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.
Mode 2: Dim light all night, full brightness with motion.
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 and occasional cleaning, your lights will provide years of convenient, automatic illumination—no wiring or manual switching required.
