- This Solar Light will not charge correctly if the panel is behind glass or artificial light is used.
- Ensure the waterproof bung is in place at all times, other than when turning the unit on.
- Due to temperature differences in and outside the fitting, condensation may be present internally but will not affect use.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Occasional cleaning and care are recommended for this product. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. To maintain efficiency, specifically, clean the solar panel and polycarbonate lens regularly. Also, keep the solar panel free of debris and snow to prevent reduced battery life or malfunction. Do not use abrasive cleaners or a lot of water as this could damage the fitting. Please refer to our website for more information on the best way to clean different materials.

LITECHARGA TECHNOLOGY
The Litecharga is a highly efficient solar light with high-capacity LiFePO4
Lithium batteries and a fast charging Monocrystalline solar panel. This means
that even on partially cloudy and rainy days, it will recharge efficiently.
The high battery capacity gives enough power for up to 23 hrs solid light
(approx. 2-3 nights) even when there is little light during the day. The high-
lumen light output is bright enough to illuminate driveways and paths, making
them safe to navigate at night.
INSTALLATION
The Litecharga is designed to be mounted on a low wall, patio, wood or set in
concrete (J-Bolts – sold separately) via the internal surface mount.
Recommended spacing is 3m apart for substantial path lighting. Closer spacing
/ staggering will result in a more intense light.
Location – The installation location must be carefully considered, avoiding
shady areas. Ensure there are no other lights that could interfere with the
light, imitating daylight and forcing the light off.
- To surface mount, remove the internal base from the bollard by unscrewing the 3 x cross-head screws at the bottom of the bollard tube, then lift off.
- Use the base to mark the mounting holes on the mounting surface.
- Remove the mounting plate and drill out the 3 holes marked at the relevant depth and diameter for the mounting screws/wall plugs being used (varies based on the mounting surface) – Anchor bolts are recommended.
- Secure the mounting base in place – large washers may be required.
- Replace the bollard body, lining up the 3 x holes at the base.
- Replace the 3 cross head screws removed in point one to secure in place.
- For root mounting, use J-Bolts, set in concrete instead of anchor bolts (sold separately).
SETTINGS
The Litecharga has a pre-set time controlled setting which cannot be changed. At dusk, the bollard will illuminate at full brightness, and then follow a gradual dimming sequence until it reaches 30% brightness after 5 hours. From then on it will remain at 30% until dawn. This sequence is to ensure the maximum charge is retained.
IMPORTANT
SOLAR BOLLARD MUST BE TURNED ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER INSTALLATION If the
bollard is left in the off position, you may be prompted to turn the fitting
on by strobing. Solar bollards will only charge when in the ON position.
Turning on the bollard
- Remove the waterproof rubber bung located just below the polycarbonate lens, in line with the Lumena Logo, to locate the red on/off button.
- using a small, flathead screwdriver (or similar), push the on button inwards until it clicks and allows it to pop back out (this will be partial). The bollard is now in the ON position.
- Replace the waterproof, rubber bung.
NOTE: There will be a 2-5 second delay between turning the solar light on, and the bollard illuminating. In daylight, the light will turn back off within a few seconds, in darkness it will remain on and follow the time- controlled cycle.
STORAGE
When storing the bollard, be sure to turn the bollard to the off position by following the above steps (check by covering and uncovering the solar panel). Once pressed, the on/off button will release fully forward. Maximum 6 months of storage when fully charged – recharge will be required periodically to prevent damage to the battery over long periods.
