HOFTRONIC 5438172 Maine Solar Bollard Pathway Light

HOW IT WORKS

The solar panel on top of the product charges the built-in rechargeable battery in just 5-6 hours. During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into stored electricity and automatically illuminates for 6-12 hours once night falls. All you need to do is switch it ON, install it in the desired position, and enjoy the light in the evening.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Connect part 1 with part 2 by pushing the lamp head onto the pillar. Connect it to part 3 by pushing the spike into the pillar. (Fig.1)
2. Press the button on the back of the lamp once to switch it on. (Fig.2) Changing the lighting mode: Pressing the switch once: Dim light, the light will stay on for 12 hours if the battery is fully charged. Pressing the switch twice: Bright mode, the light will stay on for 6 hours if the battery is fully charged.
3. Push the spike into the ground. The LED bollard light will automatically turn on at night.

Note : Place the lamp away from other light sources, bright lights can prevent it from automatically illuminating. Place the lamp where it can get 5-6 hours of direct sunlight.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To ensure your light’s optimal performance, we recommend replacing the battery every 1.5-2 years. Just be sure to open the housing unit with care and replace it with the same 3.7-volt, 2200mAh #18650 battery.

1. The battery is located underneath the solar panel. To get access to the battery, unscrew the back cover of the light.
2. Carefully open the compartment and check if the wires are intact.
3. Remove the old battery and replace it with 1 new 3.7V 2200mah #18650 lithium battery.
4. Close the battery compartment and place back the cover with screws. Make sure it’s properly sealed.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

• The light is designed to be waterproof, so it can be used in every weather condition.
• Not sure if the light is on? Simply cover the solar panel with your hands to make it dark, the lamp should light up. If it doesn’t then let it charge for 5-6 hours and test again.
• With a full charge of 5-6 hours the light should illuminate for 6-12 hours. But weather, sun intensity and temperature can affect the working time.
• If the lights lose illumination time or intensity then check if the solar panel is dusty. To guarantee a consistent glow, the solar panel needs to be cleaned every 3 months.
• The light is designed to turn on by itself in night time. It stays off and charges by daytime.
• Provide a sufficient drainage of at least 30-40cm around the product so that water cannot accumulate under the product
