ABOUT YOUR SOLAR POWERED METAL AND GLASS POST CAP LIGHTS

Your MAXSA Solar Powered Metal and Glass Post Cap Lights convert sunlight into
electricity during the day, enabling the 2 LED lights to turn on automatically at night.
These Post Cap Lights are perfect for lighting post tops, deck railings and fences to
provide illumination and help reduce falls and tripping. They are solar powered.
The included rechargeable batteries get powered each day by the sun to allow the
Post Cap Lights to illuminate your deck or fence at night.

Your Solar Powered Post Cap Lights can stay lit for up to 8 hours when the batteries are
fully charged by 8 hours of sunlight. The included sealed rechargeable 3.2V 200 mAh
AA Lithium-ion batteries should last for at least 2 years before they need to be replaced

INCLUDED PARTS:

2 Post Cap Lights with
Integrated Solar Panels

2 Adaptors for 6"x6" Posts

8 Screws

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Your MAXSA Solar Powered Metal and Glass Post Cap Lights are designed for 4 x 4-inch
fence and deck posts; an included adapter can be used to mount them on 6 x 6-inch
posts. The lights can also sit on a deck railing. Your Solar Powered Post Cap Lights come
complete with built-in solar panels and rechargeable batteries. For optimum sun exposure
and longer light output, place the Solar Post Cap Lights where they receive 6-8 hours of
direct sunlight per day. Placing the lights in a shaded location keeps the batteries from
charging fully and reduces the number of hours the lights operate each evening.

Each Solar Powered Post Cap Light is equipped with a power button and a light-sensitive
trigger to automatically turn the light on at dusk. For best performance, ensure that the
Post Cap Light is not placed near nighttime light sources such as porch lighting and
street lighting. To turn the light on, turn the light switch to the "ON" position. Your light will
automatically activate when it gets dark enough.

Turn the switch underneath the top of the

solar head to the “ON” position

MAINTENANCE

The LED lights in your Solar Post Cap Lights will last up to 30,000 hours and
should never need replacement.

Keep your Solar Post Cap Lights looking new by wiping them occasionally with a dry
cloth or with warm soapy water. Dirty solar panels prevent the batteries from charging
well, shorten the life of the batteries, and may cause the lights to malfunction.
