NOTE: For best results, the solar lamp post must be charged for two sunny days in the “ ”
position.

NOTE: The wall mount has two different size holes on the arm,
make sure the fixture is attached to the side with the smaller hole.
The screw will go through the larger hole on the bottom, so it
will be hidden after installation.

Operation Instructions
Turn the switch on the lamp head to HIGH or LOW position.
LOW lasts longer using dimmer light, HIGH mode provides brighter light output.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year. It will deliver longer
duration when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.

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 is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar lamp is not positioned in the shade during the day.

WINTERTIME TIPS: For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel(s). Solar panels free of debris will charge the batteries much
more efficiently.
