SOLAR SPOT LIGHT LOCATION
1. Place the solar spot light in a position where the sun shines directly on
the solar panel free from any obstacles and shade.
2. It is recommended to have the solar panel at a 45 degree angle
toward the south in North America to absorb maximum sun energy
during the day.
3. Make sure the solar panel is not going to be affected by any other
light source at night. Otherwise the light will not illuminate after dusk.

MAINTENANCE:
Clean the solar panel 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 affected by any shade during the day.
3. Make sure the light is in the ‘ON’ position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
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 of direct 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. 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.
