LITECHARGA TECHNOLOGY:
The Litecharga is a highly efficient solar light with high capacity LiFePO4 Lithium batteries and a fast charging Monocrystalline
solar panel. This means that even on partially cloudy and rainy days, it will re-charge efficiently. The high battery capacity gives
enough power for up to 23 hrs solid light (approx. 2-3 night) even when there is little light during the day. The high lumen light
output is bright enough to illuminate driveways and paths, making them safe to navigate at night.
INSTALLATION:
The Litecharga is designed to be mounted on a low wall, patio, wood or set in concrete (J-Bolts
–
sold separately) via the
internal surface mount.
Recommended spacing is 3m apart for substantial path lighting. Closer spacing / staggering will result in a more
intense light.
Location
–
It is important that the installation location is carefully considered, avoiding shady areas. Ensure there is no other
lights which could interfere with the light, imitating daylight and forcing the light off.
1.
To surface mount, remove the internal base from the bollard by unscrewing the 3 x cross
head screws at the bottom of the bollard tube, then lift off.
2.
Use the base to mark the mounting holes on the mounting surface.
3.
Remove the mounting plate and drill out the 3 holes marked at the relevant depth and
diameter for the mounting screws / wall plugs being used (varies based on mounting
surface)
–
Anchor bolts recommended.
4.
Secure the mounting base in place
–
large washers may be required.
5.
Replace the bollard body, lining up the 3 x holes at the base.
6.
Replace the 3 cross head screws removed in point one to secure in place.
For root mounting, use J-Bolts, set in concrete instead of anchor bolts (sold separately).
SETTINGS:
The Litecharga has a pre-set time controlled setting which cannot be changed.
At dusk, the
bollard will illuminate at full brightness, and then follow a gradual dimming sequence until it
reaches 30% brightness after 5 hours. From then on it will remain at 30% until dawn
.
This
sequence is to ensure maximum charge is retained.
IMPORTANT
–
SOLAR BOLLARD MUST BE TURNED ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER INSTALLATION
If the bollard is left in the off position, you may be prompted to turn the fitting on by strobing.
Solar bollard will only charge when in the ON position.
Turning on the bollard
1)
Remove the waterproof rubber bung located just below the polycarbonate lens, in line with the Lumena Logo, to locate
the red on/off button.
2)
Using a small, flathead screwdriver (or similar), push the on button inwards until it clicks and allow to pop back out
(this will be partial). The bollard is now in the ON position.
3)
Replace the waterproof, rubber bung.
NOTE:
There will be a 2-5 second delay between turning the solar light on, and the bollard illuminating. In daylight, the light
will turn back off within a few seconds, in darkness it will remain on and follow the time controlled cycle.
STORAGE:
When storing the bollard, be sure to turn the bollard to the off position by following the above steps (check by covering and
uncovering the solar panel). Once pressed, the on/off button will release fully forward. Maximum 6 months storage when fully
charged
–
recharge will be required periodically to prevent damage to battery over long periods of time.
