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.
