8. Use eye protection. Wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles when setting up
this product.
9. Maintain products with care. Keep the Solar Powered Security Light clean for better
and safer performance. Inspect the Light periodically. If damaged, have it repaired
by a qualified technician.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. If a ladder is to be
used during installation, it should be supported by an assistant.
11. Do not set up the Solar Powered Security Light if under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgement or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not set up the
Light.
12. NiCd battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not short, incinerate or
open the battery.
13. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
14. The warnings, precautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be

Set-up before use
Read the entire important safety information section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before setting up or use of this product.
Installation
1. Decide where you want to place the Lamp and the Solar Panel. The Solar Panel is
equipped with a 16ft. connecting wire, so the Lamp and Solar Panel can be
installed up to 16ft. apart. The Solar Panel must be set in a location that receives
full, direct sunlight, a minimum of eight hours a day. Ideally, the solar panel should
be angled slightly toward the north.
2. Mount the Solar Panel:
a) Place the Solar Panel in the desired location, adjusting the unit to best fit the
surface.
b) Mark the hole locations of the Base, then set the Solar Panel aside.
c) Check that the marked areas are clear of obstacles such as cables and
electrical lines. Drill holes for the enclosed Screws and Plastic Anchors.
d) Insert the plastic Anchors then secure the Solar Panel in place with the screws.
3. Mount the Lamp:
a) Locate the unit six to eight feet above the ground on a solid surface capable of
supporting the Lamp and secure enough so that it will not move when
exposed to vibrations or wind. The unit must be high enough to allow for
motion detection and light distribution.
b) Mark the hole locations of the Mounting Bracket, then set the Lamp aside.
c) Check that the marked areas are clear of obstacles such as cables and
electrical lines. Drill holes for the enclosed Screws.
d) Secure the Lamp in place with the screws.
4. Carefully route the Power Cord of the Solar Panel to the Lamp and plug it into the
Battery Housing Outlet on the back of the Battery Housing.
5. Loosen the Detector Angle Lock, swivel the Motion Detector Head so that it faces
the area where the movement will occur and tighten the Detector Angle Lock.
INSTALLATION
Note:
For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to Parts
List and Diagram on page 10.

Read the entire important safety information section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Initial Battery Charging
Before the Security Light can operate properly, the batteries need to be fully charged. To
charge the batteries:
1. Turn OFF the Power Switch.
2. Allow 3 days of full sunlight to fully charge the batteries.
3. After charging, turn the Power Switch Auto. The light will illuminate for a short time
when first switched on. This indicates that it is working properly.
Power Switch
The Power Switch, located under the Battery Housing of the Lamp has three settings:
OFF: Centre position.
ON: Towards the Lamp. The lamp stays on functioning as a normal light.
AUTO: Away from the Lamp. The light will turn on automatically when motion is detected by
the Motion Sensor Head.
OPERATION
WARNING: The Unit will not function unless:
The Solar panel is first charged for 3 days of full sun with the sensor off.

Motion Detector Control Knobs
The Solar Powered Security Light has 3 different Control Knobs on the underside of the
Motion Detector Head. They control the Motion Detector Head’s sensor. They are sensitive
to light (LUX), the light’s duration (TIME) and the sensor’s sensitivity to motion (SENS).
Note:
After each adjustment, walk the detection area to check the adjustment just made.

LUX (Light Level)
The LUX Adjusting Knob (9) tells the sensor the level of darkness that must be reached
before the Light turns on.
Lowest Setting:
If the dial is turned towards the moon icon, the sensor will only
trigger when it’s dark. This is usually the best position for general
evening and night operation.
Maximum Setting:
If the dial is turned towards the sun icon, the light will turn on in
most situations ranging from dusk to daylight.
Note:
If the Security Light is not operating at night due to interference from a streetlight or
other interference, turn the LUX knob towards the maximum setting ( ). Adjust the
dial as needed between the minimum and maximum settings to achieve the desired
level of sensitivity.
Adjust the light level
that activates the light

TIME (Light Duration)
The TIME Adjusting Knob (11) sets how long the light stays lit after motion is no longer
detected by the sensor.
The TIME is adjustable from 5 seconds to 2 minutes.
Minimum Position:
Turn the dial counter-clockwise to the minimum for the light to stay
on for 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
Mid-Range:
Adjusting the dial between the Minimum and Maximum to choose
any time between 5 seconds and 2 minutes for the light to stay on
after motion is no longer detected.
Maximum Position:
Turn the dial clockwise to the maximum for the light to stay on for 2
minutes after motion is no longer detected.
Adjust how long the
light stays on

SENS (Sensitivity)
The SENS Adjusting Knob (10) sets the level of sensitivity of the Motion Detector Head.
The Motion Detector Head is most sensitive to movement across the detection zone, rather
than movement toward or away from the Motion Detector Head (6).
Movement is best detected at a distance of 40 feet or less.
Sensitivity is affected by the ambient air temperature. If it is hot outside, the sensor has
difficulty detecting changes in heat. In cold temperatures, the sensitivity is increased and
may need to be adjusted.
Minimum Position:
Rotate the dial to the “-” indicator to decrease the sensor distance
Maximum Position:
Rotate the dial to the “+” indicator to increase the sensor distance
Adjust Sensitivity
(For small or large
moving objects)

Testing the Light
After the battery is charged and the control Knobs are set, walk slowly around the detection
area. The sensor detects infrared radiation given off by a person or animal. This triggers the
light to turn on. The Light should go on in the area that you set up the Security Light to
monitor. Adjust the Knobs and sensor and re-test until the unit functions as desired. Repeat
the test procedure as needed when there are weather and/or temperature changes.
Note:
Turn the dial anywhere between the minimum and maximum settings to adjust the
level of sensitivity, as needed.

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified
technician.
Warning:
To prevent serious injury, do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise occurs, have
the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodically, inspect the general condition of the item. Check for:
•Leaking, swollen or cracked battery pack
•Loose hardware
•Misalignment or binding of parts
•Cracked or broken parts
•Any other issue that may affect safe operation
If there are any issues with the device, contact Kogan.com support.
