Be sure to remove all contents from packaging and verify
all items are present before assembling this light fixture.
This package includes the following items:
InStaLLatIOn
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet (2.4
m) above the ground. For best solar collection, mount the
solar panel on a southern facing surface. Note: If fixture is
mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down
will reduce coverage distance.

Mount Solar Panel.
Allow for enough wire to reach
the battery case. Attach triangular base to a solid
surface using three tapered screws.
IMPORTANT:
Caulk around the base and on top of the tapered
screw heads after installation.
Note: See Initial Battery Charge and illustration on
next page for solar panel setup information.

the solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to
charge the battery. Clouds, rain, snow, and other
weather conditions may not allow the solar panel
to completely recharge the battery. Other obstruc-
tions such as buildings or trees may block the sun
as well.
When installing the solar panel, make sure it is
aimed as described below with a minimum amount
of obstructions. If possible, mount the panel facing
toward the southern sky.
•
PrIOr tO uSE, the battery will require 3 to 7 days
of full sun to completely charge with the On-tIME
switch in the OFF position.
Plug the solar panel cable
into the bottom of the battery case. If possible, aim the
solar panel toward the south and tilt it approximately
50° from horizontal (see illustration on next page). If
the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the south, then
tilt the panel approximately 30° if possible.
• To verify battery is charged, slide the ON-TIME switch
to TEST. Wait 2 minutes for sensor to warm up. If light
comes on when motion is detected after warm up pe-
riod, battery is charged and ready for use. If light does
not come on, slide the ON-TIME to OFF. Recheck the
light the next day.
• Actual operating time will vary depending upon how
frequently the light is turned on by the motion sensor
and amount of sunlight collected.
• Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V
lighting. The amount of light output is reduced to allow
the sun time to fully recharge the battery between
lighting cycles.
