ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Unpack the components carefully. Please check all parts have been removed from the packaging.
Find an ideal Place for the Solar Light.
Place the solar light in an area where it will receive direct sunlight for at least 8 hours per day. The number of
hours the light will illuminate is directly proportional to the hours of sunlight it receives. If the light is placed
in a shaded area, it will not be able to fully charge and its illumination time will be limited. Do not place the
light near other outdoor lighting like porch or streetlights. These may fool the sensor and keep the light from
coming on, or cause it to turn off automatically
Note:
To increase stability and avoid the lighthouse toppling over in windy weather it could be filled with sand.
