FUNCTION: The built-in solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. The rechargeable battery stores the energy and
converts the power into light for use during the night. The overall performance and illumination hours of the solar light
are largely dependent on the geographic location, weather and temperature conditions. Stronger and longer exposure
to direct sunlight will maximize the stored energy in the battery and provide longer lighting hours.
LOCATION: It is important to select an outdoor location with full, direct sunlight where the solar panel can receive at
least 8 hours of sunlight each day. Shady areas will not enable batteries to be fully charged. This will reduce the lighting
hours at night. It is also important to avoid placing the solar light by light sources, such as street lights or porch lights,
which may cause the solar light to turn off automatically. The solar light is designated for outdoor usage and ideal for
night lighting of garden, paths, etc.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: Please use a damp cloth to clean the solar panel. Do not use any chemical or
abrasive cleaner. It is important to ensure that no moisture enters into the solar light.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY: This product contains (2) IFR 18500J 1100 mAh(3.2V) Lithium rechargeable batteries.
When the battery expires, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Please contact your local waste disposal authority
for correct procedure. Do not expose battery to fire fire.

ASSEMBLY AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
220824
ASSEMBLY (Figure 1,2)
• Carefully remove your solar light from the box.
• Do not press on the surface of the solar panel because this can cause damage to
solar module.
Note: Please remove the clear mylar before using.
• Place the lamp base (F) on a flat, solid surface where you wish to ultimately mount
solar light. Using the lamp base (F) as a guide, mark your three set holes onto the
solid surface. Remove the lamp base (F) and at each of the marked locations, use a
1/2” drill bit to drill a hole that is approximately 2-1/4" in depth.
Caution: Make sure the location is flat otherwise the lamp will not be straight.
•Push the fastening screws into the drilled holes with their threaded ends facing up.
• Unscrew the hex nuts from the fastening screws using a wrench. Remove the hex
nuts, spring pads and metal pads from the fastening screws.
• Place the lamp base (F) onto fastening screws and secure it with the metal pads,
spring pads and hex nuts using a wrench.
• Make sure the lamp base (F) is stable before installing pole-1 (E).
• Place the pole-1 (E) to the lamp base (F) and tighten with provided set screws
using a Phillips screwdriver, then screw pole-2 (D) onto pole-1 (E) and pole-3 (C)
onto pole-2 (D) tightly.
• Install the finial (A) to the solar post lamp (B). Make sure all the lamp poles are
secure and tight, then place the solar post lamp (B) on pole-3 (C) and turn
clockwise until tight.
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Place the fixture in a location that gets full sun for at least 8 hours or longer of full
and direct sunlight to fully charge the batteries. Do not place near light sources
such as torch lights and street lights. The light may turn off or flicker.
• This fixture has a switch that can be found on the bottom of the dome and must be
moved to the "LOW" (75 lm) or "HIGH" (150 lm) position before working. (Figure 2)
CHANGING BATTERIES (Figure 3)
• Switch off the fixture.
• Turn the solar post lamp (B) upside down and remove four metal frame screws from
the metal frame (for later use).
• Unscrew four fix screws from dome (for later use), open the dome and remove the
old batteries. Make sure that the new batteries are lithium (1100 mAh/3.2V)
rechargeable. Install the new batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure the
batteries are placed with the correct polarity. Attach the battery compartment to the
dome and secure it with previous fix screws which were removed, then secure the
dome to the metal frame with previous metal frame screws.

Cover the solar panel to simulate darkness and LED should light up immediately.
Check the rechargeable battery has sufficient charge (normal battery can be used temporarily to test that rest of
light components are functioning properly when troubleshooting). The rechargeable battery needs at least a few
hours of daylight to recharge sufficiently.
Ensure the light is not in shade during the daytime.
Always keep the solar light distant from other night light sources, such as exterior lights. Reposition the light to
avoid close contact with other night light sources.
