1.1 Features
1. Introduction
4. At factory setting, AE2 units turn on at dusk and off at dawn automatically (light photosensitivity is
around 30lx). In the evening, AE2 units operate at dim mode when no one is not around, and
increase light output immediately when motion is detected.
To avoid incorrect operation that may damage the unit, please read the following instructions
carefully before installing your AE2 solar lights.
1. AE2 units will not work without sunlight. Please choose the appropriate model according to
radiance or peak sun hours for the desired installation location. For areas with low sunlight or
prone to consecutive overcast days, AE2 units may not operate at their optimal levels or may not
turn on at all.
2. AE2 units should be installed with the solar panel facing the Equator for optimal performance and
durability.
5. All internal parts of AE2 are waterproof and rated IP65. Holes and slits on the luminaires are
designed for heat dissipation and drainage. Metal parts are made of anodized rustproof aluminum,
which withstands high temperatures and humid weather. However, it is recommended that you
avoid areas with heavy acid mist or salt influx. The strong structural design can withstand the wind
speed up to 180km/hr.
1.2 Safety and Usage precautions
EarthEquator
3. Make sure to clear trees, buildings and other shadows, or the internal battery will not charge
properly, causing low efficiency and short working time.
AE2 Series is the world’s first ‘All-In-One’ solar powered LED light. Fully integrated all of its
components and motion sensor within an attractive and compact design, AE2 not only saves more
energy but also improved light effeciency. By critically choosing advanced Li-ion battery and
corrosion resistant material, we created at least three times longer lifespan and extremely simple
way for installation solar street light compare with traditional one that equiped with lead acid
battery. AE2 redefined solar street light in both intension and extension.

Determine the pole’s position according to the max radiation and road condition. Confirm
installation height and distance by referring to AE2 specifications. LEADSUN recommends using a
steel pole with a diameter of 60-90mm and a thickness of more than 2mm.
Joint the bracket to the solar engine with 2pcs of M8×55 bolts by attached tools. (This step is only
needed for the models of AST45XX).
Joint the rear cover and bracket with 4pcs of M8×90 bolts, leaving space to easily mount the unit
onto the pole (Figure 2).
Mount the unit on the pole by fastening the M8 bolts. The torque wrench is 14N.m (Figure 3).

Symptoms
Troubleshooting steps
Process
1
No light at night
Check that the lamp can be manually
activated.
Refer to “Activation and Installation” section
on this user guide and run activation tests.
Check if the solar panel is blocked
from the sunlight by houses, trees and
other obstacles.
Clear obstructions or change installation
location.
Check if there is any artificial light
source(s) shining on the solar panel
during the night.
Remove the artificial light source(s) of
interference or change the installation
location.
Examine status of each component
based on the repair guide.
Replace the damaged component(s).
2
A serious shortage
of working time
Check if the solar panel is blocked
from the sunlight by houses, trees and
other obstacles.
Clear obstructions or change installation
location.
Check if the surface of the solar panel
is dusty or covered.
Clean the surface of solar panels as
detailed above.
Examine if the battery pack is
damaged as per the repair guide
instructions.
Replace damaged battery.
3
Lighting does not
follow the normal
operating mode of
turning on and off
Reprogram.
4
Lights fail to turn
on properly when
humans approach
Check if the air temperature close to
human body temperature.
When the air temperature is close to human
temperature, motion detection may slow
down. It will return to normal after the air
temperature changes.
Check if the installation height is too
high.
It is out of motion detection range when
installation height exceeds 8m. It is
recommended to reduce the height or use
other operating modes.
Replace damaged motion sensor or
controllers.
