Mounting location
Pay attention to the "Safety instructions" section.
• The product must be placed in a location where the lamp head is exposed to direct sunlight for
as long as possible to ensure that the batteries charge properly. The solar panel is located in the
base of the lamp head. Ensure that the lamp head is not covered or shaded.
• Do not place the product next to other light sources, e.g. patio or street lights, as this may
prevent the product from turning on automatically in the dark.
• The product is designed for unsheltered outdoor use. However, it should never be used in or
under water.
• Place the product in a place with good access to light so that the solar panel can charge the
batteries throughout the day. Ensure that the solar panel is not covered or shaded, e.g. by trees
or buildings.
• Ensure that the solar panel does not become blocked by snow or other deposits.
• The internal batteries are charged via solar power. A full charge takes up to 8 hours when the
light is placed in an area with good exposure to the sun.
