turn on at dusk at 70% total brightness until the battery either runs flat or
daylight is sensed

This setting puts your light into sensor mode where by any movement detected
will trigger the light to perform at 100% for approx. 1 minute. At all other
times an ambient soft glow is emitted
OFF – Light is manually switched off and will not operate but will still
charge – Do not leave in this setting for any extended period of time, 72hrs
maximum
INSTALLATION METHOD
-
Remove contents from packaging
NOTE : Before continuing, we recommend you put your light in direct sunlight (with the switch in the
“OFF” position) for 2 days before installation -
Locate a position where your light will receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day
-
Make sure to switch your light head to the mode you wish to operate in before installation (FIGURE 2)
-
Using the supplied Nuts & Bolts, fix the pillar base mount in your desired location
-
To connect light head to the top of your pillar base, twist the light head into the connector (FIGURE 1)
IMPORTANT NOTES
- Please ensure you place the solar panel in a location where it can achieve a minimum of 6HRS DIRECT SUNLIGHT
- Be aware that on 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, your light may turn off earlier than specified
- It’s best not to install the fitting underneath a street light, porch light etc. because this may stop the automatic daylight sensor triggering and result in your lights not turning on
