The SOLTECH Victoria 15W is a solar-powered LED light designed for outdoor use. For optimal performance, ensure the light is installed in an area with at least 3.5 hours of direct sunlight per day and keep it away from shadows. During installation, always cover the solar panel with an opaque material (such as cardboard or cloth) to prevent electrical shock, as the panel generates voltage when exposed to light.
Product Overview
The unit consists of the following key components:
- Cap: The top cover of the light.
- Solar Panel: Converts sunlight into electricity.
- Lamp: The LED light source.
- On/Off & Mode Switch: Used to power the unit and cycle through lighting modes.
- PC Lampshade: Protects the internal components.
- Indicator: Shows the currently selected lighting mode.
- PIR Sensor: Detects motion for specific lighting modes.
Installation
The light is designed to be mounted on top of a pole. Follow these steps for installation:
- Ensure the pole diameter is between 2.5 inches and 3.25 inches.
- Place the light on top of the pole.
