HOW YOUR STAINLESS STEEL TIER™
SOLAR-POWERED L.E.D. LIGHTS WORK
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR LIGHT.

IMPORTANT:
The EPA Certified RBRC
®
Battery
Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)
battery contained in our product indicates The
Brinkmann Corporation is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle
these batteries at the end of their useful life,
when taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC
®
program provides a
convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd
batteries into the trash or the municipal waste
stream, which may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY™ for information
on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal
bans/restrictions in your area. The Brinkmann
Corporation’s involvement in this program is part
of our commitment to preserving our environment
and conserving our natural resources.
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight
into electricity and recharges the batteries. At
night, the light turns on automatically using the
electricity stored during that day.
The number of hours the light will stay on is
dependent on your geographical location, weather
conditions and seasonal lighting availability.
Solar lights do not receive as much direct
sunlight in winter months. Therefore, the
number of hours the light will stay on will be
reduced during winter.
BEFORE FIRST USE – Pull out to remove the clear plastic strip with orange
sticker in the light fixture to charge batteries.
Your new solar light’s rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries are fully charged and
ready for use. Install the solar light in direct sunlight. For optimum
performance, it is best to charge the solar light for a FULL, SUNNY DAY. The
light will turn on automatically at night. The Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries
provide increased brightness and stay on longer as they cycle over time
(days and nights of charging and discharging). The more direct sunlight that
the light receives during the day, the brighter and longer the light will stay on
at night.
The rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries must be allowed to fully charge to operate
properly. Partially charging the batteries on a consistent basis will drastically
reduce the life of the batteries.
