Product information

The Mirage series is the latest generation of high powered solar

area lights from M-Elec. With up to % brighter output and

an impressive lm/W eﬃcacy across the range, the Mirage

series features true LiFePO baery technology and advanced

PWM solar charging to deliver continuous shining performance

from dusk till dawn. The smart remote allows eﬀortless set up of

motion and dimming operation modes to maximise performance.

Mirage solar area lights also include a fully adjustable  x 

degree beam and slip ﬁt pole mount bracket making installation

fast and ﬁnal adjustments easy.

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION:

• The average full sun exposure period in the installation location should be above

. hrs per day in order to ensure a normal battery function.

• Always install the solar light in a position with the solar panel facing the equator

for charging optimisation (north in southern hemisphere).

• For best results, adjust tilt to at least  degrees for northern states and up to

 degrees for southern states.This helps with charging optimisation and self

cleaning.

• Ensure the angle of the solar panel is adjusted to capture the most sun and is

away from shade where possible.

Pre-installation notes

Pre-installation checks and tests

• Please conduct these tests and checks before mounting the solar light.

• Before installation, press the power switch and check that the red indicator light

within the sensor is illuminated. Place the solar light on a flat surface facing up

or cover the panel (to activate the night time mode) and check the light module

illuminates (normally within  minute).

• Before installation ensure the battery is charged.

• Ensure the pole or mounting surface you are installing the solar light on is suitable

for mounting the weight and wind effects on the solar light.

Solar area lights

1. Remove the light and bracket from the box.

2. Install the bracket onto the light and adjust the angle to suit the installation (

degrees recommended in instructions above).

3. Press the power switch and check that the red light on the sensor is illuminated.

If not, press the ON/OFF button on the remote control. If the indicator light is still

not on, use a charger to charge the solar lights inbuilt battery. We recommend a

DCV A (MAX) charger.

4. Use the supplied remote control to set the operation mode.The light module will

flash twice when receiving signal from the remote control. The default setting is

induction mode %-%.

5. Mount the solar light to the pole securely and adjust the LED module angle to suit

the installation.

Turn the light ON or OFF (when turned OFF solar charging is disabled).

2. Sync/test

To sync the remote control with the light, press and release the button. To test, press

it once. After  seconds of test mode, the light goes back to the previous mode.

3. Induction mode % - %

This mode allows a constant % brightness (from dusk to dawn) unless motion is

detected and then increases to % output for  seconds.

4. Induction mode % - %

This mode allows a constant % brightness (from dusk to dawn) unless motion is

detected and then increases to % brightness for  seconds.This mode increases

the run time of the light and is very helpful for areas with decreased charging time

frames.

brightness, the following  hrs is at % brightness, the following  hr is at %

brightness, the following 1hr is at % brightness, and then the final . hrs or until

dawn it is at % brightness.

6. Time control mode B
