MAXIMIZING SOLAR LIGHT POST PERFORMANCE
Charging: Charge in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours.
Location: Choose a location with a minimum of 6-8 hours of 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 are 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 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.
