wall with a suitable load-bearing capacity. The light will then operate automatically: the battery will be charged during the day, and the light will turn on when it is getting dark, and continue to illuminate. Lighting time depends on the duration and intensity of the light previously reaching the appliance. Its functioning can be checked before installation by covering the entire upper part of the solar cell. Note that the light is designed to operate when it is dark. When it is bright, it glows dimly or not at all.
ORIENTATION
To ensure that the battery is charged as much as possible and will provide the voltage needed to power the LED for a long time during the night, you are advised to install the appliance in a place fully exposed to the sunlight. The longer it is exposed to intensive, direct sunlight, the longer it will illuminate. This can be up to 8 hours even after a bright sunny day - even if not fully charged.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If the duration of the lighting significantly decreases during use with
similar daylight conditions, you will need to replace the battery. The
recommended type is an AA Ni-MH battery of 900-1100 mAh. Unscrew the back
cover of the device, then press outwards from the bottom to pop the top off.
Remove the battery compartment cover on the underside of the top of the
device. Replace the battery in the battery compartment with a new one,
observing the correct polarity (place the negative pole to the spring pin).
Replace the battery compartment cover, snap the top of the device back on,
then screw the back cover back on.
Note: To increase the lifetime of the battery, if possible, discharge and
recharge it once in every month using an external battery charger three times
in a row. Do this when you remove the appliance for the winter, and before
installing a new battery.
WARNINGS
- Inserting a battery with a capacity exceeding the specifications will not result in longer operating time!
- At temperatures around freezing, a cooled battery will not supply enough voltage for proper operation.
- It is recommended to dismantle, clean and store the appliance in a frost-free location before winter sets in.
- Clean the housing, with particular regard to the solar panel regularly, taking care not to scratch these by using aggressive detergents.
- Do not exert excessive force when assembling and installing the luminaire.
- Battery replacement must be performed by an adult!
- Make sure to insert the battery observing the correct polarity.
- If the product is not used for a longer period, remove the battery.
- If any fluids have leaked from the batteries, clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth wearing protective gloves.
- Caution! The use of an incorrect battery may cause danger of explosion. Only use equivalent, or interchangeable batteries for replacement.
- Do not expose the battery to direct heat or sunlight. Never open, place into fire or short circuit the batteries.
- Never charge non-rechargeable batteries. Explosion hazard!
- Do not use a single-use battery instead of the rechargeable one, as its voltage and efficiency are different.
- Do not weld or solder anything directly to the batteries!
- Store unused batteries in their original packaging and away from metal objects.
- Do not mix together the already unpackaged batteries.
The product is not a toy. Keep out of reach of children.
DISPOSAL
Waste equipment must be collected and disposed separately from household waste
because it may contain components hazardous to the environment or health. Used
or waste equipment may be dropped off free of charge at the point of sale, or
at any distributor which sells equipment of identical nature and function.
Dispose of product at a facility specializing in the collection of electronic
waste. By doing so, you will protect the environment as well as the health of
others and yourself. If you have any questions, contact the local waste
management organization. We shall undertake the tasks pertinent to the
manufacturer as prescribed in the relevant regulations and shall bear any
associated costs arising.
DISPOSING OFALKALINEAND RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Batteries, whether alkaline or rechargeable, must not be handled together with
regular household waste. It is the legal obligation of the product’s user to
dispose of batteries at a nearby collection center or at a retail shop. This
ensures that the batteries are ultimately neutralized in an environment-
friendly way.
