Solar Lamp Post Location
For optimum light duration throughout the night, it is very important to mount your
solar lamp post in a spot where it will receive the maximum amount of sunlight
throughout the day.
NOTE: If you are replacing an existing gas/electric post light, you must consult a
certified technician to cancel them before installation.
NOTE: For best results, the solar lamp must be charged for two sunny days in
the “ON” position.
Operation Instructions
1. Detach the upper part of the lamp as shown in (Fig.1) by turning the
top counterclockwise.

desired setting high or low (low for longer duration). The Solar Lamp
will automatically operate at dusk.

(After several years of use, the batteries may need replacing).

Ma).
4. Install the new batteries into the battery compartment.
5. Reassemble the unit by reversing the above procedure.
NOTE: In your unit you're able to install two additional (3.2 Volt / 3000 Ma)
batteries this will improve the duration of the light on cloudy days when
fully charged but this will not affect the brightness.
WARNING: Do not dispose of Li-On battery in the regular trash, municipal waste
stream or by fire as batteries may leak or explode. Do not open, short circuit, or
mutilate batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our environment by recycling Li-On
batteries or disposing of them in accordance with local, State and federal
regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Maintenance
Clean the solar module regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance of the solar panel. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be
careful not to put too much pressure on the module while cleaning.
Trouble Shooting
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of all the
instructions, please try the following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar light is not being affected by any other light
source.
2. Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Make sure the switch in the lamp head is in the ”ON” position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar light will vary with the time of year. It will deliver
more light when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast
weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: Keep snow and debris cleaned off the solar panels so the
batteries can recharge. If the lights are covered with snow for an extended period of
time, after the snow melts, allow all the batteries to charge in full, direct sunlight for
at least 6 hours to their maximum capacity.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children.
