The SOLTECH MORAGA 18W is a solar-powered LED lighting fixture. Before installation, ensure the light pole foundation is solid and the battery is fully charged. The light requires a minimum of 3.5 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal performance. Always orient the solar panel toward the equator (south in the northern hemisphere) and avoid shaded areas.
Installation
The installation process involves mounting the light head to the pole:
- Step 1: Connect the light head holder to the light head. Ensure there is no gap between them.
- Step 2: Tilt the light head and install the 4pcs of M8*40mm screws inside the light holder using the T-shape wrench.
- Step 3: Place the light head on top of the pole and tighten the two M8*16mm screws using the T-shape wrench.
- Step 4: Press the ON/OFF button on the light head to turn it on, then use the remote control to set the desired lighting mode.
Important: When the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, it generates electricity. Cover the panel with an opaque material (like paper or cloth) during installation to avoid shock hazards.
Remote Control and Lighting Modes
The remote control allows you to configure various lighting modes. The operating range is 16ft during the day and 33ft at night. Modes include:
- Motion Sensor Modes: 40%~100% or 20%~80% (default). The light stays at a lower brightness and increases when motion is detected.
- Constant Modes: 100%, 70%, or 40% brightness from dusk to dawn.
- Timer Modes: 4 hours or 8 hours, which can be combined with other modes.
- Special Modes: Night Owl Mode and Early Bird Mode, which adjust brightness based on the time of night.
Battery Maintenance
To prevent deep discharge during storage, the battery must be fully recharged every 4 months. The battery will stop charging if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-20°F) or above 140°C.
