and potential injury.
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 gardens, paths, etc.
