Pre-Installation
PLANNING INSTALLATION
Ensure the mounting location for your solar stake light allows the solar panel
to receive direct sunlight. Do not locate the product in shaded areas as this
will significantly reduce performance.
Position the solar stake light such that during evening hours the ambient
light from other light sources does not affect the photosensor built into the
solar panel. High ambient light levels can cause the lamp to turn off during
evening hours
NOTE: The solar light is equipped with a photosensor that turns the unit on at dusk and off at dawn. Ambient light can affect the operation of the photosensor.

Troubleshooting
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
The nightly run time is shorter. | The battery is not fully charged. | Ensure |
the solar light is located in an area where it can receive the maximum amount
of full, direct sunlight every day. Keeping the solar panel clean is equally
important to ensure maximum charging performance.
The battery is reaching the end of its useful life.| Replace the old battery
with a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery.
The solar light does not turn on at night.| Your solar light is equipped with
an AUTO/OFF switch on the back of the solar box. This switch must be set to
AUTO prior to use.| Prior to use, check that the unit has been set to the AUTO
position and allowed to charge on a full sunny day.
The solar light is installed close to other light sources, which may keep the
solar light from turning on at night automatically.| Relocate the fixture or
eliminate other light sources.
