01 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing HYBRID Urban Lighting Products.

Introduction Outdoor solar lighting systems use solar cells which convert sunlight into electricity. Electricity is stored in batteries for use at night. HYBRID solar lights are easy to install and virtually maintenance free. Using them won’t increase your electric bill.
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. Self-cleaning available when the light fixture have minimum angle of 15 degrees.
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.
Range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20­26 feet (6­8 meters). The ideal installation spacing is >16 feet(5 meters). When installing two or more lighting fixtures on one pole, select desired operating mode before installation. Interference can cause delay or malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes after 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.

02 Battery Notes

1. The LiFePO4 -battery-powered Sunlike lights are visibly brighter than other outdoor solar lights, and their performance overall is more reliable.
2. To charge the battery fully may take up 6 to 12 hours.
3. The rechargeable battery can work continuously for 10 hours at full power.
4. Output will be reduced to 40% when the battery is below 40% of its capacity.
5. Battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is below -22°F or above 140°F.

Battery Status is indicated by the red/green indicator on the lighting fixture as follows: – Red indicator (Charging) > Slow red light flashing = Charging > Red light continuously on = fully charged > Quick red flashing = charge fault – Green indicator (Discharging) > Green light continuously on = more than 40% of the battery
capacity remaining > Slow green light flashing = battery capacity below 10% > Quick green light flashing = battery below 0% mode–Protect
battery does not over discharging
Storage To avoid over discharge of the battery during storage, please recharge the lighting fixture every 3 months. Use the dedicated charger to charge, reset the switch when done.

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the HYBRID under shady trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Before integrating this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote would yield an accurate percentage of max LED brightness. Now with (IAP), the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes light output of the selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase our off-grid performance by up to 40%.

MPPT Controller · Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is a technique for
tracking and regulating the output energy from the solar panel to the battery. · Measures the solar panel output voltage and current in real-time and continuously tracks the maximum power. · Regulates the output voltage so that the system can always charge the battery with the maximum power. · Significantly improves the solar system energy utilization rate, with a conversion efficiency up to 97%. · Increases the solar system’s charging efficiency by at least 20% compared to Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

03 Installation and Wiring Compliance

1. Installation and wiring must comply with the State and National Electrical Codes.
2. The HYBRID 45W/65W model is intended for outdoor use only and should not be installed in an unventilated area, and shall be installed in an environment within the operational temperatures defined for the product.
3. Before installation, if applicable, please ensure the light pole and its foundation are solid enough to withstand the lighting fixture(s).

4. Before installation, please ensure that the battery is fully charged. Install during sunny days if possible.
5. Before installation, please press the ON/OFF key in the remote control and check whether it shows a red light on the indicator. Please cover the panel and check if the light module turns on normally within 1 minute.
After Installation The lighting fixture will automatically turn on at night and turn off during daylight.
Important Always orient the solar panel facing the equator (e.g. facing south if in northern hemisphere). Always have a tilt angle of at least 15° to avoid dust accumulation (0°=horizontal plane).

06 Panel Angle

The solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever. The off­grid system relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels properly can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You want to angle your solar panels at a tilt based on the area’s latitude.
Tip

Key

You can increase the tilt 15° in the winter or decrease 15° in the summer. In this way you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battrey

The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West & East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean that the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.

The range of the remote control to the indicator is 16ft (Day time) to 33ft (Night time). Because the sunlight will impact the signal of the remote control, we suggest our users to setup the mode before they install the light.

1. On/Off When off is selected, the light will stop working. The solar panel will not charge the battery and the battery will not supply electricity to the light.
2. Connect/Test Remote control device can be connected with any lighting fixture, one at a time. To connect, press the button once. It also functions as a test button. To test, press the “Test” button once, the red light will indicate the fixture is charging, green light indicates that the fixture is operating. Testing lasts for 10 seconds, and then it goes back to the mode previously in use.
