Intended Use
The 144-LED Solar-Powered Motion Security Light provides brilliant illumination using the power of the sun without using electricity. For convenience, this powerful light is equipped with motion activation to automatically trigger the light when motion is detected within a 40 foot range. You can select how long you want the light to remain on, from 8 to 2 mins. The included amorphous solar panel charges the rechargeable battery even in cloudy conditions and can be placed up to 10 feet from the light.

Assembly Instructions
- Lamp Unit Installation
- Use the ‘U’ shaped mounting plate located to the rear of the lamp to mark where you want to install the lamp.
- Make sure it is clear of obstacles such as cables and electric lines.
- Secure lamp to the wall with the screws provided.
- Carefully route the wire from the solar panel to the lamp and plug it into the battery housing input.
- Adjust the motion sensor so that it faces the area where motion detection is desired. You can move it up and down by adjusting the screw on the neck of the motion detector
- Use the ‘U’ shaped mounting plate located to the rear of the lamp to mark where you want to install the lamp.
Note: The lamp unit should be mounted 6.5-9 feet (2-3 meters), from the ground to ensure motion detection is optimized.
- Wall or deck mounting of solar panel
- Secure the bracket to the solar panel with the screw provided (shown below).
- Set the bracket on the surface and secure in place with larger screws provided.
- Adjust the angle of the solar panel to ensure it receives optimum sunlight
Note: The Solar Panel is equipped with a length of wire. Ensure that the wire will reach the desired position of the lamp before making the final installation.
Before Each Use
Solar lights require sunlight to function properly. Extended periods of cloudy weather will cause shorter runtimes. Shade on the solar panel is to be avoided. The solar panel may be cleaned with a clean damp cloth. Do not use soap, solvents, or abrasives. A regular visual inspection is recommended. Ensure the solar panel is free from debris and in a location where it will receive several hours of sunlight each day. Ensure the light is facing the desired direction and that there are no nearby alternate light sources that may interfere with the motion sensor.
Operating Instructions
- Before the Solar Motion Light can operate to its full capacity, allow the unit to charge in sunlight for 2 days with the solar panel wire connected to the light. Charging should be done with the unit in the “OFF” position.
- Located at the bottom of the Battery Housing there is a OFF/AUTO/ON switch:
- “AUTO” position, the light will turn on automatically when motion is detected.
- “ON” position, the light can be used as a standard light for constant illumination.
- “OFF” position, the light will remain off and will not detect any movement.
How to Use Control Dials
The Solar Motion Light has 3 dials which control the light’s duration, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to motion.
LUX (Light Level)
The LUX dial adjusts the sensitivity to darkness. If set to the maximum level, the light will go on in daylight. If set to the minimum level, the sensor will only trigger the light to turn on at dusk or when it is dark out. This is the ideal position for general use. Please note that ambient light will affect the sensor.
Time
The time dial sets the duration the light will stay on when triggered. The duration is adjustable from 8 seconds to 2 minutes. Rotating the dial clockwise will increase the duration the light will stay on.
SENS (Sensitivity)
The SENS dial adjusts the sensitivity of motion detection:
- Minimum position – Low Range: large movement is required to trigger the light to turn on.
- Mid Position – Medium setting.
- Maximum position – Maximum range: the smaller movements will trigger the light to turn on.
Location of the Solar Light
Solar powered lights require sunlight to recharge the internal batteries. For
best results, locate the Solar Panel in a position where it will receive
direct sunlight, and is generally free from cover and shade.
Maintenance
Maintain the solar powered light by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance with the following recommended procedures.
| Maintenance Interval | Maintenance Point |
|---|---|
| First Use | Allow the solar panel to charge the light for 2 sunny days. |
Observe the solar panel once installed for one day. Ensure that it is not shaded at any time during daylight.
Observe the light once installed during the evening. Ensure there is no alternate light source that will interfere with the light’s sensors.
Seasonally
| Visually inspect the solar panel and light to ensure both are clear of debris and dirt.
Observe the solar panel during one sunny day to ensure that as the suns position has changed in the sky, the solar panel is still receiving optimal sunlight throughout the day.
During the Winter
| Check the solar panel. Ice should not be allowed to form on the solar panel as the freezing can damage waterproof seals.
Adjust the angle of the solar panel to the sun’s lower position in the sky. This will maximize the amount of sunlight received and help allow any water or snow that accumulates on the panel to slide off.
Troubleshooting
Use the table below to troubleshoot problems before contacting service personnel or your local dealer. If the problem continues after troubleshooting, call your local dealer for assistance.
| Failure | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Batteries are not fully charged. | Ensure the solar panel is in a location |
