3 Summary
The lamp is simple and intuitive to use. When the lamp gets enough sunlight, it can get by completely without
additional power. You will always have a high quality light source available when you need it. If you only use the
lamp indoors, or if there is insufficient sunlight, then you can also charge the battery via the USB port. For this
purpose, any commercially available charger of a smartphone can be used (microUSB plug). Since this is rarely
needed with a self-sufficient lamp, it would be superfluous and would only land in the garbage. We only offer it on
request. In our shop, you can buy a matching, high-quality charging set.
4 safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and pay particular attention to the safety instructions. If you
do not follow the safety instructions and the instructions for proper handling in this operating manual,
we assume no liability for the resulting personal injury / property damage. In addition, the warranty /

The control is also possible with the app via smartphone or tablet.
Please read the instructions for the app, or the help text.
Charging the battery - solar operation
If possible, place the light in direct sunlight. The more intense and the longer the solar film is exposed to sunlight,
the more power will be available later for the lighting. Therefore you should not cover the light under any
circumstances. In the shade, only about half the energy of the sun comes on, so the solar light can convert even half
of the energy into electricity.
In direct sunlight, the energy of about 1,000-1,300 W / m hits the solar screen in Central Europe, while in southern

Manual .STOOL solar lights
.stool
Page 7
Europe it is already over 2,000 W / m. In the shade it is 200 - 500 W / m, in the house it is only 10-200 W / m,
because windows very strongly keep the radiation away.
The times for lighting duration / charging are related to 1,000 W / m.
Charging the Battery - Battery Operation
As an alternative to solar operation, you can also charge the battery via the USB port (cable: Micro-USB - USB-A).
Any commercially available USB charger of a mobile phone / tablet can be used for this (can also be ordered as an
accessory at https://shop.stool-living.de) which complies with the standard (voltage 5V, charging current 0.5 to 1.5
A).
Charging time with empty battery with 0.5 A = 10-12 hours. With a fully charged battery, the table lamp can be
operated at full brightness for over 10 hours (candlelight> 30 hours).
The batteries used are„industrial batteries“ that use Li-ion technology. They are very durable batteries, which are
indicated with about 1,000 charging cycles. A charge cycle is a complete discharge and charge. If the batteries are
operated in the range between 30 and 70% charge, significantly more charging cycles are possible.
If the lighting time / charging power decreases noticeably, the batteries should be replaced. This occurs after about
3 to 5 years. The replacement can be done by our specialist workshop. Specialized users can do it on their own
responsibility, it is essential to pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries! Replacement batteries can be
purchased in our shop (buy only from trusted source, it will be traded many inferior batteries, which can lead to
damage/injury).
With the opening of the seal warranty and warranty expire).
Place your .STOOL solar lamp so that it stands as long as possible during the day in full sunshine, so that it can
charge itself optimally.
In the shade, only 10-50% of the radiation arrive. Behind a window, the radiation is also significantly lower and
decreases considerably in the room.

Place the .STOOL solar light in the direct sun for a long time, so that it can ll up with a lot of energy.
In the shade, the energy density is much lower (10 - 50%), therefore the reduced
Yield also considerably!
But even on a covered / shady day, the light„refueled“ for the evening.

9 care instructions
The entire lamp is designed for a long outdoor use. The materials have been specially selected and tested. The solar
screen consists of a very durable PET film. Disconnect the device from the mains voltage before cleaning.
The frame parts are made of stainless metals (stainless steel or brass / coating, care see below) for protection here
is also a special paint has been applied. Do not use any sharp cleaning agents. Do not clean the lamp with a high-
pressurejet.DonotimmersethelampunderwaterThelampisnotsuitableforcleaninginthedishwasher.Useadry,
fiber-free cloth to clean the product. If heavily soiled, use a cloth lightly moistened with lukewarm water.
stainless steel | Edelstahl
The stainless steel used in your light is provided with a protective varnish. This prevents an environmental
discoloration of the metal. With the years and especially with intensive use, this protective film can be replaced.
This is no damage, but the stainless steel may discolour. If you do not like the change, you can use a commercially
available budget (stainless steel care products) to wipe off the discoloration. Please test in a hidden place before, if
the agent attacks the solar foil. Then you should not use the remedy and choose another one.
brass | Messing
The brass used with your lamp is provided with a protective varnish. This prevents the known start of the metal. With
the years and especially with intensive use, this protective film can be replaced. This is no damage, but the brass can
discolor. If you do not like the change, you can use a commercial budget (brass polish) to wipe off the discoloration.
Please test in a hidden place before, if the agent attacks the solar foil. Then you should not use the remedy and
choose another one. Some parts are provided with a brass coating. Very aggressive environmental influences can
lead to discoloration.
