1. Where should the solar panel be mounted?
2. Does the solar panel require direct sun to charge?
3. Can additional or extended cable wire for the solar panel be
purchased?
4. Why does the solar motion light appear to “strobe” or flash?
5. Will decorative or street lights have an effect on the motion
sensor’s ability to operate?
6. What type of battery does my solar motion light require to operate?
1. Mount your solar panel in a position that will enable the most amount of light to be absorbed (refer to Step 1 on page 2). In the Northern
Hemisphere this is usually south facing.
2. The solar panel will charge the internal batteries in direct and indirect light. For best results, try to optimize your solar panel’s sun exposure.
3. At this point there are no extensions available for the cable that connects the light to the solar panel. Any additions to the cable will void
the warranty.
4. A rapidly flashing light is caused by undercharged batteries. Turn the solar motion light’s switch to the “OFF” position and charge for two full
sunny days to bring the batteries to full charge. After two days, return the switch to the “AUTO” position.
5. Yes, the sensor of the solar motion light is light-sensitive. For nighttime usage, ensure no other light activates the motion sensor.
6. Your solar motion light requires the use of 3 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
