100 LED Solar Lights Instructions 8793
NOTE – THESE LED LIGHTS WILL ALL LOOK CLEAR IN COLOUR UNTIL THEY ARE SWITCHED ON.
THEN THE COLOUR YOU HAVE ORDERED WILL SHOW.
INSTRUCTIONS
• IMPORTANT! Before first use, switch off and allow the solar panel to charge in full sunlight for three days. This will maximise
and prolong battery life.
• LED lights give up to 100,000 hours of light.
• Batteries inside the lamps recharge using solar energy during the day and light up using this stored energy after dark.
• The lights will automatically illuminate and turn off depending on the level of natural lighting.
• As with any rechargeable battery, the period of time that the battery will hold charge will decrease during the life of the
battery. All batteries have a finite number of charge cycles. If the item is not to be used for an extended period, it is
recommended that the unit is switched off to preserve the batteries. Remove the batteries and store separately.
• If the lamp is not in use for a prolonged period, it is recommended that the lamps be charged and then discharged fully once
a month.
• To check operation, simply cover completely or go to a dark place. If the solar panel is operating correctly the light should
illuminate.
• Before storage, wipe clean, allow to dry and store indoors.
• In winter or periods of bad weather, light levels can be very low and sometimes the lamps will appear dimmer than when
fully charged. This does not constitute a faulty product.
• If the item is covered in snow, this will block out the light and they will need to be recharged in full sun again.
PARTS LIST
➀ 1 x electronic control box with LED strand
➁ 1 x ground tube
➂ 1 x pointed ground stake
➃ 1 x wall mounting bracket
➄ 1 x wall mounting fixings
ASSEMBLY – ground mounted
• Insert the ground tube onto the back of the control box.
• Always push the pointed ground stake into the ground BEFORE placing the control box on top. This will avoid any damage to
the solar panel, particularly if the ground is hard.
ASSEMBLY – wall mounted
• If wall mounting, you may have to provide different fixings to those supplied, dependant on wall surface to ensure a secure
and safe fixing.

NOTES FOR SITING
• Place away from other sources of light, i.e. street lights, as this light may prevent the daylight sensor operating correctly.
• Ensure that the item is not placed in a shady position as this will prevent the batteries from charging correctly.
• Weather conditions and season will affect how much the battery is able to charge during the day.
OPERATION
• There are two switches on the back. One is ON/OFF and one is MODE/AUTO.
• If the switch is in the OFF position the solar panel will still charge the battery, but the lights will not operate at nightfall.
• Press the switches to AUTO and ON. In a few seconds, the lights will then cycle through 8 different light styles with approximately 10
seconds per style and will then repeat.
1. all lights on
2. fast twinkling
3. slow twinkling
4. slow flashing one after the other
5. slow flashing one after the other in reverse direction
6. fast flashing
7. fast flashing one after the other in one direction and then in reverse direction
8. off
• Press the switch to AUTO and the user is able to select the style from the above list for the lights to operate continuously. When your
desired style is reached in the cycle above, press the switch to MODE. This will then retain your choice of style until at any time the
power switch is turned to OFF. Turn the power switch to OFF and repeat to change your choice of style.
MAINTENANCE
• Clean with a soft damp cloth.
• Do NOT use abrasives or solvents.
• Do NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the solar marker housing other than to replace the rechargeable battery.
• Clean regularly as a build up of dirt on the solar panel will reduce performance.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
• Requires 1x AA Ni-MH 900MAH rechargeable battery.
• Turn the switch to OFF.
• Unscrew the 4 screws and remove the bottom plate from the control box very carefully as internal wires will still be joining the two
pieces – take care not to pull hard as the connection will break.
• Observe correct polarity when inserting replacement battery.
• Replace the top section of the control box and replace the screws
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local authority guidelines.
