2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation of solar panel box
a) Choose a place where sunlight is unobstructed and abundant during daytime;
The solar panel box MUST be installed in a well-lit location where it can receive maximum
sunlight during daytime hours. Any cover that shades the panel will affect its ability absorb
sunlight and decrease the amount of power and duration of the flood light's operation. The
solar panel box is all weather –it will not be affected by exposure to rain, snow or temperature.
The selected location should not be near a night time light source such as porch lights, street
lights, etc., as these lights might prevent the solar PIR light from automatically turning on. The
solar panel can be positioned on a flat surface with the supplied wall mount unit.
b) Installation of wall mounting bracket
Fix the wall mounting bracket to an appropriate surface by using provided screws and drywall
anchors (Fig.1).
c) Put the solar panel box onto the wall mount bracket. For optimum performance the solar
panel box can be adjusted by using the joint (Fig.2). Make sure that the solar panel is directed
towards the sun for maximum charging.
2.2 Installation of flood light
a) Install the LED light where illumination is needed at night.
b) Mount the flood light by using the provided screws and drywall anchors (Fig.3).
c) Adjust the angle of sensor by using the joint.
d) Readjust the angle of flood light as needed.
2.3 Insert the wire's plug into the jack located on the bottom
of the solar panel box.
2.4 After installation is finished, turn ON the switch positioned

on the bottom of the solar panel box. Then the light installation
is finished and it will operate automatically.
3. OPERATION
There are three knobs used to adjust sensitivity,
lighting time and darkness level when the light will
come on
(Fig.4).
a) Sensitivity
The preset distance the light can be activated by
personal motion is about 5 meters. Turning the knob
clockwise will slightly increase the activation distance.
b) Lighting time
Adjustable lighting time is 1~4 minutes. It can be increased
by turning the knob clockwise to the 4 minute maximum.
c) Darkness
The ambient luminance when the light will be activated
by motion is about 20~50 lux. It can be slightly changed
by turning the darkness knob.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
The performance of the solar powered PIR light depends upon the amount of sunlight
available during daylight hours. If it does not operate properly you can check it and find out
the cause as listed below.
a）Make sure the solar panel box is located in an area where the solar panel gets the
maximum amount of sunlight every day.
b）If the weather has been rainy or overcast for a long period of time, the battery will not be
charged for operation at night. This is normal.
c）A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully charge. This will cause the light to
malfunction. Clean it regularly with a dampened cloth or paper towel. Don’t use strong
detergents or acid based cleaners.
d）If everything mentioned above is OK, the battery needs replacement.
5. BATTERY CHANGING
If your light begins to illuminate dimly or for shorter duration of time, you should replace the
rechargeable battery in the following way:
a）Remove the screws and remove the bottom of the battery box.
b）Remove 4 screws and remove two U-shaped plates which hold the battery.
c）Pull out the two terminals from the battery and take out the old battery.
d）Replace with a new battery and remount in reverse the steps above.
Warning: 1) Do it carefully to prevent wires from being damaged.
2) Be sure that the battery polarities are correct. Wrong polarity is dangerous.
3) Do not dispose of the old battery. It should be recycled.
