Installation Tips
- Make sure you select the best area where the solar panel of your light will receive the most direct sunlight during the day
- We recommend you put your solar panel in the sun for 2 days before installation
IMPORTANT NOTES
- Please ensure you place your solar panel in a location where it can achieve a minimum of 6HRS DIRECT SUNIGHT
- Be aware that on overcast/cloudy days, the solar panel will still charge. However, not as efficient as on a sunny day, so the battery may not reach full capacity. Therefore turning it off earlier than specified
- It’s best not to install these lights underneath a street light, porch light, etc. because this may stop the automatic day-night sensor triggering and result in your lights not turning on
