Operation Switch
Place the lamp in one of the two operating settings:
On: The lamp will constantly be on at 500 Lumens for the first four hours.
After that, it will be reduced to 100 Lumens and increase to 500 Lumens when
motion is detected for one minute.
PIR: The lamp will remain off until motion is detected after Dusk. When motion
is detected, it will shine at 1,440 Lumens for one minute.
Timer Switch
The timer switch works for both operation settings and controls the overall
length of time the lamp will function.
Using a small flathead screwdriver, turn the arrow to the following settings:
0 = Dusk to Dawn operation
4,5,6,7,8 = The number of hours the lamp will operate from Dusk.
Note: When using the lamp in the “On” setting, the lamp will still be
bright for the first four hours and will cease operating after the total hours
on the Timer Switch have elapsed.
For example: when the timer is set to 6, the lamp will dim to 100 Lumens for
two hours.
LED Indicators
This lamp had 5 LED indicators on the underside of the product. When looking
at the product, the cluster of 3 red LEDs indicates the level of charge the
battery has. The two blue LEDs indicate if the battery is receiving a charge
in the daytime and when the lamp is functioning at night. 
Note: The indicator that the lamp is functioning at night will illuminate even when the lamp does not sense motion. This indicator is to let you know it will turn on when motion is detected.

Solar Lamp Location
For optimum light duration throughout the night, it is very important to mount
your solar lamp in a spot where it will receive the maximum amount of direct
sunlight throughout the day.
Post Mount:
Assemble hardware to fixture housing as shown in the image (make sure the
curved side of the mount faces in). Slide the fixture over the light post so
the curved side of the mount hugs the light pole. Adjust the light to the
desired height and position. Then tighten the four bolts. 
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS
Advice: Ideal Pole Height: 8 – 15 feet; Ideal Pole Diameter: 3 inches.
If multiple lights are purchased install them between 30-50 feet apart for
optimal light spread.
Surface Mount:
Make sure the alignment of your mounting location is level and even for your
solar light installation. Drill four holes into your desired installation
surface using the lamp as a template and place anchors into the holes.
Position the four provided screws through the holes of the lamp and into the
anchors. Tighten the screws to secure the lamp to the surface.

Note: There are specific types of screws for different surfaces. If you’re unsure of the appropriate type of screw to use on your desired surface, please consult a professional.
**** Replacing the Batteries
After several years of use, the battery may need replacing.
- Remove the lamp from where it is mounted and turn it upside down.
- Remove all 12 screws from the underside of the security light and remove the solar panel.
- Remove the battery bracket by unscrewing the two screws holding it in place.
- Unclip the battery connector and remove the old battery. Make sure the new battery is a high quality – 1x Li-Ion Battery pack (3.7V/16Ah, Item# GS37V16A) with a matching connector.
- Install the new battery into the battery compartment.
- Re-assemble by reversing Steps 1-3.
Maintenance
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be careful not to
put too much pressure on the solar panels while cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If your solar-charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of all the instructions, please try the following steps:
- Make sure that the solar light is not being affected by any other light source (i.e street lights).
- Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the day.
- Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year.
It will last longer when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will charge the batteries much more efficiently.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children. Do not dispose of the Li-
Ion battery in the regular trash, municipal waste stream or by fire as
batteries may leak or explode. Do not open, short circuit, or mutilate
batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our environment by recycling Li-Ion
batteries or disposing of them in accordance with local, State and federal
regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Please keep out of reach of children.
