About Your Solar Light
During the day your solar panel will convert the sun's light and/or UV
rays into electrical power that will charge the rechargeable battery. When
it becomes dark, the solar light will turn on using the power stored on the
rechargeable battery as it will detect no day light. The units light output
strength and time depends on how many hours and how much sunlight
and/or UV rays your panel absorbs throughout the day.
For maximum output place the solar panel in an area where there is direct
sunlight for at least 8 hours in a given day. Do not install your solar light
in a shaded area. The selected location should not be near night time light
sources such as; porch lights, street lights or pool lights as these may
cause the solar light to turn off prematurely.
Getting Started
Please do not throw away any packing material until all parts are verified
as present.
Important
•
Fully charge the battery before first use. Charge under direct sunlight
in the <OFF> position for 2 days.
•
For best results, locate your solar lamp in a position where it can get
direct sunlight on the solar panel and generally free from cover and
shade.
•
Keep your solar lights away from other night-time light sources, such
as streetlights.
•
Make sure the solar panels are not covered by dust, snow and debris.
Clean it with a soft damp cloth or paper towel periodically. Avoid the
use of abrasive cleaning agents.
•
Use only rechargeable batteries for your solar lights. Replace with a
new battery of the same size each year for optimum performance.
•
The performance of the solar light will vary with the time of year. It
will deliver more light when it has had a full day in the sun rather
than a day in overcast weather.
