How Solar Light Works

During the day, the solar panel converts solar energy into energy and stores it in the rechargeable battery. At night, the light turns on automatically and uses stored energy. The duration of illumination will depend on the geographical location, weather conditions and seasonal light availability.

Choosing an Ideal Location

Choose an outdoor location where the solar panel can receive at least 6 hours full and direct sunshine each day. Shady locations will reduce the battery charge and shorten the illumination time at night. Avoid placing solar lights near bright light sources, such as street lights. The bright light sources may cause the solar light to turn off automatically. Solar lights are ideal for night time lighting in the garden, lawn, etc. You can also place the solar lights indoors during the day and then place them indoors for lighting.

Attention for First-Time Use

Turn the ON/OFF switch to “ON” position, the light sensor will control the light automatically. When the environment darks, the solar light will turn on and use the energy stored in the battery. If you turn the ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position, the solar light will turn off to save energy. If the solar light does not turn on automatically at night after 6 hours of charging during the day, please check the following:

1. Make sure the power switch is at the “ON” position.
2. Check the battery and make sure the battery contacts the terminal securely.
3. Make sure the solar light is located in a sunny location and the solar panel can receive direct sunlight.
4. If the model without the ON/OFF switch, please remove the battery protection lip near the battery before using.

Precautions
Please note, the solar light is designed to work when the environment gets dark. The selected location should not be near a light source such as a porch light or street light, as these might keep the solar lights from automatically turning on.

1. Although the battery has been charged by the manufacturer, the electric charged may have dropped by the time consumer receives the product.
2. Please let the solar light charge for a full day for the maximum performance.
3. Surface of the solar panel must be kept clean. Dusty surface will reduce charging efficiency.

Replace Battery
If the solar light stops working after it has been used for a long time, the battery may need to be replaced. You may open the battery cover and replace it with a new rechargeable battery. Battery Specification: 1 x 1.2V/ 400mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery

Disposal and Recycling of Batteries
To protect the environment, batteries must not be thrown in the domestic garbage, nor disposed of in a fire as they contain dangerous materials. Dispose of batteries by taking them to your local waste collection service to be recycled. Replacement batteries can be purchased at most electrical retailers.
