Solar lantern User Manual
The solar lantern is frostproof and can therefore be left outdoors all year
round (IP65). An LED bulb and rechargeable batteries are included.
Before use,
A solar lantern purchased from Eva Solo A/S is ready to use straight out of
the box. All the lamp requires before it starts providing light is to be
placed in the sun for a full day, after which it will light up later that same
evening.
Outdoor sitting
For optimum use of the lamp, it should be placed in direct sunlight and not
be in shadow for any part of the day. A shady sitting will have a lot of
influence on how much energy the batteries can absorb over the course of the
day, which affects how long the lamp is lit in the evening and at night. Other
sources of outdoor light, such as street lighting, etc. may affect how much
light the lamp gives off, as the built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor may have trouble
detecting if it is daylight.
How does the solar lantern work?
The solar panel is hidden under the lamp’s shade. The lamp works by converting
sunlight into electrical energy. The sunlight is captured by a solar panel
located underneath the lamp’s shade. The solar panel converts solar energy
into electricity by means of a built-in battery. This powers the lamp’s LED
bulb. The lamp also contains a built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor. When this feature
is set to ‘automatic’, the lamp lights up once it detects nightfall. The
energy from the solar radiation stored in the batteries over the course of the
day is what powers the LED bulb at nightfall. On days when the sky is overcast
or cloudy or rain, the solar lantern will not be able to charge its batteries
sufficiently for the lamp to light up at night. To conserve battery energy,
remember to always switch off the lamp again when not in use or set it to
‘automatic’.
The solar lantern can also be charged via a USB wall adapter. A 2.5-meter
cable is supplied for optional charging of the lamp on days of weak sunlight.
Please note that the USB wall adapter itself is not supplied; only a charging
cable. A universal USB wall adapter with a mini-port can be used for this.
Settings – on/off/automatic
The lamp has three settings selected by means of a button on the lamp base.
When the lamp is switched on, it charges and lights up even in daylight. When
the lamp is switched off, the bulb does not light up, but the lamp will carry
on charging. When the lamp is set to ‘automatic’, the lamp switches on and off
automatically depending on the level of light outdoors. After 6 hours on its
‘automatic’ setting, the lamp switches off of its own accord, thereby
conserving its energy.
To switch on the lamp, push the button once; the bulb will now begin to light
up. To switch the lamp off, do the same: push the button once. To set the
lantern to ‘automatic’, hold the button in for 5 seconds; the lamp will now
flash 4 times to indicate that the automatic setting is switched on.
Testing your solar lamp
To test that the solar panel and bulb are working properly, you can hold the
solar lantern under direct lamplight for 2 minutes. Then hold down the on/off
button for 3 seconds. If the LED bulb flashes, the lamp is working and will be
fully charged after a full day in sunlight. If the LED bulb does not flash,
try placing the lamp either in full sunlight for a whole day or under
artificial lighting for a whole day. Then hold down the on/off button for 3
seconds. If the LED bulb flashes, the lamp is working and will be fully
charged after a full day in sunlight. The SunLight Lounge lamps can also be
charged for 3.5 hours via a USB wall adapter before using them the first time.
If the LED bulb still does not flash or turn on after charging, try replacing
the batteries (see next section). If the solar lamp still does not light up,
please contact your nearest retailer.
Battery replacement
If the solar lamp no longer lights up after completing all the above test
steps, the batteries should be replaced.
– Undo the four internal screws located in the lamp base, as shown in the
illustration
– Remove the cover
– Remove the spent batteries
– Insert the new rechargeable batteries
– Replace the cover and s
Note: It is extremely important that the batteries used for the solar
lantern are rechargeable and of the same type (nickel-metal hydride) as the
batteries supplied with the lamp. Otherwise, the lamp will not work.
Cleaning
The lamp should be cleaned as and when needed. To clean it, simply wipe the
shade and base with a damp, well-wrung cloth. For more thorough cleaning,
dismantle the shade and wipe the solar panel, also with a damp, well-wrung
cloth:
– Next, undo the four external screws located on the underside of the lamp’s
shade
– Liftoff the shade
– Wipe the solar panel, including the LED bulb
– Replace the shade and screw the four screws back in place to secure the
shade]
Precautions
- The lamp contains a built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor, which detects nightfall and ensures that the solar lamp starts glowing as it gets dark. If there are any other sources of lighting nearby, the dusk-to-dawn sensor may have trouble detecting if it is day or night. This may cause the lamp to not switch on.
- To ensure that the solar lamp absorbs the right amount of solar radiation, it is important to keep the solar lantern shade concealing the solar panels clean.
- Note that cold drains the batteries faster, so the solar lamp can be expected to provide light for a shorter period of time in winter compared to in summer.
- The solar lantern can only be charged by solar radiation. This means that the solar lamp should not be expected to provide light on days when the sky is overcast or in periods of weak sunlight.
