Quick Guide

This solar flood light requires specific battery types and optimal placement to function correctly. Ensure you use only 18500 1000mAh LiFePO4 rechargeable batteries. The unit must be placed in an area with full, direct sunlight to ensure the battery charges properly. Avoid placing the light near other nighttime light sources, as this may prevent the automatic sensor from activating.

Safety Information

Important: Do not use alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or Ni-Cd (nickel cadmium) batteries. Only use LiFePO4 rechargeable batteries. Do not mix battery types. Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly according to local regulations. Handle the ground stake with care as it has a sharp, pointed edge.

Installation Overview

Before beginning, ensure all parts are present. No tools are required for assembly.
