About Your Solar Light

During the day, your solar panel will conver t the sun’s light and/or UV rays into electrical power that will
charge the rechargeable battery. When it becomes dark, the solar light will turn on using the power stored

Overview

in the rechargeable bat tery. The unit’s light-output strength and time depends on how much sunlight and/or
UV rays your panel has absorbed throughout the day.

For maximum output, place the solar panel in an area where there is direct sunlight for at least 8 hours per
day. Do not install your solar light in a shaded area. 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 turn off
prematurely.

Important

• Fully charge the battery before first use. Charge under direct sunlight for 2 days.

• For best results, locate your solar lamp in a position where it can get direct sunlight on the solar panel and
is generally free from cover and shade.

• Keep your solar lights away from other nighttime light sources, such as street lights.

• Make sure the solar panels are not covered by dust, snow and debris. Clean with a soft, damp cloth or
paper towel periodically. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning agents.

• Use only solar rechargeable AAA batteries for your solar lights. Replace with new batteries yearly for
optimum performance.

• If there is a protective film on the solar panel, carefully remove this.
