ABOUT THE SOLAR SWIRL SCOPE
Your MAXSA Solar Swirl Scope converts sunlight to electricity to charge batteries during the day, enabling the super
bright LEDs to turn on automatically at night to light up your home, garden, or landscape.
Your Solar Swirl Scope can light for up to 12 hours when the battery is fully charged. The 3.2V 1000mAh LiFePO4
18500 rechargeable battery included with this product should last for years before it needs to be replaced.

CHOOSING A SUITABLE LOCATION
1. Determine what you want to illuminate and the width of the area you wish to illuminate.
2. The Solar Swirl Scope projects light at a 105° angle. Here is a table to help you determine how far away to
place your light so the illumination covers the entire desired area:
Distance (ft) Spread (ft)
513
10 26
20 52
30 78
40 104
3. The Solar Swirl Scope also needs to be placed somewhere where the solar panel has clear access to the
southern sky and can receive 7-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If the light is in the shade or in the shadow
of an object, the light may not charge properly during the day.
4. Finally, the Solar Swirl Scope is equipped with a light-sensitive trigger to automatically turn the light on at dusk.
For best performance, ensure the Solar Swirl Scope is not placed near nighttime light sources such as porch
lighting and street lighting, which may prevent the Swirl Scope from activating.
5. Once you have determined a good location for your Solar Swirl Scope, stake the light into the ground. Point
the bulb of the Solar Swirl Scope towards the area you wish to illuminate and adjust the solar panel to face the
Southern sky so the panel receives maximum sun exposure.
BEFORE THE FIRST TIME USE OF YOUR SOLAR SWIRL SCOPE
Let the Solar Swirl Scope charge with the switch in the OFF position for three days in direct sunlight. This will ensure
the battery has a full charge prior to normal operation.
OPERATING YOUR SOLAR SWIRL SCOPE
1. If you want your Solar Swirl Scope to produce white light at night, move
the switch right of center. If you want your Solar Swirl Scope to produce
multi-colored light at night, move the switch left of center.
2. Cover the solar panel so the LEDs activate. Once activated, if they are
stationary, press the button and they will start to rotate. If you want them
stationary again, just press the button again. Decide on which setting
you want and press the button to reach the desired setting.
3. Your Solar Swirl Scope is ready!
STORAGE
If you wish to store the light indoors for more than two or three days, move the switch to the center to turn the light
OFF to prevent battery damage. When you are ready to place the Solar Swirl Scope back outside, be sure to repeat the
steps in the “Before the First Time Use of Your Solar Swirl Scope” section on page 2.
MAINTENANCE
The LED lights in your Solar Swirl Scope will last up to 30,000 hours and should never need to be replaced.
To keep your Solar Swirl Scope looking new and the colors looking sharp, keep the clear plastic globe and solar panel
free of dust and deposits by wiping occasionally with a dry cloth or warm, soapy water if necessary. A dirty solar panel
will not allow the battery to fully charge and this will shorten the life of the battery and may cause the light malfunction.
