1.How your Solar Powered Fixture works
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity
and recharges the battery. At night, the light turns on
automatically using the electricity stored during the day.
The number of hours the light stays on depends on your geographical
location, weather conditions and seasonal sunlight availability.
Shadowed locations will not allow the battery to charge fully and
will reduce the hour of nighttime lighting. The selected location
should not be near nighttime light sources, such as porch lights,
street lights or pool lights, as these may cause the solar light to
flicker or turn off prematurely.
2. Installation:
- Carefully pull the glass head out from the metal body, remove the
pull-tab from the battery holder.
- In order to save the space, the earth spike was packed inside of
the metal body. Push the earth spike inward to let it come out from
the metal body.
- Insert the earth spike at the bottom of the metal body as the
picture right.
- Carefully place the glass head on the top of the metal body.
- Position the solar light where it can receive direct sunshine for
about 8 hours each day.
- Push the earth spike carefully into the ground, if the ground is
hard, make a hole first to avoid damaging.
- The solar light won’t very bright or long lasting until a full
day’s sunshine has been received.
- Avoid other light sources which may cause solar light to flicker on
and off. Shadow locations will not allow the battery to charge
fully and will reduce the hours of lighting.
3. Maintenance:
- If the top of glass gets dirty, the charging capacity will be
reduced. Clean the top of glass with a soft damp cloth ----- avoid
harsh detergents as it may damage the surface of solar glass.
- Battery may need to be replaced after 1-2 years, depending on the
conditions it has had to endure. The battery (AA) can be replaced
with a 1.2V rechargeable battery of same or larger capacity (mAh).
- Due to longer daylight hours and generally sunnier skies from late
spring to early fall, the duration of light will be longer during
this time than months with shorter days and cloudier weather.
- Low winter light levels or harsh weather in your location may lead
you to store your solar light indoor until the conditions improved.
If so, clean and dry the light, remove the battery, store in a dry
place, and reassemble in spring as description in “installation”.
4. Battery replacement:
Note: This operation should be done in the morning on a sunny day;
this will allow the solar panel to receive a full 8 hours of
sunshine, so that the rechargeable battery can reach maximum
capacity.
- The battery is housed under the glass head.
- Remove the earth spike and metal body, remove the battery door.
- Remove the old battery and replace with a new AA size 1.2V
rechargeable battery.
- Assemble the battery door, connect the metal body and earth spike.
5. Troubleshooting
If the light does not work at dusk after 8 hours of charging:
- Ensure that the battery door is assembled tight and connect with
battery well.
- Ensure that the glass head is in a bright sunny location and not in
a shady area during the day.
- Other lighting can cause turning off or flickering in a solar
light.
- Check the battery in case it needs replacing: see “Battery
replacement” above.
