Pre-Installation
PLANNING INSTALLATION: Ensure the mounting location for your solar 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 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.

Installation
Installing the light
NOTE: Do not use a hammer. If the ground is hard, use water to soften.
- Insert the ground stake (E) firmly into the ground at the installation location. If the ground is too hard, soak the ground with water to soften the ground or drive a metal rod or screwdriver into the ground to create a hole for the ground stake (E).
- Connect the pole (D) to the ground stake (E).
- Connect the lamp housing assembly (A & B & C) to the pole (D).
Operation
-
Hold the lamp housing (C) and rotate the top cap (A) counterclockwise until it is loose. Then, remove the top cap and glass shade assembly (A & B) from the lamp housing (C).
-
Rotate the glass shade (B) counterclockwise until it is loose. Then, remove the glass shade (B) from the top cap (A).
-
Your solar path light is equipped with a 3-way selector (ON+PIR, OFF, PIR) on the back of top cap. Prior to use, the selector must be set to ON+PIR or PIR mode as described below. Setting: ON+PIR mode: This setting allows to turn the light on in about 15 lumens output at dusk and off after 8 hours. Motion detection is activated after 8 hours, when motion is detected in this period, it will turn the light back on in about 15 lumens output for a period of 30 seconds. Motion detection mode is automatically turned off at dawn.
Setting: PIR mode: This setting allows the solar light to automatically go into motion detection mode at dusk. When motion is detected the light will turn on in about 50 lumens output for a period of 30 seconds. Motion detection mode is automatically turned off at dawn. -
After you choose your preferred setting, replace the top cap (A) and glass shade (B) back to the lamp housing (C) and allow it to charge for a full sunny day.
Maintenance
Replacing the battery
IMPORTANT: Dispose of the battery in accordance with local, state, and

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|
The nightly run time is short.
|
The battery is not fully charged.
| Ensure that 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 the maximum charging
performance.
The battery is reaching the end of its useful life.| Replace the old battery with 3.7V Lithium ion rechargeable battery.
The solar light does not turn on at night.
| The solar light is set to OFF.| Your solar light is equipped with a 3-way
selector (ON+PIR, OFF, PIR) on the back of top cap. The selector must be set
to ON+PIR or PIR prior to use.
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.
