Installation & Placement

Where is the best place to install my solar wall light?

The light performs optimally when installed in locations that receive direct sunlight. While it can function with indirect light, for best performance, choose a spot that gets good sun exposure throughout the day. The light can be easily mounted using the included wall brackets and screws, or attached to metal surfaces using its built-in magnet. For installation, you'll need a 6mm drill bit for the bracket mounting.

What area does the light cover?

At its maximum setting of 1000 lumens, the light effectively illuminates approximately 10-12 square meters. This makes it perfect for patios, entranceways, garages, walkways and more.

How to install my solar wall lights?

Before You Begin:

Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unpack your solar wall light and ensure all components are present, including the light fixture, mounting clip ( located at the back of the wall light), magnet, screws, and user manual.

Choose Your Location: Select a location that receives ample sunlight during the day. Avoid shaded areas, as this will limit the light's charging capacity. Consider the area you want to illuminate and ensure the light will be positioned to provide adequate coverage.

Installation Process:

Mark the Holes: Hold the wall light against the wall in your chosen location and mark the screw holes with a pencil. Use a level to ensure the light will be mounted straight.

Drilling: For easier screw installation and to prevent cracking the wall, drill small pilot holes at the marked locations. Use a 6mm drill bit for the screws provided.

Attach the Mounting Plate. Attach the plate to the wall using the screws.

Secure the Light: Carefully align the wall light fixture with the screw holes and slide the wall light into place. 

Successful installation: You have now successfully installed your Solar Wall Light with Motion Sensor! 

Charge the Light: Place the solar light in a sunny location for a full day (at least 6-8 hours) to fully charge the battery. This ensures optimal performance from the start

Performance & Features

How long does the battery last between charges?

The high-capacity 2000mAh battery provides impressive runtime depending on your chosen mode:

  1. Mode 1 (250 lumens): Up to 36 hours
  2. Mode 2 (100 lumens + motion sensing): Up to 50 hours
  3. Mode 3 (Motion sensing only): Longest runtime
  4. Mode 4 (1000 lumens): Up to 24 hours

Thanks to the Adaptive Lighting System (ALS) technology, the light can maintain performance even after cloudy days.

What lighting modes are available?

The light offers four versatile modes:
1. Constant 250 lumens without motion sensing
2. Constant 100 lumens with motion activation to 1000 lumens
3. Motion detection only (activates to 1000 lumens)
4. Constant 1000 lumens without motion sensing

How does the motion sensor work?

The integrated PIR sensor detects movement up to 5 meters away with a 120° detection angle. When activated, it instantly brightens to 1000 lumens for enhanced security and visibility.

Durability & Maintenance

Is the light weather-resistant?

Yes, the light is built for outdoor use with an IP54 waterproof rating. It features ETFE-laminated solar panels and weather-resistant construction to withstand various environmental conditions.

What is the expected lifespan of the light?

The light is built for longevity with high-quality components and comes with a 2-year warranty. The battery has a life expectancy of 5-8 years, though it's currently not replaceable.

 

Technical Specifications

What are the dimensions of the light?

The light measures 28.4cm in length, 5cm in height, and 6.2cm in width, making it compact yet effective for outdoor lighting needs

What type of light does it produce?

The light produces a warm white illumination (2700K), creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Currently, this is the only colour temperature available.

Does it require any wiring or electrical work?

No, the light is completely wireless and solar-powered. The built-in light sensor automatically activates the light at dusk and deactivates it at dawn, requiring no electrical installation or ongoing electrical costs.
