3. Matters that need to pay attention to in daily use of the solar light
a. Forbidden to throw stones and other objects at the lamp.
b. Change the lighting mode of the solar light must strictly follow the procedure.
c. Adjust in time when the elevation angle or horizon level of the light is offset.
4. Solar street lights do not light up after sunset. Common faults and troubleshooting are as follows:
(1) If the test lamp does not turn on immediately after unpacking, first check the indicator light of the controller;
a. Please check whether the solar panel and the lamp head are connected well and tightened.
b. When the solar panel and lamp head is well connected, the controller's battery indicator (red light) should always be on. If it does not light up, the battery may be discharged. Put the lamp head and the solar panel under the sunlight together, and observe the controller indicator's working status. If the red light is always on and the blue light flashes slowly, press the demo mode with remote control. If the light is turned on, then the light is functional; If the light still doesn't work, please return the entire lamp to the factory.
c. The indicator light is flashing normally, and the remote control demonstration mode does not light up. Please pay attention to whether the three indicators of the controller flash at the same time when pressing the remote control. If it does not flash at the same time, it means that the signal did not send successfully. Adjust the remote control distance and send again. If the sending is still unsuccessful, the remote control may be damaged, or the remote control battery may be out of power. Please try again after replacing the remote control.
5) The street lights have been installed for a while and the lights are not on. Common faults and troubleshooting are as follows:
(1) If it has been installed and used for a period of time, first check the indicator light of the controller;
a. All the indicators are off. It is possible that the battery is over-discharged and the battery is protected by hardware. You can check the indicator light during the next daytime. If the red light is always on and the blue light is flashing, it means light is charging normally, and the solar street light is functional. If the indicator light does not light up during the daytime then the lamp is damaged. You need to replace the lamp accessories.
b. The light is on normally for a period of time, but it is found the lighting time is too short. Please observe the surrounding environment, check whether the solar panel is blocked, whether the angle of the maximum irradiation area of the road surface is adjusted, whether it has been continuously used for several rainy days and the installation angle of the solar panel is adjusted. If none of the above problems exist, please use the universal remote control to read the setting parameters and check whether it is the normal factory mode setting. If the current setting is too high or the control changes the lighting time is short, please return to the factory default mode.
