same reason, regular AC and/or Low Voltage bulbs cannot be used in Gama Sonic

NOTE: If you are replacing an existing gas/electric post light, you must consult a
certified technician to cancel them before installation.
1. Solar Lamp 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
direct sunlight throughout the day. The solar light must be charged in full sun for
two days in the “ON” position for the best results.
NOTE: The following steps are for reference only. Consult your local hardware store
for the best installation method for your chosen surface.
2. Installation Instructions (Using Included Hardware)
1. Mark three holes using the template and drill the holes using a 0.5-
inch drill bit, into a solid surface no smaller than the anchor bolts. The
holes shall be lined up with the holes of the lamp base.
2. Put the anchor bolts into the drilled holes with their threaded ends
facing up (Fig. 1).
3. Place the lamp base onto the anchor bolts and secure base with the
provided nuts using a wrench (Fig. 2).
4. Make sure the lamp base is stable before proceeding with installation.

from the lamp (Fig. 6).
3. Unscrew the battery compartment’s screws located on the silver
reflector and remove the compartment doors.
4. Unclip the battery connectors and remove the old batteries. Make
sure the new batteries are high quality –Li-Ion Battery packs (3.2 Volt
/ 1500 mAh) with matching connector.
5. Install the new batteries into the battery compartments.
6. Reassemble the unit by reversing the above procedure.
Maintenance
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be careful not to put
too much pressure on the solar panels 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 lamp post is not being affected by any other
light source.
2. Ensure the solar lamp post is not positioned in the shade during the
day.
3. Make sure the switch on the lamp head is in either the Low or High
position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp post 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: For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will charge the
batteries much more efficiently.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children. Do not dispose of Li-Ion 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-Ion batteries or disposing of them in accordance with
local, State and federal regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries.
