MAXIMIZING SOLAR LIGHT POST PERFORMANCE
Charging: Charge in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours.
Location: Choose location with minimum 6-8 hours sunlight. When choosing
a spot for your solar light, ensure that the device is not placed near
nighttime light sources such as porch lighting, landscape lighting or street
lighting.
Dusk To Dawn: The light will not activate during daylight hours. At
sundown the light will go on automatically and last approximately 6-8 hours
Cleaning solar panels: It is important that dirt and debris is kept off
of the solar panel to the greatest extent possible. A dirty solar panel will
not fully charge the battery and thus shorten the battery life.
Battery replacement: Generally speaking, the rechargeable battery should
be replaced every two years in order to maintain the maximum capacity. Please
refer to the specs for max charge cycles.
Note: Run times and lighting performance will vary depending upon
sunlight and weather conditions.
