Charging: Charge in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours.
Location: Choose location with minimum 6-8 hours sunlight. When choosing a spot for your solar
light, ensure that the device is not placed near nighttime light sources such as porch lighting or
street lighting.
Dusk To Dawn: The light will not activate during daylight hours. At sundown the light will go on
automatically and last approximately 6-8 hours
Cleaning solar panels: It is important that dirt and debris is kept off of the solar panel to the greatest
extent possible. A dirty solar panel will not fully charge the battery and thus shorten the battery life.
Battery replacement: Generally speaking, the rechargeable battery should be replaced every two
years in order to maintain the maximum capacity. Please refer to the specs for max charge cycles.
Note: Run times and lighting performance will vary depending upon sunlight and weather conditions.
CAUTIONS: BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS
● Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery by ordering the replacement battery part
number found in the Parts Description page.
● Ensure the batteries are installed correctly.
● Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time.
For recycling and disposal of batteries to protect the environment, please check the internet or your
