01 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing CEGONIA Urban Lighting Products.
Introduction
CEGONIA combine stylish design with hight efficiency. You can adjust both
the tilt angle and the azimuth to make sure the panel is in the optimal
position to capture the sun’s energy. It is a perfect fit for courtyards, parks,
schools, communities and paths.
Important
In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery during storage, please
fully recharge your battery every 4 months. Please make sure that the
light is installed in an area with sufficient sunlight irradiance. A strict
minimum of 3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended. Se-
lect the right operating mode according to the local legislation needs and
the local sunshine conditions. Keep it away from shadows. Self-cleaning
available when the light fixture have minimum angle of 15 degrees.
Please save these instructions. Read all of the instructions carefully
before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring. Do not open or
attempt to repair the product on your own, as it many cause serious
damage and would void the product warranty. Contact your local
distributor for any questions concerning the installation.
Range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20–26 feet
(6–8 meters). The ideal installation spacing is >16 feet(5 meters). When
installing two or more lighting fixtures on one pole, select desired
operating mode before installation. Interference can cause delay or
malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes
after installation.
Precautions when working with solar panels
When the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, a voltage appears at the
output terminals of the solar panel turning it into a source of electricity.
To avoid a shock hazard, make sure the solar panel is covered with an
opaque (dark) later such as paper or cloth during the installation. Do not
make contact with the terminals when the panel is exposed to sunlight or
any other light source.

1. The LiFePO4-battery-powered CEGONIA lights are visibly brighter
than other outdoor solar lights, and their performance overall is
more reliable.
2. To charge the battery fully may take up 6 to 12 hours.
3. Output will be reduced to 40% when the battery is below 40% of
its capacity.
4. Battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is below
32°F or above 149°F.
Battery Status is indicated by the red/green indicator on the lighting
fixture as follows:
- Red indicator (Charging)
> Slow red light flashing = Charging
> Red light continuously on = fully charged
> Quick red flashing = charge fault
- Green indicator (not charging)
> Green light continuously on = more than 40% of the battery
capacity remaining
> Slow green light flashing = battery capacity below 10%
> Quick green light flashing = battery below 0% mode—Protect
battery does not over discharging
Storage
To avoid over discharge of the battery during storage, please recharge
the lighting fixture every 3 months. Use the dedicated charger to charge,
reset the switch when done.
Battery Replacement
1. Disconnect the
wire connectors.
2. Loose the screws of the
battey pack and take out
the battey pack.
3. Replace a new one.
4.Tighten the screws of
battery pack.
5. Connect the wire connectors
(Be sure you match the color

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery
Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy
of the CEGONIA under shady trees, heavy
rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now
integrate an adaptive smart control feature
to actively track battery capacity and adjust
light output accordingly. Before integrating
this feature, selecting a light output percent-
age on the remote would yield an accurate
percentage of max LED brightness. Now with
(IAP), the controller actively monitors the
battery and regulates the electrical current
to the LEDs. The controller makes light output
of the selected percentage on the remote
relative to battery capacity rather than max
LED output. This smart-control feature can
increase our off-grid performance by up
to 40%.

The Solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever, the off–grid
system relies on stored daylight for autonomy. Angling your solar
panels properly can boost the power intake of your lights. You want
to angle your solar panels at a tilt equal to the area’s latitude.
Tip
You can increase the tilt 15° in the winter or decrease 15° in the summer.
In this way you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battrey bank.

OKOK
The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes
prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West
& East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still
collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but
it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean that
the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.

08 Remote Control Guide
16ft–33ft
The range of the remote control to the
indicator is 16ft (Day time) to 33ft (Night
time). Because the sunlight will impact
the signal of the remote control, we recom-
mend that users setup the mode before
they install the light.
1. On/Off
When off is selected, the light will stop working. The solar panel will not
charge the battery and the battery will not supply electricity to the light.
2. Connect/Test
Remote control device can be connected with any lighting fixture, one
at a time. To connect, press the button once. It also functions as a test
button. To test, press the “Test” button once, the red light will indicate
the fixture is charging, green light indicates that the fixture is operating.
Testing lasts for 10 seconds, and then it goes back to the mode previously
in use.

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the CEGONIA under shady
trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate
an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capac-
ity and adjust light output accordingly. Prior to including this feature,
selecting a light output percentage on the remote determined the
constant percentage of max LED brightness. Now with (IAP),
the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical
current to the LEDs. The controller now applies the selected percentage
output on the remote to the battery capacity, rather than the max LED
output. This smart-control feature can increase our off-grid performance
by up to 40%.
5. Night Owl Mode
Changes as natural light decreases/increases (turns on at dusk); 70%
brightness for 0.5 hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness
for 1 hour, 50% brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 5 hours
(turns off at Dawn).
6. Early Bird Mode
Changes as natural light decreases/increases with increased brightness
near dawn for early risers (turns on at dusk); 70% brightness for 0.5
hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50%
brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 4 hours, 100% brightness
