PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION!
Time-controlled operation increases the life span of the battery. It is
recommended to use the time control functions, or to turn o the light
by the remote control if you do not need the lights to shine (e.g. at late
night or break of dawn).
If you keep your nger for 4 seconds on the ON signal, the light switches
to default mode (cold white light color, maximum power).
You can control 50 lights at the same time with the 2.4G remote control
in 25 m radius (considering no obstacles in the area, and sucient
charge in remote control’s batteries).
The batteries supplied for the remote control are recommended to be
changed for rechargeable batteries once they reach the end of their life
span. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: THE STAND-BY MODE OF THE REMOTE
CONTROL, AS WELL AS THE REGULAR USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
CONSUMES A DECENT AMOUNT OF ENERGY. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO
REMOVE THE BATTERIES FROM THE REMOTE-CONTROL UNIT ONCE
YOU CUSTOMIZED, AND SET UP YOUR LIGHT CORRECTLY, STORE THEM
SEPARATELY, AND ONLY PUT THEM BACK IN THE REMOTE CONTROL
WHEN YOU NEED THE REMOTE CONTROL!
The light blinks 2 times when it receives any of the time-controlled
operation commands.
It is recommended to reduce the power of the light in case of constantly
cloudy, rainy, overcast, cold weather days, if longer operation is needed
