Models with Dual Colour Technology
In order to change the colour of the LED output from Warm White/Cool White:
- Repeat Step 2 above
- Locate and remove rubber grommet towards the top of the bollard (See in FIGURE 1)(location varies on each bollard).
- Use an appropriate size tool (i.e. screwdriver) and gently insert it into the space and find the red press button.
- Pushing this button momentarily will allow you to alternate between warm white and cool white.
- Once you have set your chosen colour the light will automatically turn back on in this setting.
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 with overcast/cloudy days, the solar panel will still charge. However, not as efficiently as a sunny day, so the battery may not reach full capacity. Therefore turning 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.
