Booster Panel
Eclipse 24W Solar Light & Booster Panel
SPECIFICATION
INTRODUCTION
• Solar powered lights do not work without sunlight. Position light so that the solar panel is in an unshaded postition.
In areas that are short of light or after continuous days of rain, the Eclipse may only charge enough to provide the
main light as the courtesy light ceases to function when the battery level drops below 40%
• The Eclipse should be mounted in an area free of trees and shade so maximum sunlight can fall on to the panel
• The Eclipse solar light is designed to work perfectly using the integral solar panel, provided that the panel is oriented
towards the sun
• If your desired location restrics this, there is an optional extra panel and battery pack
• The Eclipse Solar Booster Panel is designed for the Winter months and areas that do not get a lot
of direct sunlight to charge the Eclipse Area Light
• The Booster Panel is made of the same high quality casing as the light and incorporates an additional
7.4V 4400mAh battery which doubles the runtime up to 20 hours on low mode 20% power or 14 hours with 20
triggers at full power
• The Booster Panel can be mounted either back to back with the Eclipse Light on a pole or separately
whichever is best to get maximum sunlight

INSTALLATION
Parts included with each light tting:
1 x Eclipse 24W Solar Light
1 x Wall / Pipe Bracket
1 x Mounting Kit
• It is very important that the 2 connecting cables are attached to the light with the correct matching colour codes,
failure to do so may result in damage to the unit
• It is important that the Eclipse light tting is mounted on a pole or wall that places it in direct sunlight
• The recommended mounting height is 4-6m
• Please open the package and ensure all the part are complete
• Before installing the Eclipse, turn unit on and place the light on the ground with the solar panel facing
down and check to see that the unit illuminates to its low-light or courtesy light level. Sweep your hand
over the sensor and check the light increases it’s brightness to 100% power and stays on for a period
of time (30seconds) before returning to courtesy light. Once satised install the light
• The Eclipse is designed to be tted directly onto poles of diering sizes or, using half of the bracket, directly
onto a wall
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The battery operation is digitally controlled by the built-in micro-processor and this programme ensures that as the
battery power is depleted, the tting will still operate in an ecient manner. The following table demonstrates how the
battery will perform as the % of power reduces.
100% - 60% Battery
Power
60% - 40% Battery
Power > 40% Battery Power
Full Light (PR) YES - 30 secs exposure YES - 30 secs exposure YES - 30 secs exposure
Courtesy Light YES YES NO
CLEANING THE SOLAR PANEL
Although no part of the Eclipse requires maintanence, routine cleaning of the solar panel will allow it to perform at peak
capacity. In winter, keep snow and ice from building up on the solar panel so the battery charges properly.
LIGHT DOES NOT OPERATE AT
If the Eclipse does not operate at dusk, despite observing the instructions of this manual, please try the following:
• Ensure the solar panel is not shaded or otherwise obstructed during the day
• Ensure the ON/OFF switch has been activated (i.e. In the ‘ON’ position)
