Before final placement, cycle through the 3 color lighting modes—Cool White, Warm White, or Natural White—to match your desired mood. Warm White complements wood and flowers, while Cool White emphasizes modern architectural masonry.

Step 3: Mount or Stake the Solar Fixture

Utilize the 2-in-1 installation feature:

• For Ground Mounting: Attach the ground stake and press the unit firmly into damp soil or garden mulch to a depth of roughly 4-6 inches inches.
• For Wall Mounting: Position the bracket against your fence or wall, mark the holes, and secure the bracket using the included screws.

Step 4: Position Panel for Optimal Sunlight Charging

Adjust the 120-degree adjustable head so the polycrystalline silicon solar panel faces direct sunlight. Thanks to an energy conversion rate up to 20%, proper panel alignment allows the 74 LEDs delivering 600 lumens to operate continuously for 6-14 hours after charging. Automatic dusk to dawn operation will handle turn-on times automatically.
