HOW YOUR LEGACY™ & HAMPTON™
SOLAR-POWERED L.E.D. LIGHTS WORK
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR LIGHT.

Hampton
BEFORE FIRST USE – Pull out to remove the clear plastic strip
with orange sticker in the light fixture to charge battery.
Install your Legacy or Hampton solar lights in direct sunlight and charge for 10-
12 FULL, SUNNY DAYS. The lights will turn on automatically at night. Allow at
least 10-12 cycles (i.e., 10-12 days and nights of charging and discharging) for
the battery to charge to its full capacity.
The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery 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.
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 battery. 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.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect contents of the box to ensure all parts are included and undamaged.
Select a location with full, direct sunlight.
Shady locations will not allow the battery
to charge fully and will reduce the hours of
nighttime light.
NOTE: The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery
must be allowed to fully charge
to operate properly. Partially
charging the battery on a
consistent basis will drastically
reduce the life of the battery.
The selected location should not be near a
nighttime light source such as a porch
light or street light, as these might keep
the solar lights from automatically turning
on. The solar lights should not be placed
closer than 5 feet from one another. This
could cause the solar lights to flicker from
the adjacent light source.

stand sections, depending on the height
desired.
Step 2
Locate an area of solid ground where you
can place your solar lights and insert
ground stake.
Step or press down on ground stake to
aid in driving stake into ground. Make
sure ground stake is inserted all the way
into ground.
NOTE: Ground can be softened by soaking
area with water first.
Step 3
Once ground stake is firmly in place,
insert hanging hook into center hole of
ground stake.
Step 4
Hang light fixture from hanging hook.
The photocell light sensor should point
away from other nighttime light sources.
Step 5
Charge in direct sunlight for 10-12 FULL,
SUNNY DAYS. The light will turn on
automatically at night. Allow at least
10-12 cycles (i.e., 10-12 days and nights
of charging and discharging) for the
battery to charge to its full capacity.

It is important that the solar panel is kept free of dirt and debris. A dirty solar panel
will not allow the battery to fully charge. This will shorten the life of the battery and
cause the light to malfunction. Clean regularly with a dampened cloth or paper
towel.
Cleaning
Solar lights can be left outside year round, even in cold weather. However, if you
wish to store your light indoors for more than two or three days, follow these steps
to prevent damage to rechargeable batteries:
• Store at room temperature in a dry location.
• Store solar light where it can receive some sunlight or room light each day.
The battery needs light to maintain a charge during storage.
• During prolonged storage, units must be fully discharged and charged once
every month or remove batteries and replace with new Ni-Cd rechargeable
batteries when ready for use. Check and replace batteries periodically
throughout the year.
• Do not store solar lights in a box, or a dark room without a source of light on
the solar panel. This will damage the batteries and prevent their ability to hold
a charge.
• For best performance, do not store for prolonged periods.
Storage Tips
• Clean snow and debris off the solar panel to allow battery to recharge.
• Check and replace battery periodically throughout the year, especially after
winter months.
Wintertime
Tips
If your solar light does not turn on at night, it may be caused by one the following
conditions:
• Battery is not fully charged or needs replacement:
a. Make sure your light is located in an area where the solar panel gets the
maximum amount of full, direct sunlight every day. Allow sunlight to
recharge the battery for 10-12 FULL, SUNNY DAYS.
b. If the weather has been cloudy or overcast during the day, the battery will
not be recharged for operation at night. The solar light must have direct
sunlight every day to fully charge the battery. If the solar light does not
receive enough sunlight one day, it will recharge the next sunny day and
resume normal operation.
c. Check and replace the battery periodically throughout the year, especially
after winter months. Replacement batteries may be purchased from The
Brinkmann Corporation Customer Service Department by calling
1-800-468-5252.
• Other light sources: If your solar lights are located too close to a street light,
porch light or another solar light, it may not turn on automatically at night. The
built-in photocell light sensor is reacting to the other light source. Eliminate the
other light source or relocate your solar lights.
• Dirty solar panel: A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully charge.
This will shorten the life of the battery and cause the light to malfunction.
Clean regularly with a dampened cloth or paper towel.
After correcting the problem, check the light operation immediately after dark or in
a dark room. If the light will only operate for a short time, the battery needs
recharging.
