PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This low-cal operates from a battery charged from a solar panel. If the Lithium Ion battery voltage runs down to 3.6V, the light will automatically switch to ECO mode and dim down to reserve battery for a longer run fourth dimension. When the solar console has recharged the Lithium battery and voltage to a higher place 3.7V, the calorie-free will automatically switch back to AUTO fashion, and normal effulgence.

INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE

Of import: Clouds, rain, snow, and other weather condition weather may not allow the solar console to completely recharge the battery. Other obstructions such equally buildings or trees may cake the sun also.

When installing the solar panel, make sure it is aimed equally described beneath with a minimum corporeality of obstructions. Please mount the console facing toward the southern sky. An extended solar panel string is bachelor at Homedepot.com.

PRIOR TO USE, the battery will require 2 to three days of full, direct sunlight to completely accuse with the switch in the OFF position. Connect the solar panel cord plug with the connector extending from the bottom of the light housing. If possible, aim the solar panel toward the South and tilt it approximately 50° from horizontal. If the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the Due south, and then tilt the panel approximately 30°. Another choice is to add an extension cord (excluded in the parcel) available at Homedepot.com.
Actual operating fourth dimension will vary depending upon how frequently the light is turned on past the move sensor.
Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V lighting. The corporeality of low-cal output is reduced to allow the sun time to fully recharge the battery between lighting cycles.
Solar collection is merely effective in directly sunlight. Every hour the low-cal is on requires a minimum of six hours of sunlight charging.

MOUNTING LOCATION

The virtually important thing to remember for the operation of your solar powered move sensing light is that it works from the power received from direct sunlight. The solar panel works all-time when placed on the southern-facing portion, or the highest betoken, of a structure. The more direct sunlight the solar panel receives in a day, the longer the low-cal will operate.

SOLAR Calorie-free FIXTURE

The master unit contains the LEDs, a motion sensor, and a rechargeable Lithium battery. When deciding where to mountain this unit, keep in heed that the motion sensor that activates the lite has a "field of vision" of fifty ft. (15 m) in front of the low-cal and about 180° detection angle at a surrounding air temperature of 77°F (25°C).

SOLAR Console

The solar panel converts the lord's day'due south energy into electricity, thus charging the battery stored in the solar light fixture. The solar panel requires direct sunlight falling onto the face of the solar panel for as long as possible over the course of the day.
When choosing the location for the solar panel, brand sure it is aimed toward the South and is tilted to a suitable bending to let every bit much straight sunlight to autumn upon information technology equally possible. Make certain there is a minimum amount of obstructions betwixt the solar panel and the sun. Also, make sure your solar panel location is not too far away from the solar light fixture for the wires to accomplish and connect.

NOTE: At loftier noon, adjust the solar panel so that information technology faces the dominicus. During any time of year, this adjustment will provide optimal positioning for collecting solar energy.
You can besides bending the panel up by 45°, which should provide for adequate exposure.
