Congratulations. You have purchased a motion activated solar floodlight.
This light is constructed of durable plastic and will provide years of trouble free
and weatherproof service.
HOW IT WORKS
During the daylight hours, the solar panel turns the sunlight
into energy that is stored in the rechargeable battery. Your
light features a motion sensor that turns the light ON at
night when motion is detected. This light is equipped with
a photocell, which only allows the fixture to turn ON during
the nighttime hours.
WHAT YOU NEED
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat head screwdriver
WHATʼS INCLUDED
• Light fixture (A)
• Solar Panel (B)
• 15 Watt, 6 Volt G4 bi-pin
Halogen bulb (C)
• (5) Mounting Screws (D)
WHAT TO KNOW
PLEASE READ THESE I PORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY
TO PERSONS:
Lighted lamp is HOT!
To Reduce Risk of Fires or Injury to Persons, Read and Follow
these Instructions:
• For outdoor use only.
• Turn off and allow to cool before replacing bulb.
• Bulb gets HOT quickly! Contact switch only when turning on.
• Do not touch hot lens, guard, or enclosure.
• Keep away from flammable objects. Do not position fixture
within one inch of any combustible materials.
• Never touch the bulb with your bare hands, as oil from your skin can cause
premature failure. Always handle the bulb with gloves or a soft cloth.
• Do not operate the luminaire fitting with a missing or damaged shield.

• Fixture is suitable for wall mount only. NOT suitable for ground
mount installation.
• Use only the following type and size batteries: Sealed Lead Acid 6 volt
battery. Make sure that replacement battery is same size as current battery.
Replacement batteries are available at most hardware home center stores.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. t may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
• Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only
in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the batteries and battery
charger/compartment.
• Disassembly of your fixture will void the warranty.
• Do not cut the solar panel wire. Discontinue use if the wire becomes frayed
or broken.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Locate solar panel in an area that will receive the maximum amount of
sunlight during the daylight hours.
• Allow fixture to receive four full days of sunlight before turning fixture ON.
• nstall your fixture 8-12 feet above ground (motion detector is less sensitive
above 12 feet.
• Locate fixture so motion moves across detection zone (Fig. 1).
• Locate fixture away from heat producing sources
to prevent false triggering. Also be very careful
not to include objects such as windows, white walls
and water in the detection zone whenever possible.
• Locate fixture away from moving objects such as
trees and street traffic.
• You will need to adjust the angle of the solar panel
throughout the year as seasons change in order to keep it at the best
possible angle to the sun.
• Keep solar panel clear of any objects that will block the sunlight. t will be
necessary to periodically clean the solar panel with soft wet cloth.
• During periods of several cloudy days, the battery will become discharged
and will need to be recharged with sunlight.
Note: When battery is low, light may cycle on and off repeatedly. Turn off
fixture until fully recharged.

INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE BULBS
Note: Disconnect power and allow fixture to cool before removing burned-out bulbs.
Note: Your fixture is supplied with a 15 Watt, 6 Volt G4 bi-pin halogen bulb.
Always replace with the same or lower wattage bulb. Replacing with a higher
wattage bulb will reduce battery life.
Note: Never touch bulb with bare hands as oil from your skin
can cause premature failure (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: When replacing bulb in fixture, always
replace with the same wattage bulb or a lower wattage
bulb. DO NOT replace with a bulb of greater wattage
than specified on the fixture. To do so could create a
fire hazard and / or shorten the life of the bulb.
1. Before replacing bulb, turn fixture to the OFF position.
2. nsert flat head screwdriver in slot at end of lamp
compartment and carefully pry lens out (Fig. 3).
3. Bulb will be extremely hot if touched while bulb is burning
or immediately after bulb is off.
4. Allow bulb to cool before touching. DO NOT touch bulb
with bare hands.
5. Grasp bulb and gently pull out of socket.
6. Replace bulb by lining up the pins of the bulb to the holes in the socket and
gently pressing down.
7. Replace lens by lining up the notches at the bottom of the lens with the notches
on the bottom of the lamp compartment and then gently pressing in at the top
until it snaps into place.
8. Turn fixture back to the ON position.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Your fixture is supplied with a 15 watt halogen bulb, which is shipped in the
lamp compartment of the fixture. The lamp must be installed before use. Please
see “Installing or Replacing the Bulbs”
section of the instruction sheet for installation instructions.
1. Locate area in which you would like to install your light fixture.
Note: For fixture to operate properly, the solar panel must be
located in an area that will receive the maximum amount of sunlight
and is free from obstructions.
2. Using two of the mounting screws provided, mount fixture to a
solid surface 8-12 feet above the ground, by placing the
screws through the holes on either side of the fixture (Fig. 4).
Adjust sensor head so that control switches are facing the
ground. Remove label from the front of the sensor head.
3. Using three of the mounting screws provided, mount solar
panel to a solid surface (Fig. 5). Adjust the angle of the solar
panel so that it will receive the maximum amount of direct
sunlight possible during the daylight hours.

The solar panel can be mounted up to 16 feet away from
the light fixture.
4. Carefully route the wire from the solar panel to the fixture
and plug it into the connector extending from the bottom
of the fixture housing. (For now, keep fixture in the
OFF position) (Fig. 6).
5. Allow fixture to receive four full days of sunlight
before turning fixture to the ON position.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIXTURE
1. After fixture has received four full days of, sunlight, slide the ON/OFF switch on
the bottom of the housing to the ON position (Fig. 6).
Note: Fixture has a warm up period of about one minute. Light may turn on during
this period. Once the light turns off, you are ready to test.
2. Move slide switch on the bottom of the sensor to “TEST”.
Set sensitivity knob to medium (halfway) (Fig. 7).
3. Aim sensor toward the general direction that motion will be
coming from. Maintain at least 1˝ of clearance between
sensor head and lamps. Always position the sensor head
with control switches facing toward the ground.
4. Walk through the detection zone at the farthest
distance you want your detector to detect motion.
5. Adjust the SENS T V TY knob until you get desired results.
For more range, aim sensor slightly upward. For less range, aim
sensor head slightly downward. Lights will turn off 4 seconds after
motion stops.
Note: Allow five seconds after light turns off before your next test.
6. Move slide switch to “AUTO”. Light will turn on at night when motion
is detected and turn off 30 seconds after motion stops.
PROPER BATTERY CARE
Note: Under normal conditions, the included battery should work for two years.
Proper care should ensure the longest possible life for your battery.
• Make sure that your solar panel is located in a sunny location.
• Allow the solar panel to collect sunlight (charge the battery) for four days
before switching the fixture ON.
• Any of the following behaviors are an indication of low charge on your battery.
Switch the fixture OFF and allow the battery four sunny days to recharge the
battery before turning the fixture back ON. A series of cloudy days may
drain your battery. Proper recharging will prolong battery life.
• When motion is detected (in AUTO mode), fixture turns on but then off after
1-3 seconds.
• When motion is detected (in AUTO mode), fixture turns on but then
flashes periodically.
• When the length of the lighting time (30 seconds) becomes noticeably shorter.
• When the fixture's brightness is noticeably dimmer.

FLOODLIGHT CO ES ON FOR
NO APPARENT REASON AT
NIGHT
s there motion in the detection zone?
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects
such as trees, traffic, etc.
