CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR SOLAR SECURITY LIGHT
This Solar Security Light comes complete with a solar panel attached to a 15 foot power
cord. For optimum sun exposure and longer light output, place the solar panel in a position
that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Placing the solar panel in a
shaded location or even behind a window will not allow the battery to charge fully, reducing
the number of hours the light will operate per evening. Ensure that the solar panel is not
placed near night time light sources such as porch lighting or street lighting.
This Solar Security Light is ideal for lighting up areas where electricity is not available
— including porches, driveways, carports, garages and entrance areas – for safety and
security around your home.
When deciding where to mount the light, keep in mind that the motion sensor has a field of
vision of 180º (horizontal) at a distance of up to 40 feet when the surrounding temperature
is 75°F. The outside temperature will impact the detection distance.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SOLAR SECURITY LIGHT

Mount the Security Light onto a solid surface, using the two (2) wood/sheet metal
screws supplied. You may mount the Security Light either vertically or horizontally.
2.
Use the four (4) wood/sheet metal screws supplied to mount the solar panel onto a

panel to a different locking position. Remember to face the panel south for direct
sunlight exposure.
