PROBLEM SOLUTIONS
Where should the solar panel be mounted? Mount the solar panel in a position that will enable the most amount of light to be
absorbed. In the Northern Hemisphere this is usually south facing.
Does the solar panel require direct sun to charge? The solar panel can charge the internal battery pack in direct and indirect light.
For best results, try to optimize the solar panel’s sun exposure.
Can additional or extended cable wire for the solar panel be
purchased?
At this point there are no extensions available for the cable that connects the light to the
solar panel. Any additions to the cable will void the warranty.
What type of battery does the LED shed light require to operate? The LED shed light requires the use of a Ni-MH rechargeable AA battery pack
(made up of 3 batteries).
