LITECHARGA TECHNOLOGY:
The Litecharga is a highly efficient solar light with high capacity LiFePO4 Lithium batteries and a fast charging Monocrystalline
solar panel. This means that even on cloudy and rainy days, it will re-charge efficiently. The high battery capacity gives enough
power for up to 23 hrs solid light (approx. 2-3 night) even when there is little light during the day. The high lumen light output is
bright enough to illuminate driveways and paths, making them safe to navigate at night.
INSTALLATION:
The Litecharga is designed to be mounted on a low wall, patio, wood or set in concrete (J-Bolts –sold separately) via the
internal surface mount.
Recommended spacing is 3m apart for substantial path lighting. Closer spacing / staggering will result in a more
intense light.
Location –It is important that the installation location is carefully considered, avoiding shady areas. Ensure there is no other
lights which could interfere with the dusk to dawn sensors, located in the solar panel, imitating daylight.
1. To surface mount, remove the internal base from the bollard by unscrewing the 3 x cross
head screws at the bottom of the bollard tube, then lift off.
2. Use the base to mark the mounting holes on the mounting surface.
3. Remove the mounting plate and drill out the 3 holes marked (12mm if using anchor bolts
supplied), at least 70mm depth (anchor bolt sleeve = 60mm). Alternative mounting screws
may be required depending on the surface –adjust drilling size accordingly).
4. Insert anchor bolts with sleeve (head down / thread pointing upwards). Then place internal
mounting base over the top. NOTE: bolts may need to be knocked in fully with a
hammer / mallet –be careful not to damage the thread. If too tight, attach to
base with nut first (step 5) and knock into position after.
5. Add the large washers and the spring washer on each bolt and secure in place with nut by
hand.
6. Tighten the nut fully with a spanner to expand the bolts and hold in place securely.
7. Replace the bollard body, lining up the 3 x holes at the base.
8. Replace the 3 cross head screws removed in point one to secure in place.
SETTINGS:
The Litecharga has a single time controlled setting. At dusk, the bollard will illuminate at full brightness for 6 hours. For the
following 6 hours, or until dawn, the bollard light output will reduce to approximately 50% to ensure maximum charge is
retained.
IMPORTANT –SOLAR BOLLARD MUST BE TURNED ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER INSTALLATION
If the bollard is left in the off position, you will be prompted to turn the fitting on by strobing.
Solar bollard will only charge when in the ON position.
Turning on the bollard
1) Remove the waterproof rubber bung located just below the polycarbonate lens, in line with the Lumena Logo, to locate
the red on/off button.
2) Using a small, flathead screwdriver (or similar), push the on button inwards until it clicks and allow to pop back out
(this will be partial). The bollard is now in the ON position.
3) Replace the waterproof, rubber bung.
NOTE: There will be a 2-5 second delay between turning the solar light on, and the bollard illuminating. In daylight, the light
will turn back off within a few seconds, in darkness it will remain on and follow the time controlled cycle.
STORAGE:
When storing the bollard, be sure to turn the bollard to the off position by following the above steps. Once pressed, the on/off
button will release fully forward. Max 6 month storage when fully charged –recharge will be required periodically to prevent
damage to battery over long periods of time.
