can gather sunlight.
• solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight. Every
hour the light is on requires a minimum of 16 hours of
sunlight charging. solar panels collect less than 10%
of the sun’s energy. Light bulbs convert this energy to
light at 5% efficiency.
• several days of use with overcast skies may discharge
the battery. Because of the battery protection circuit,
the light will not work until the battery is fully recharged.
Note:
To determine if the battery is charged after the
initial setup, watch the red LED on the front of the sensor.
If it blinks when motion is sensed, then the battery is
charged. If not, then turn the ON-TIME switch to off and
allow the sun to charge the battery for 3 to 7 days. Test
the battery as described under
