SOLTECH MORAGA 18W Smart Solar Lighting

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing MORAGA Urban Lighting Products.

Introduction

Incorporated with a simplified cosmetic appearance, MORAGA combines the latest technology of Superior batteries, efficient solar panels, and a smart control system to cultivate the ultimate design and experience for users. The high efficiency 42W solar panel and MPPT solar charge controllers are adopted to ensure sufficient electrical power could be generated every day to ensure stable luminaire work without blackout year-round.

Important

In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery during storage, please fully recharge your battery every 4 months. Please make sure that the light is installed in an area with sufficient sunlight irradiance. A strict minimum of 3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended.

Select the right operating mode according to the local legislation needs and the local sunshine conditions. Keep it away from shadows. Please save these instructions. Read all of the instructions carefully before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring. Do not open or attempt to repair the product on your own, as it many cause serious damage and would void the product warranty. Contact your local distributor for any questions concerning the installation.

Precautions when working with solar panels

When the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, a voltage appears at the output terminals of the solar panel turning it into a source of electricity.
To avoid a shock hazard, make sure the solar panel is covered with an opaque (dark) later such as paper or cloth during the installation. Do not make contact with the terminals when the panel is exposed to sunlight or any other light source.
