Introduction
Thank you for purchasing BEACON Solar Powered LED Traffic Sign Light. Important Please read these instructions before installation to ensure optimum results and longevity of your lights. The solar panel should be charged in full sunlight for 8 to 9 hours before initial first use to provide optimum results. Features This solar-powered flashing traffic sign light, BEACON, will give advance warning to drivers on the road or in shopping centers with its bright flashing LED light. It is ideal for warning applications, and low visibility areas where dangerous conditions or obstructions exist. It can additionally be used to enhance the visibility of unlit roadway caution or stop signs, railroad crossings, and bridge abutments. BEACON features a removable solar panel capable of rotation to adjust to the sun’s angle.
It is powered entirely by a solar panel and battery, with no AC power
required.
Notice & Warning
- The BEACON will provide optimal performance where there is enough sunshine.
- Please note the lighting run time depends on sunshine duration and weather.
- Do not disassemble the light fixture.
- Do not dispose of the battery as garbage to avoid explosion.
Please Note
During continuous rainy or cloudy days, the run time may be reduced as the
battery will not be fully charged.

Panel Angle
The solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever. The off-grid system
relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels properly
can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You want to angle
your solar panels at a tilt based on 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.
Best Facing Direction of Solar Panel
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 charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.
Warranty
BEACON is covered by a 3-year limited warranty. SOLTECH urban light warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the period of 3 years from the date of purchase. To obtain warranty service please contact your local distributor or sales rep for further instruction.
