Installation Guide & Support for Solar-Powered Lighting Fixtures
Step-by-Step Installation Guide:
1. Unpack and Prepare:
Start by carefully unpacking your solar-powered lighting fixture. Ensure all components, including mounting hardware and the fixture itself, are included.
2. Choose the Right Location:
Install your fixture in a location that receives direct sunlight throughout the day to ensure the solar panel charges properly.
3. Mount the Lighting Fixture:
Secure the lighting fixture according to the provided instructions. Most models are designed for easy installation, whether you’re wall mounting, using ground stakes, or other fixtures. Make sure the fixture is securely fastened to prevent damage from wind or weather.
4. Test the Light:
Once installed, the fixture will automatically operate based on sunlight exposure. To test during daylight, you can cover the integrated solar panel to simulate nighttime conditions and ensure it functions properly.
5. Adjust Settings (If Applicable):
Some of our solar-powered fixtures come with adjustable brightness levels or automatic dusk-to-dawn sensors. Set these to your preference for optimal performance.
Maintenance Tips:
Clean the Solar Panel Surface: Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the solar panel surface, reducing its ability to absorb sunlight. Regularly clean the solar panel with a damp cloth to ensure maximum efficiency.
Check for Obstructions: Ensure no objects or overhanging branches block sunlight from reaching the panel.
Inspect the Fixture: Periodically check the fixture for loose screws or any damage, especially after storms or strong winds.
Winter Care: If you live in areas with heavy snowfall or reduced sunlight during the winter, make sure to clear off any snow or debris from the panel to allow it to charge properly.
Troubleshooting Guide:
Light Not Turning On: Ensure the fixture is installed in an area that receives enough sunlight during the day. Cover the solar panel during the day to test if it turns on in dark conditions.
Light Dimming or Flickering: This may be due to low battery charge from insufficient sunlight. Clean the solar panel surface to ensure it’s charging efficiently.
Light Fails to Charge Properly: Check the panel for dirt or debris that may block sunlight. Ensure the fixture is positioned in a spot that receives ample sunlight throughout the day.
