⚠ Read all instructions before assembly.
Failure to do so may result in faulty assembly and potential injury.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FUNCTION: The built-in solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. The rechargeable battery stores the energy and converts the power into light for use during the night. The lighting hours of the solar light depends on the geographical location and weather condition. Stronger or longer exposure to sunlight enables the battery to store more energy and provide longer lighting hours.
LOCATION: It is important to select an outdoor location with full, direct sunlight where the solar panel can receive at least 8 hours of sunlight each day. Shady areas will not enable batteries to be fully charged. This will reduce the lighting hours at night. It is also important to avoid placing the solar light by light sources, such as street lights or porch lights, which may cause the solar light to turn off automatically. The solar light is designated for outdoor usage and ideal for night lighting of garden, paths, etc.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: Please use a damp cloth to clean the solar panel. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaner. It is important to ensure that no moisture enters into the solar light. Replacement parts may be ordered by using the fixture model number and part’s name; please write to the e-mail address located at the top and bottom of this instruction manual.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY: This product contains 1 pc 1.2V AA 1 000mAh rechargeable battery for each. When the battery expires, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Please contact your local waste disposal authority for correct procedure. Do not put battery into fire.

- 4″x4″
- 3-5/8″ x 3-5/8″ (Fits Standard 4 x 4 Wood Post)
-
Place the body (part C&D, indivisible) onto the post and mark with a pencil where you will need to pre-drill for Screws (Part H) and Plastic Anchors (Part I) if required.
-
Remove the body (part C&D, indivisible) temporarily and pre-drill holes if necessary.
-
Replace the body (part C&D, indivisible) back onto the post and secure with Screws (Part H) in 2 locations.
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT
OPERATION (Figure 2)
- Twist the Solar Panel Unit (Part A) a¼ turn in a counter clockwise direction until it separates from the body (part C&D, indivisible) .
- Slid the Switch underneath the Solar Panel Unit (Part A) to select lighting according to your preference. RGB and WHITE for your option, but never on OFF position.
- Take the light to direct sunshine that allows the rechargeable battery to reach its maximum capacity. Ensure the light is in full sunlight for 8 hours.
- The unit will then automatically light up at dusk.
Note: Lights with crystalline panels may have a protective film over the solar panel. This must be removed prior to use.
CHANGING THE BATTERY (Figure 3)
- Twist the Solar Panel Unit (Part A) a¼ turn in a counter clockwise direction until it separates from the body (part C&D, indivisible).
- Unscrew the screws at the four corners, and separate the cover gently. (NOTE: wires inside are connecting, so you have to be careful, otherwise, the light will not work once wires are Brocken).
- Replace the battery with a new 1.2V AA 1000mAh solar rechargeable battery, ensuring the correct polarity is observed.
- Reassemble the unit by reversing the above procedure.
- Fully charge the battery before first use for up to 2 days in full sunlight. The unit will then automatically light up at dusk.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The light does not come on at night:
- Make sure the switch is on RGB or WHITE position, rather than on OFF position.
- Check the rechargeable battery and make sure that it is in contact to the metal plate and the polarity is correct. If the battery is worn out, replace the battery with a new AA 1000mAh rechargeable battery.
- Always keep the solar light distant from other night light sources, such as exterior lights. Reposition the light to avoid close contact with other night light sources.
- Make sure solar panel is clean and free of dirt and debris. If needed use a damp cloth to clean the solar panel. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaner. It is important to ensure that no moisture enters into the solar light.
