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,
landscape 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.
