Gama Sonic’s NEW Morph Solar Panel Technology
is a groundbreaking process in the way we capture
more power from the sun. Our Morph technology
still uses monocrystalline solar panels. However,
instead of the standard limited sized solar panels,
our new technology allows the solar panels to
MORPH into the light fixture.
For optimum light duration
throughout the night, it is very
important to place your solar lamp
in a spot where it will receive
the maximum amount of direct
sunlight throughout the day.
NOTE: For best results, the solar
lamp post must be charged
for two sunny days in the “ON”
position.
WARNING: GAMA SONIC® Light bulbs are built and designed for Gama Sonic products only.
They are not designed to be used in other electrical sockets.
For the same reason, regular AC and/or Low Voltage bulbs cannot be used in Gama Sonic products.
Please read the instruction manual carefully to obtain the best results from your purchase.

Our GS-148 model features two (2) battery
compartments. This light comes with one (1) pre-
installed battery (included), and you have the OPTION to
add a second battery. This is a unique feature designed
to give you more choices to prolong the duration of your
solar light.
This unit requires direct sunlight exposure for more than
4 hours a day. Shorter exposure will NOT charge the
second battery and therefore it is not necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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 NOT on the” OFF” position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
5. Check that the GS Solar LED Light Bulb is 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: 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.
