TRENTO
Murano blends modern technology with centuries old
skill of hand blowing glass. Each unique glass globe contains
luminescent crystals which, once dark, give a wonderful glow
but when you add in a super bright LED bulb powered by our
state of the art solar cell, the effect is truly wondrous. Once
dark both Aqua and Midnight globes appear to magically
fl oat in the air. Terra is a great twist on the Murano theme
– still made from heavy duty glass, the globe has an
attractive “crazed” appearance. Sunset, like Terra,
has a “crazed” appearance and at night, its multi-
coloured bulb glides through green to blue to amber.
MURANO
Venetian is an ideal light for many
areas of the garden. Constructed from
the best materials, Venetian delivers a
beautiful glow if more subdued lighting
is required. It uses a single NIMH,
AA rechargeable battery (supplied)
which gives long term performance of
approximately two years and can be
easily replaced. The right choice for
accent lighting.

How Torino solar garden light works
During the day the solar panel on the top the Torino garden light converts sunlight and daylight into
electricity which in turns recharges its internal battery. At dusk, the Light Emitting Diode (LED) turns
on automatically and will be powered for up to 6 hours by the battery. The Torino garden light comes
complete with a pre-installed solar rechargeable battery. This should be replaced when the charging
ability is decreased and should last for approximately two years.
Choosing a location for the Torino solar garden light
The location, weather conditions and the seasons will affect the number of hours the LED is
illuminated for. Ideally the Torino solar garden light should receive 8 hours of full sunlight, which
will enable it to illuminate for up to 6 hours. If the Torino light is placed in a shaded location
the battery will not charge fully, reducing the hours of night-time illumination.
How to assemble the Torino solar garden light
Insert the ground spike into the post and push the
spike into the ground. Loosen hard packed ground
first otherwise damage may occur to the post or spike.
Then push the lamp head onto the post.
First time use of the Torino solar garden light
Twist the stainless steel lamp head from the glass lens in an anti clockwise direction to separate the
two pieces. Ensure the switch, located under the solar panel, is in the OFF position and locate Torino
outside in the desired location. Leave it turned OFF for two days to allow the solar cell to fully charge
the battery. Once the light has been in the sun for a few days sufficient energy will have been stored
in its battery. After this period turn the switch to the ON position.
At dusk the Torino will then switch ON automatically and will burn for as long as there is power in its
battery and then it will switch OFF, ready to be charged up (by its solar cell) the following day ready
for illumination the next evening.
Torino incorporates Solar Mate’s unique SmartTime Technology. This is a built in timer that allows
Torino to switch on automatically at dusk but then will be limited to a maximum burn time of 6
hours. The benefit of this is that it ensures a more consistent nightly burn time.
Tips for using the Torino solar garden light
• Do not place the Torino garden light near night time light sources such as street lights or flood
lights as this may cause the lights to turn off at night.
• To prolong the life of the Torino solar garden light and reduce the risk of corrosion, install away
from salty, corrosive or highly fertilised areas.
• Ensure that you do not scratch the surface of the solar panel and ensure that you keep the
surface free of dust and debris at all times.
• The LED in the Torino garden light is not replaceable and should never be tampered with.
• To clean the solar garden light, wipe over using a soft, damp cloth.
• If the evening burn time of Torino starts to decrease you can re-set the battery by switching
OFF for a couple of days and then turning ON again.
Note - Torino will only illuminate when the switch is in the ON position. Whether the switch is ON
or OFF the solar cell will continue to charge the internal battery. When the switch is ON, the bulb
will only illuminate when it is dusk or dark. A test can be made by taking the light into a
dark room.
Replacing the battery in Torino solar garden light
1. Remove the lamp from the ground.
2. Twist the glass lens from the lamp head and the battery can be accessed via the removable hatch.
3. Remove the battery and replace with a new rechargeable battery of the same type.
