Adjust Light Settings
Floodlight and Spotlight operate with three settings: high, medium,
and low.
Click the on/off button to cycle through each setting.
1. Click the button once for high
2. Click twice for medium
3. Click three times for low.
NOTE: Each click must be performed within 5 seconds of the
previous click in order to progress to the next setting. Wait 5
seconds and click a second time on any of the above settings to
turn the light off.
NOTE: If the Torch overheats, the lights will dim in order to cool it
down. If this occurs, you may continue to use the Torch as is.
WARNING: Do not leave the Torch in the window of a vehicle in the
hot sun. This can cause damage to the product.
Q: How do I know if the solar panel is working?
A: You’ll know the solar panel is working when
the blue LED indicator lights turn on and start
blinking. Angle the solar panel toward the sun
for the best charging experience.
PRO TIP: Leave your Torch 500 in a windowsill
so it’s always charged and ready to go.
