Spectral ChartSOLTECH Long Wavelength Amber LED

Standard Low Kelvin LED

(Left) The SOLTECH turtle & marine LED nanometer light range is a narrow window invisible to turtles and safe for human eyes, marine-animal eyes, the night sky, and the general environment. Keeping the spectrum in this narrow window optimizes these functions. Regular LEDs (right) can produce a low 2,500 Kelvin spectrum that might appear equivalent to our amber LEDs, but the nanometer spectrum is still wide and therefore visible to marine life, more harmful to retinas, and causes more light pollution.

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
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.

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the SUNLIKE 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%.

Important Dusk and dawn time may be diffrent in other locations and seasons. The sensors of our products will follow the light patterns of where it is installed. The time period shown in the chart above is just an example to help you understand the different lighting modes only.
