Why is the sensor not working or the mode button unresponsive?

Please fully charge the light before testing, install in an open area away from other lights, then test in the dark and switch to Mode 1 or 3.

Why is the light not working or too dim after a few days?

It may not be fully charged, set to the wrong mode, tested in daylight, or installed where sunlight is blocked.

Why does it reset every night?

It resets at night when the battery is low; ensure full sunlight daily to keep it charged and maintain settings.

Why isn’t the light charging?

It may be due to weak sunlight (cloudy weather or winter), a dirty solar panel, or the battery has been unused too long and over-discharged.

What are the dimensions of the light?

Approx. 3.74 × 3.38 inches (L × W)

【PIR Motion Sensor】Our sensor lights outdoor work only in motion-activated full brightness (Mode 1) and dim light with motion boost (Mode 3); constant medium light (Mode 2) does not activate the sensor. For best sensor activation, fully charge before use, install in an open area away from other lights, and test in the dark.
【High-Performance Solar Panel】Employing monocrystalline silicon solar cells, it achieves an impressively high conversion efficiency of up to 30%. The lamp body of this outdoor solar light is crafted from high-strength ABS material, which features high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and waterproof properties. Even under extreme weather conditions, it can maintain an extremely high level of brightness, providing long-lasting protection and illumination for your outdoor space.
【All-Weather Waterproof Design】Adopting IP65 waterproof technology, it is fully capable of withstanding water. Constructed from durable, weather-resistant, and heat-resistant plastic materials, it has a longer service life.
【Energy-Saving and Environmentally-Friendly Solar Outdoor Lights】Equipped with rechargeable batteries, it can absorb solar energy for 8 hours during the day and provide long time continuous lighting at night, which meets the requirements of energy-saving, environmental protection and continuous lighting.
【Easy Installation and Wide Application】This solar wall light is extremely simple and convenient to install. You can easily mount it on the wall using the included screws. It can be installed in outdoor spaces such as courtyards, garages, and gardens, bringing great convenience to your life.
【Usage Tips】A compact 3.74×3.38-inch solar light delivering bright daylight illumination. For optimal performance, charge in direct sunlight for 6–8 hours before use, install in a sunny spot, and keep the panel clean from dust and debris.
