Solar Lamp Pre-Installation Guidelines

amount of sunlight throughout the day.
2. For best results, the solar lamp must be charged for two sunny days in the
“ON” position (by choosing your desired brightness level).
3. If you are replacing an existing gas/electric post light, you must consult a
certified technician to cancel them before installation.

LOW setting and 36 hours in the HIGH setting once all
batteries have been fully charged in the direct sun for +-3
days.
(After 2 ½ -3 years, the batteries will need to be replaced.)

by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Make sure the operation switch is in the OFF position.
3. Release the battery compartment screws located on
the silver reflector and remove the old battery packs

Batteries.
4. Install the new batteries into the battery
compartment.
5. Reassemble the unit by reversing the above procedure.
WARNING: Do not dispose of Li-Ion batteries 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.
Maintenance

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.

source (i.e street lights).
2. Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the day.

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.
