New Morph Technology
Gama Sonic’s NEW Morph Solar Panel Technology is a ground-breaking process in the way we capture more power from the sun. Our Morph technology still uses monocrystalline solar panels. However, instead of the standard limited sized solar panels, our new technology allows the solar panels to MORPH into the light fixture.
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.
NOTE: For best results, the solar light must be charged in the “ON” position for at least 2 days of full direct sunlight.

c. Wall Mount
Note: Installing the light on a wall may limit the solar panel for sun
exposure. Make sure the lamp is mounted so direct sun exposure is available.

Replacement Parts
Replacement Batteries and Bulbs are available at www.gamasonic.com or via our Toll Free number: +1-800-835-4113
Your Lamp can use the following bulbs:
C37WW10W - included bulb with Warm White LEDs (2700K)
C37BW10W - bulb with Bright White LEDs (6000K)
F30WW05W - Flame bulb with simulated flame LEDs
Your lamp uses the following battery: GS32V15 Li-Ion 3.2V/1500mAh
Replacing the battery
After several years of use, the battery may need replacing.
This model features two (2) battery compartments. This light comes with one
(1) pre-installed battery (included), and you have the OPTION to add a second
battery. This is a unique feature designed to give you more choices to prolong
the duration of your solar light. Use this option if your light is exposed to
the sun for more than 4 hours a day. Shorter exposure will NOT charge the
second battery and therefore it is not necessary.
Replacing/Adding Secondary Battery:
- Unscrew the two screw caps and detach the top (A). Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
- Unscrew the battery compartment screw located on the silver reflector and remove the compartment door.
- Unclip the connector and remove the old battery. Make sure the new battery is a Gama Sonic -3.2V/1,500mAh, Li-ion Rechargeable Battery with a connector.
- Clip in the new battery and re-assemble the lamp by reversing steps 1-2.
Batteries are available for purchase atwww.gamasonic.com
WARNING: Do not dispose of Li-Ion batteries 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.
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 light does not come on as expected despite observance of all the instructions, please try the following steps:
- Make sure that the solar lamp is not being affected by any other light source.
- Ensure the solar lamp 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.
