Solid lighting mode
Most useful when you need light for a solid block of time, for example
illuminating an equestrian arena, riding school, sports field, tennis
courts, inside a warehouse or agricultural building etc.
Push the remote control
On/Off button to illuminate the light. Once
the light is on, you need to press either the Timer
1h or 2h buttons.
This will ensure the light stays on for 1 or 2 hours as you chose, but this
run time can be extended by pressing either
1h or 2h buttons to add
additional hours. It is advised that when you have no further need of
the light, you should turn it off, but if you leave it on it will auto turn off
once the light has reached the end of its timed mode.
Once you have turned the light off (or its timer function period has
elapsed), the light will not illuminate again until you turn it on using the
remote control.
There are two adjustments that can then be made if required:
a. With the light turned on, you can adjust the brightness. Scroll the
Brightness buttons up or down to select your preferred brightness.
b. If there are occasions when you want the light to be on before
it gets fully dark or you are using the Arena2 light indoors with
Supercharger Expansion Panel(s) located on the outside of a
building, press the
Day/Night Only button on the remote control –
this will allow the light to illuminate. This is not a permanent setting
so if you want the same function the following day you will need to
press the
Day/Night Only button again.
Note – any Arena2 remote control will operate any Arena2 light –
in other words if you have multiple Arena2 lights you only need take
one remote control to activate all.
The Arena2 remote control is not
compatible with Arena1 light.
6. Fixing Arena light – Before fixing read point 5
Wall mounting (Fig 4): Before starting to mount the Arena light to
the wall, separate the two halves of the bracket by removing (a) and
(b) fixings – see Fig 1. Remove the two metal spacers from the loose
half of the bracket. Using the supplied expansion bolts (if fixing to a
cavity or solid wall), or self tapping screws (not supplied) if fixing to a
timber wall, attach Arena light through the four holes in the back of
the loose half of the bracket. Once fixed in place, attach Arena light to
the bracket using fixings (a) and (b).
Pole mounting (Fig 5): Firstly, decide how to secure the pole,
which needs to be a standard scaffold pole or similar. This might be
by attaching to an existing post and rail fence or it might be free
standing. If free standing, the pole needs to be either cemented into
the ground (500mm min) or fixed using the quick release ground
mount plate that can be ordered from
www.solartechnology.co.uk.
To fix Arena light to the pole, loosely secure the U bolts (c) through
the four holes in the adjustment bracket, then slide the pole through
the U bolts and tighten so Arena light is firmly clamped to the pole.
Now position the pole in the ground.

5. Operation of the light
Before fitting the light in its final position push and hold the button
on the underside of the light (Fig. 2) for a few seconds until
the light comes on. It will stay illuminated
for a short while and will then
turn off but it confirms it is
ready for night time
operation. Should
you ever need to
store your Arena
light press the button
in (Fig. 2) and this will
switch the whole system off.
Operation for the first time: When Arena2 is turned On you will
notice the light is incredibly bright for 2 seconds and will then drop
back to its normal 1500lm maximum brightness level. From there you
can chose your preferred mode of operation. The reason this high
level of brightness cannot be sustained is because the Arena2 was
not designed for this level of brightness and constant use at that level
would cause damage to the internal components.
Lighting modes
Movement activation – PIR mode
Arena 2 can act as an excellent security light or utility light for car parks,
at festivals, construction sites, delivery yards and any location where
significant lighting is needed for periods when movement is within 10m
range of the Arena 2’s PIR detector.
Operation
Push the remote control
On/Off button to
illuminate the light. Note this is usually done
when it is dark but this can be advanced – see
point c. below.
The Arena2 is now in its PIR mode and will
show a low-level ambient light when there is no
movement and will step up to a brighter light
when movement is detected. The bright light
will remain on for 30 seconds or as long as there
is movement and will then step back down to
the ambient light level. Each evening (at dusk)
the PIR light will be active without the need to
use the remote control again unless you wish to
turn the light off or adjust any settings – see a, b
and c below.
There are three adjustments that can be made
if required by using the remote control:
a. With the light activated, you can adjust the brightness of the main
light following PIR activation. Scroll the
Brightness buttons up or
down to select your preferred brightness. The light will thereafter
illuminate at this level during every subsequent activation.
b. You can turn the ambient light off during dusk to dawn so there is
no light at all unless the PIR sensor is activated (particularly useful in
the winter months when there is a need to conserve as much energy
as possible). Press the
PIR Low Light button to off.
c. If there are occasions when you want the light to be on before it
gets fully dark, press the
Day/Night Only button on the remote
control – this will allow the light to illuminate even if its not dark.
This is not a permanent setting so if you want the same function the
following day you will need to press the
Day/Night Only button
again.
Note – If you have Arena2 in PIR mode and its main light is set to its
maximum brightness (a), or the ambient light is on (b), or the number
of activations is significantly increased, particularly in the winter
months, you may find the amount of power used is more than the
energy provided by its solar panel. The result will either be that the light
dims to a very low level (it will do this automatically to save energy)
or it runs out of power and will not operate the following night. In this
circumstance consider adding one or more Supercharger Expansion
solar panels – see section 10.
