Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
Light fails to come on
in normal operate
mode
It may not be dark enough.
Cover solar panel and check if the light head
illuminates within 30 minutes.
Light comes on but is
very bright
The system has been reset. When initially
switched on, the light is going through its first
night learning curve. Leave 2-3 days until it
adapts to the conditions.
Light comes on but is
very dim
The energy captured during the daylight hours
was small, therefore the LED output is held low
for the night-time duration. Check after a few
days to confirm light output has increased.
Light comes on during
the daylight hours
Switch system from ‘ON’ to ‘OFF’ and back again.
Check light operates correctly.
Light comes at dusk
but does not stay on
for the night period
If the light is bright then the light may be going
through its “First Night” condition. Please leave
for 2-3 days and re-check the operation.
Communication with
the light fails
If the light is fully functioning then this indicates
a possible fault with the street light controller.
Change the switch
to ‘OFF’
mode then
‘
ON
’
mode
and re-check the communication.
