Functioning
The solar cell installed in the product converts sunlight into electrical
energy and stores it in 1 Ni-MH rechargeable battery. Switch on the
product with the ON/OFF switch
6
. The product will automati-
cally light on as it begins to get dark. The LEDs are a very long-life
and energy-saving light source. The light duration depends on the
amount of sunlight, the angle of light on the solar cell and the tem-
perature (the battery capacity is temperature-dependent). A vertical
angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal. The
rechargeable battery does not achieve maximum capacity until after
several charge and discharge cycles.
In summer a completely drained rechargeable battery takes about
2 to 4 days to fully recharge in constant sunlight.
