Motion Sensors & Photosensors

A motion sensor is responsible for detecting motion in a certain range around the floodlight and turning the light on when motion has been detected.

A Photosensor is a must-have feature in every solar floodlight. It detects when it gets darker outside and automatically turns the light on at a certain level of darkness and in the opposite, turns the light off in the morning when it is bright enough outside so that it doesn’t waste battery illuminating during the daytime.

Identify a place with ideal lighting from the sun. Position your LED solar light in a location where you desire to have extra lighting and to detect persons or objects moving at night or in the dark, but yet should be accessible to the suns rays.

Measure and mark distance from the ground to mount the bracket/pole. We advise 2-8 metres above ground (maximum depending on the model), mount on a solid surface capable of supporting the LED Solar Light and secure enough so that it will not move when exposed to vibration or wind. The unit must be high enough to allow for motion detection and even light distribution.

Before the solar LED light can operate to its full capacity, the solar panel needs to be charged in the sun for a minimum of 24 hours to fully charge the battery. To achieve this, press the button to switch the light “off”. After charging press “on”.
By turning the light “on”, the light will automatically

Maintenance

Maintenance of your solar light is easy and only requires a few check-ups and cleaning throughout the year. A dirty solar panel will not fully charge the battery, which can cause the lifespan of the battery to be shortened. Ensure you clean the panel regularly with warm soapy water and a dry cloth – once every two months.

Storing your LED solar light

Before storing your LED Solar Light, it must be fully charged for 2 days and switched off. Store the light in a dry location, free of dust and debris. Please note, storing your LED solar light for a prolonged period may damage the battery, decreasing its performance.
