EMEMBER
:
• Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth and
warm water. Do not hose spray. Keep the collector
clear of snow and leaves. Make sure trees and other
objects do not block sunlight from the panel.
• If not to be used for several weeks, turn the unit OFF.
Store it with the panel connected and where the panel
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 dis-
charge the battery. Because of the battery protection
circuit, the light will not work until the battery is fully
recharged.
• This light is supplied with a 15 watt bulb. Using a
larger bulb will decrease battery life.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM
Lights stay on
continuously.
Lights flash on
and off.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Light Control is pointed toward a
heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly-colored heat-re-
flective surface
(Reposition sensor).
2. Light Control is in Test Mode
(Switch to Auto).
1. Heat or light from the lamp may be
turning the Light Control on and off
(Reposition the lamps away from
the sensor).
2. Heat being reflected from other
objects may be affecting the sen-
sor
(Reposition sensor).
3. Light Control is in the Test mode
and warming up
(Flashing is nor-
mal under these conditions).
4. Battery is almost dead
(Reduce
sensitivity. If flashing continues,
switch the sensor OFF and let the
battery charge for three or more
sunny days before using again).
