BEGONIA 8W

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing CEGONIA Urban Lighting Products.
Introduction
BEGONIA combines stylish design with high efficiency. You can adjust both the tilt angle and the azimuth to make sure the panel is in the optimal position to capture the sun’s energy. It is a perfect fit for courtyards, parks, schools, communities, and paths.
Important
In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery during storage, please fully recharge your battery every 4 months. Please make sure that the light is installed in an area with sufficient sunlight irradiance. A strict minimum of 3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended. Select the right operating mode according to the local legislation needs and the local sunshine conditions. Keep it away from shadows. Self-cleaning is available when the light fixture has a minimum angle of 15 degrees.
Please save these instructions. Read all of the instructions carefully before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring. Do not open or attempt to repair the product on your own, as it may cause serious damage and would void the product warranty. Contact your local distributor for any questions concerning the installation.
The range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20­26 feet (6­8 meters). The ideal installation spacing is >16 feet(5 meters). When installing two or more lighting fixtures on one pole, select desired operating mode before installation. Interference can cause delay or malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes after installation.
Precautions when working with solar panels When the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, a voltage appears at the output terminals of the solar panel turning it into a source of electricity. To avoid a shock hazard, make sure the solar panel is covered with an opaque (dark) later such as paper or cloth during the installation. Do not make contact with the terminals when the panel is exposed to sunlight or any other light source.

Battery Notes

1. The LiFePO4 -battery-powered CEGONIA lights are visibly brighter than other outdoor solar lights, and their performance overall is more reliable.
2. To charge the battery fully may take up 6 to 12 hours.
3. The output will be reduced to 40% when the battery is below 40% of its capacity.
4. Battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is below 32°F or above 149°F.

Battery Status is indicated by the red/green indicator on the lighting fixture as follows:
– Red indicator (Charging)

Slow red light flashing = Charging
Red light continuously on = fully charged
Quick red flashing = charge fault
– Green indicator (not charging)
Green light continuously on = more than 40% of the battery capacity remaining
Slow green light flashing = battery capacity below 10%
Quick green light flashing = battery below 0% mode
–Protect the battery does not over-discharging
Storage To avoid over-discharge of the battery during storage, please recharge the lighting fixture every 4 months. Use the dedicated charger to charge, and reset the switch when done.

Battery Replacement

1. Disconnect the wire connectors.
2. Loose the screws of the battery pack and take out the battery pack.
3.  Replace a new one.
4. Tighten the screws of the battery pack.
5. Connect the wire connectors (Be sure you match the color when you connect them).

( IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the BEGONIA under shady trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Before integrating this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote would yield an accurate percentage of max LED brightness. Now with (IAP), the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes light output of the selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase our off- grid performance by up to 40%.

1. Disconnect wires
2. Loose the screws of the battery pack and take out the battery pack.
3. Replace the new battery pack and tighten the screws.

Installation and Wiring Compliance

1. Installation and wiring must comply with the State and National Electrical Codes.
2. The CEGONIA 8W, 20W, and 30W models are intended for outdoor use only and should not be installed in an unventilated area, and shall be installed in an environment within the operational temperatures defined for the product.
3. The average sunshine in the installation area should be above 3.5 hours/day in order to ensure full functionality of the lighting fixture. Avoid areas with shades.
4. Before installation, if applicable, please ensure the light pole and its foundation are solid enough to withstand the lighting fixture(s).
5. Before installation, please ensure that the battery is fully charged. Install during sunny days if possible.
6. Before installation, please press the ON/OFF key in the remote control and check whether it shows a red light on the indicator. Please cover the panel and check if the light module turns on normally within 1 minute.

After Installation
The lighting fixture will automatically turn on at night and turn off during daylight.
Important
Always orient the solar panel facing the equator (e.g. facing south if in the northern hemisphere). Always have a tilt angle of at least 15° to avoid dust accumulation (0°=horizontal plane).

Installation

Panel Angle

The solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever, the off­grid system relies on stored daylight for autonomy. Angling your solar panels properly can boost the power intake of your lights. You want to angle your solar panels at a tilt equal to the area’s latitude.
Tip
You can increase the tilt by 15° in the winter or decrease by 15° in the summer. In this way, you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battery bank.

The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West & East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean that the solar charger will be less optimal if installations are facing North.

Remote Control Guide

The range of the remote control to the indicator is 16ft (Daytime) to 33ft (Nighttime). Because the sunlight will impact the signal of the remote control, we recommend that users set up the mode before they install the light.

1. On/Off”
   When off is selected, the light will stop working. The solar panel will not charge the battery and the battery will not supply electricity to the light.

2. Connect/Test
   A remote control device can be connected to any lighting fixture, one at a time. To connect, press the button once. It also functions as a test button. To test, press the “Test” button once, the red light will indicate the fixture is charging, a green light indicates that the fixture is operating. Testing lasts for 10 seconds, and then it goes back to the mode previously in use.’

3. 40%~100% Motion Sensor Mode
   Constant 40% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn); 100% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motion is detected.

4. 20%~80% Motion Sensor Mode (Default)
   Constant 20% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn); 80% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motionis detected.

5. Night Owl Mode
   Changes as natural light decreases/increases (turns on at dusk); 70% brightness for 0.5 hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50% brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 5 hours (turns off at Dawn).

6. Early Bird Mode
   Changes as natural light decreases/increases with increased brightness near dawn for early risers (turns on at dusk); 70% brightness for 0.5 hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50% brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 4 hours, 100% brightness for 1 hour (turns off at Dawn).

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the BEGONIA under shady trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Prior to including this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote determined the constant percentage of max LED brightness. Now with (IAP), the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller now applies the selected percentage output on the remote to the battery capacity, rather than the max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase our off-grid performance by up to 40%.
