ABOUT YOUR SOLAR LIGHT
During the day your solar panel will convert the sun's light and/or
UV rays into electrical power that will charge the rechargeable
battery. When it becomes dark, the solar light will turn on using
the power stored on the rechargeable battery as it will detect no
daylight. The units light output strength and time depends on how
many hours and how much sunlight and/or UV rays your panel
absorbs throughout the day.
For maximum output place the solar panel in an area where there
is direct sunlight for at least 8 hours in a given day. Do not install
your solar light in a shaded area. The selected location should not
be near night time light sources such as: porch lights, street lights
or pool lights as these may cause the solar light to turn off
prematurely.
IMPORTANT
•Fully charge the battery before first use.
•For best results, locate your solar lamp in a position where it
can get direct sunlight on the solar panel and generally free
from cover and shade.
•Keep your solar lights away from other night-time light
sources, such as streetlights.
•Make sure the solar panels are not covered by dust, snow and
debris. Clean it with a soft damp cloth or paper towel
periodically. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning agents.
•Use only rechargeable batteries for your solar lights. Replace
with a new battery of the same size each year for optimum
performance.
