Mounting HolesLamp
The solar panel produces electricity
in the presence of sunlight. The amount
of electricity produced increases as the
sunlight becomes stronger. Less power is
produced in less sunlight, but the panel will
generate electricity even on cloudy days.
This product includes a NiCd 6V
rechargeable battery to store energy
created during the day for use in the light
at other times.
The security light uses a bright,
energy efcient LED light which operates
when the motion detector observes motion
up to 25 feet away.
The range and direction of the
motion detector may be adjusted to cover
a small area, such as an entryway or a
large area, such as a yard.
Mounting the Solar Panel:
Select a location for the solar panel 1.
that will allow sufcient sunlight to
charge the battery.
The Solar Panel (1) is attached to 2.
the Panel Base (2). Using the screws
provided attach the Panel Base to an
appropriate location.
NOTE: The location selected must be
able to support the weight of the
solar panel, and any additional stress
that may be placed on it by wind,
etc. Installation may damage roong
material.
CAUTION: Whenever drilling holes or
mounting screws check to be sure
that no wires, pipes or other utilities

are in the path of the holes or screws.
CAUTION: This is a rigid solar panel which
may be damaged by bending or
twisting. Be sure to locate this solar

panel in a way that it is protected from
damage.
The Solar Panel can rotate on the 3.
Panel Base. Adjust the solar panel to
maximize its exposure to sunlight.
Mounting the Sensor/Lamp
Base:
Measure the distance between 1.
the mounting holes on the back of
the Sensor/Lamp Base. Mark this
distance on the surface where the
lamp will be mounted. The Sensor/
Lamp Base uses “keyhole” slots for
the mounting screws. Install provided
screws at the marked locations and
mount the Sensor/Lamp Base on the
screws.
Run the Cord from the Solar Panel to 2.
the Sensor/Lamp Base. Secure the
Cord so it will not be pulled loose or
damaged.

OPERATION
This device captures electrical
energy from sunlight and stores it in a
rechargeable battery. The motion sensor
will detect motion, and will cause the
security light to come ON. You have
several adjustments available to suit this
device to your particular needs.
On the back of the Sensor/Lamp 1.
Base there is a function switch. Select
between OFF or AUTO. When in the
OFF position, the security light will
stay off. In the AUTO position, the
light will come on only if the darkness
level is less than the selected level
and the motion sensor detects motion.
There are three knobs on the 2.
underside of the Sensor.
The “Darkness” knob sets the level
of darkness required for the unit
to operate, as long as the function
switch is in the AUTO position. The
range is from 0 Lux ( total darkness)
to 10,000 Lux (moderate indoor
daylight).
The “Time” knob lets you set the
duration of time the light will remain
on after being triggered. The range
is from 3 seconds minimum to 45
seconds maximum.
The “Sensitivity” knob lets you
adjust the distance that is covered
by the motion detector. You can also
adjust the position of the Sensor to
control its area of coverage.
NOTE: As the ambient temperature rises
above 98° F. the effective range of the
motion detector will be reduced.
MAINTENANCE
Protect this device from damage or 1.
excess exposure to rain, sun and
wind.
Occasionally clean the solar panel 2.
surface, Lamp and Sensor with
a clean soft cloth. Do not use
detergents or solvents for cleaning.
Occasionally check the Socket and 3.
Plug to be sure there is a good
connection.
When the lamp no longer illuminates, 4.
even after receiving sufcient sunlight,
the battery needs to be replaced.
NiCd batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. To remove
the battery, remove all screws at back
of the Sensor/Lamp Base (same side
where the OFF/AUTO switch is), open
the cover, and replace the battery.
Reassemble in the reverse order of
assembly.
Both the Sensor and the Lamp may 3.
be adjusted. Loosen the mounting
screws on each, adjust the position,
and retighten the mounting screws.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery
be charged for at least 14 hours of
daylight before rst use of the light.
