WARNINGS
- If a fitting is found to be damaged, cease use immediately.
- The unit may get warm whilst on for a period of time.
- Always take care when installing your solar light, especially when mounting it in high places (2 person install).
- Ensure the fitting is mounted out of range of head height to avoid injury.
- Fitting must be mounted to a solid lamp post with correct collar size.
- This Solar Light will not charge correctly if the panel is behind glass or artificial light is used. Poor weather will affect charging capability.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Occasional cleaning and care are recommended for this product. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. To maintain efficiency, specifically clean the solar panel, LEDs and sensor on a regular basis. Also, keep the solar panel free of debris and snow to prevent reduced battery life or malfunction. Do not use abrasive cleaners or a lot of water as this could damage the fitting. Please refer to our website for more information on the best way to clean different materials.

DOMINIUM TECHNOLOGY
The Dominium is a highly efficient solar street light with high capacity LiFePO4 batteries and a fast charging Monocrystalline solar panel. This means that even on cloudy and rainy days, it will re-charge efficiently. The high battery capacity gives enough power for up to 5 nights. Although charging can be compromised by poor weather conditions, the working mode can be changed in accordance with the seasons and the solar panel can be adjusted for optimum charging. In addition, the controller automatically adjusts the output power to match variable weather conditions encountered by the solar panel. The 3000 lumens light output is impressively bright, powerful enough to illuminate car parks, driveways and paths, making them safe to navigate at night. Alternatively, angle the light to illuminate signs on a pole.
INSTALLATION
SUPPLIED IN TWO BOXES
LOCATION:- It is important that the installation location is carefully considered, avoiding shady areas. The best solar panel position is south- facing. Take note of motion sensor and illumination direction. Ensure there are no other lights which could interfere with the sensors, imitating daylight.
ACTIVATION:- This solar light will need to be activated upon receipt. For
outdoor activation, connect the waterproof cables and put the full set outside
in full sunshine to charge for at least 3 minutes. When the red indicator
light flashes red, the activation is successful. For indoor activation,
connect the waterproof cables and then press the ON button on the remote
control (remove plastic battery tab first). The lamp will turn on for 1 minute
and turn back off. Activation is successful. Allow at least 1 full day’s
charge prior to usual night time use.
ASSEMBLY
-
Remove the protective sleeve from the aluminium frame of the solar panel
-
Split the solar panel serrated clamp bracket in two by removing the M14 screw / nut with the 12mm allen key (supplied)
-
Attach the square base bracket to the solar panel using 4 x M6 socket screws and 5mm allen key (supplied) – see image. NOTE: bracket located closer to the front of the solar panel.
-
Attach the other half of the bracket to the top of the Dominium Head on the 360 degree platform initially aligning the centre of each adjustable cut-out to the pre-drilled screw points, using the 4 x M6 socket screws already fixed to the head and 5mm allen key.
-
Re-assemble the adjustable panel to attach the solar panel to the top of the Dominium head with the previously removed M14 bolt, lock washer and nut with the M12 allen key. NOTE: washer to remain with screw head.
-
Slide the assembled fitting onto the installed, 60mm diameter post via the lower serrated clamp joint / collar, positioning the fitting in the required position.
-
Secure to the pole with the 6 x M6 socket screws and 5mm allen key.
IMPORTANT: Fasten each screw a little at a time to keep the fitting central to the pole.
-
Connect the solar panel cable to the lamp body via the waterproof, connection (align pins and cut out, push in socket and secure in place with outer screw cap – turn screw cap clockwise until fully fastened).
-
Adjust the angle of the head / panel accordingly (see Adjustments below).
-
Select function with remote control – see Modes & Settings below.
ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust the solar panel angle, loosen the single M14 bolt through the centre
of the serrated clamp joint, adjust angle to full sun position and retighten.
To adjust solar panel position, loosen the 3 M5 bolts on the 360˚ platform,
rotate the bracket to the desired position and then retighten the bolts.
NOTE: the angles are marked on the platform. To adjust the angle of the head, loosen the M14 bolt through the serrated clamp joint attached to the post (below head), adjust angle to desired position and retighten the bolt.

MODES / SETTINGS
As default, the Dominium is set to Mode M. Change the mode to the desired function with the remote control. See below.
MICROWAVE MOTION SENSOR MODES: When triggered, the Dominium will remain at the higher brightness for approx. 10 seconds before returning to reduced brightness (% varies based on mode selected).
REMOTE CONTROL
- ON Turn on the light
- OFF Turn off the light
- L Light Control (2hrs 100%, 2hrs 70%, 8hrs
- T Time Control (1hr 50%, 4hrs 100%, 3hrs 50%, 4hrs 25%)
- S Super Brightness 6hrs 100%, 6hrs 50%
- M Microwave Sensor ( 30%, 100% when motion detected
- U Time + Microwave 2hrs 100%, 2hrs 70%, 2hrs 50%,
- THEN 20%, 50% when motion detected)
- -20% Decrease brightness by 20%
- +20% Increase brightness by 20%
NOTE: Solar charge controller automatically adjusts the output power to match variable weather, sunlight input conditions and the battery charge level. This usually goes unnoticed but positively affects discharge time.
MEMORY FUNCTION When a function is selected, this will remain active for every cycle, unless changed manually. If the lamp is turned off via the remote control, it will remain off until it is manually turned back on with the remote control. When turned back on, the setting will return to original default (M) unless an alternative function is selected.

TROUBLESHOOTING
In particularly long periods of dull weather, illumination time may be affected due to a lower charge rate. To boost charge, turn the light off for 1-2 nights which will result in the light charging but not illuminating. Then turn the light back on as normal and select the function required. It is recommended that Microwave Mode (M) is used at times when weather is poor to help retain charge.
| PROBLEM | TROUBLE SHOOTING STEPS | SOLUTION |
|---|
No light at night
| Check if the solar panel is blocked from sunlight by houses, trees, or other
obstacles.
| Clear obstructions or change installation location.
Check if there are any artificial light
source(s) affecting the solar panel.
| Remove artificial light source(s) or
change the installation location.
Check the battery has power. There will be a green light flashing on the microwave sensor to indicate if there is
power.
| Put the solar light in strong sunshine on charge for approx. 4-6 hours, then
observe the light(s) again.
If all above steps do not resolve the issue:| Disconnect the cable between the
solar panel and lamp, then connect it again. Press M mode, then wait for 1
minute
and the lamp should light again.
Test the battery voltage| If the battery voltage is lower than 11v, it is protected automatically. Use the solar panel to charge the battery directly. After fully charged, battery voltage should show 14v or above.
Then observe the light again.
Test the solar panel voltage| Test the solar panel voltage, if the voltage is lower than 10v, the battery
will need replacing.
A serious shortage of working time
| Check if the solar panel is blocked from sunlight by houses, trees and other
obstacles.
| Clear obstructions or change the installation location.
Check if the solar panel is dusty or
covered.
| Clean the surface of the solar panel.
Confirm if the working mode is correct.| Use the remote control to readjust
the
mode to ‘M’.
If there has been cloudy and rainy conditions for more than 5 days, this
may have an effect.
| After a full day of sunshine, observe the lights again. The light can be turned off
at night to help boost charge.
Lights fail to turn on properly via motion sensor
| Check if the working mode is correct.| Adjust the mode to ‘M’ or ‘U’
Check if the temperature outside has been very hot.| When the air temperature
is very hot, motion detection may slow down. It will return to normal when the
temperature has lowered.
Check if the light has been installed too high up.| If the light exceeds 10m high, it’s out of
the motion sensor detection range. It is recommended to reduce the height.
