Correct positioning makes a big difference—especially through autumn and winter, read the following :
Before You Begin
Plan the location, prepare your tools, and install safely.
Location Planning
Face the solar panel south
Avoid shade from trees or buildings
Remember winter sun is lower
Check the mounting surface is solid
North-Facing Tips
Expect reduced winter charging
Use motion-only mode in winter
Angle panel to catch daylight
Keep the panel clean
Tools & Safety
Pencil and spirit level
Suitable screwdriver
Stable platform or ladder
Check for hidden cables
Installation Options
Choose fixings for a permanent mount, or adhesive for a quick setup.
Screw Mount
Mark the mounting points
Pre-drill if needed
Insert wall plugs
Secure bracket firmly
Make It Level
Use a spirit level
Tighten fixings evenly
Check alignment before fitting
Confirm panel faces daylight
Adhesive Mount
Clean the surface well
Ensure it is fully dry
Press firmly into place
Allow adhesive to cure
System Setup & Optimisation
Set the mode and test coverage to match your location and season.
Initial Setup
Remove panel protective film
Select the best mode
Set sensor sensitivity if needed
Test the light at dusk
Position & Aiming
Aim panel for maximum sunlight
Angle light heads as required
Avoid blocked sensor zones
Check for glare on surfaces
Final Checks
Confirm full coverage area
Walk-test the sensor range
Confirm mode behaves correctly
Reposition if charging is poor
Maintenance & Care
Simple upkeep keeps performance strong through every season.
Regular Maintenance
Wipe the panel monthly
Check mounting security
Clear the sensor area
Inspect seals occasionally
Seasonal Adjustments
Summer: choose any mode
Autumn: reduce brightness if needed
Winter: use motion-only mode
Angle panel for low sun
Best Practice
Keep panel free of debris
Avoid installing under eaves
Minimise nearby night lighting
Re-test after storms
Quick Troubleshooting
Try these checks first if the light isn’t performing as expected.
These solar powered lights are designed for easy, reliable outdoor lighting with minimal maintenance. Here’s how they work and what you need to know for best results year-round.
Daytime Charging
Solar panel collects sunlight and charges the internal battery during the day.
For best results, install the panel facing south (in the northern hemisphere), especially in winter when sunlight is limited.
Keep the panel clean and free from shade for maximum efficiency.
Automatic Night Operation
At dusk, the light automatically switches to standby mode.
Built-in motion sensor detects movement and activates the light when needed.
After a set time with no motion, the light returns to standby or turns off to save power.
Selectable Lighting Modes
Most models offer three modes, set by a button on the light or with a remote control:
Mode 1: Motion-activated full brightness, then off — recommended in winter, or if the panel faces north.
Mode 2: Dim light all night, full brightness with motion — works well in spring/autumn with good sunlight exposure.
Mode 3: Constant light (Flood light mode) — best for summer or very high sunlight conditions; may reduce battery runtime in shorter days.
Tip: Adjust mode seasonally for optimal performance and battery life.
Maintenance & Tips
Wipe the panel regularly to remove dust and debris.
Check the light’s position seasonally to ensure good sun exposure.
Test and adjust the motion sensor range if needed.
With correct placement, seasonal mode selection, and occasional cleaning, your lights will provide years of convenient, efficient illumination—no wiring or manual switching required.
