Operation Switch
Place the lamp in one of the two operating settings: On: The lamp will
constantly be on at 270 Lumens for the first four hours. After that, it will
be reduced to 135 Lumens and increase to 270 Lumens when motion is detected
for one minute.
PIR: The lamp will remain off until motion is detected after Dusk. When
motion is detected, it will shine at 800 Lumens for one minute.
Timer Switch
The timer switch works for both operation settings and controls the overall
length of time the lamp will function for.
Using a small flathead screwdriver, turn the arrow to the following settings:
0 = Dusk to Dawn operation
4,5,6,7,8 = The number of hours the lamp will operate from Dusk.
Note: When using lamp in “On” setting, the lamp will still be bright for the
first four hours and will cease operating after the total hours on the Timer
Switch has elapsed. Example: when timer is set to 6, the lamp will dim to
100 Lumens for two hours.

Solar Lamp Location
For optimum light duration throughout the night, it is very important to mount
your solar lamp in a spot where it will receive the maximum amount of direct
sunlight throughout the day.
Post Mount:
Assemble hardware to fixture housing as shown in the image (make sure the
curved side of the mount faces in). Slide fixture over light post so the
curved side of the mount hugs the light pole. Adjust the light to the desired
height and position. Then tighten the two bolts. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
SCREWS
Advice: ideal pole height: 6.5 – 13 feet; ideal
pole diameter: 2 inches.
If multiple lights are purchased install between 25-40 feet apart for optimal
light spread.
Surface Mount:
Make sure the alignment of your mounting location is level and even for your
solar light installation. Drill two holes into your desired installation
surface using the lamp as a template and place anchors in to the holes.
Position the two provided screws through the holes of the lamp and into the
anchors. Tighten the screws to secure the lamp to the surface.
Note: There are
specific types of screws for different surfaces. If you’re unsure of the
appropriate type of screw to use on your desired surface, please consult a
professional.
Replacing the Batteries
After several years of use, the battery may need replacing.
- Remove the lamp from where it is mounted and turn upside down.
- Remove all 10 screws from the underside of the security light and remove the solar panel.
- Unclip the battery connector and remove the old battery. Make sure the new battery is a high quality – 1x Li-Ion Battery pack 3.7V/6,000 mAh (Item GS37V60) with matching connector.
- Install the new battery into the battery compartment.
- Re-assemble by reversing Steps 1-2.
Maintenance
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be careful not to
put too much pressure on the solar panels while cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of all the instructions, please try the following steps:
- Make sure that the solar light is not being affected by any other light source (i.e street lights).
- Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the day.
- Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year.
It will last longer when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in
overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or
debris accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will
charge the batteries much more efficiently.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children. Do not dispose of the Li-
Ion battery in the regular trash, municipal waste stream or by fire as
batteries may leak or explode. Do not open, short circuit, or mutilate
batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our environment by recycling Li-Ion
batteries or disposing of them in accordance with local, State and federal
regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Please keep out of reach of children.
