01 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Sunlike 50W Urban Lighting Products.
Introduction
The high-performance Sunlike 50W is a municipal-grade solar outdoor
lighting system that provides bright off-grid light. This heavy-duty com-
mercial dedicated series is ideal for highways, city streets, large parking
lots, and area lighting. It comes in a wide choice of configurations, lighting
outputs, and recommended pole heights. The Sunlike 50W is optimized
to provide years of bright, reliable light. Industry-leading efficiency, dense
batteries, and advanced controls to guarantee the highest possible
off-grid autonomy.
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) layer 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.

03 Luminous Distribution
Sunlike 50W Type III 1. The LiFePO4-battery-powered Sunlike 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:
> Slow red light flashing (Every 2.5s) = Working
> Slow red flashing (Every 5s)= Open circurt
> Red light continuously on = Non-working
> Quick red flashing (Every 0.5s)= Charge fault
> Quick red flashing (Every 0.1s)= Over current or Short circurt
Storage
To avoid over discharge of the battery during storage, please recharge
the lighting fixture every 4 months. Use the dedicated charger to charge,
reset the switch when done.

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery
Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of
the Sunlike 50W 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 percentage
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%.
ATTENTION
DO NOT recommend replace
battery pack on your own. Please
conntact SOLTECH for any
battery’s questions.

05 Installation and Wiring Compliance
1. Installation and wiring must comply with the State and National
Electrical Codes.
2. The Sunlike 50W models are intended for outdoor use only
and should not be installed in an unventilated area, and shall be
installed in an environment within the operational temperatures
defined for the product.
3. The average sunshine in the installation area should be above
3.5 hours/day in order to ensure full function of the lighting fixture.
Avoid areas with shades.
4. Before installation, if applicable, please ensure the light pole and its
foundation are solid enough to withstand the lighting fixture(s).
5. Before installation, please ensure that the battery is fully charged. Install
during sunny days if possible.
6. Before installation, please press the ON/OFF key in the remote
control and check whether it shows a red light on the indicator.
Please cover the panel and check if the light module turns on normally
within 1 minute.
After Installation
The lighting fixture will automatically turn on at night and turn off
during daylight.
Important
Always orient the solar panel facing the equator (e.g. facing south if in
northern hemisphere).
Always have a tilt angle of at least 15° to avoid dust accumulation
(0°=horizontal plane).

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.
Strong sunlight Nromal sunlight Less sunlight
Key
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 a 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 that way.

hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50%
brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 4 hours, 100% brightness
for 1 hour (turn off at Dawn).
Important
Dust and dawn time may be diffrent in other locations and seasons.
The sensors of our products will follow the light patterns of where it is
installed. The time period shown in the chart above is just an example
to help you understand the different lighting modes only.
