Cool Touch: Safe for pedestrian and vehicle use.
Walk Over / Drive Over: Designed to withstand pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Installation: Can be installed in both flexible and solid pavings.
- Flexible Pavings: Involves extracting an existing paving block, preparing a draining sublayer (e.g., sand), connecting the lamp to its drainage base (screws included), inserting the assembled unit using a suction cup to prevent damage, and finally removing the protective plastic film.
- Solid Pavings: Requires reserving a space in the ground (at least 100x200mm with 6cm depth) and potentially a drainage tube (not provided), connecting the lamp to its drainage base, inserting the unit with a suction cup, and removing the protective film.
Activation: The lamp automatically turns on at night once it is in contact with light and activated.
Optimal Placement: For maximum efficiency, install the BRICK solar lamp where it can receive direct sunshine, free from cover or shade.
Lamp Spacing: Recommended installation distance between lamps is approximately 1.10 meters for general lighting.
Other Compositions: Lamps can be installed in pairs or groups for stronger and more focused light.

Maintenance Features

Minimum Maintenance Requirements: Designed for low upkeep.
Cleaning: Regularly clear the solar module with a damp towel to ensure optimum performance of the solar panel.
Troubleshooting:
- If the lamp does not turn on at dusk:
  1. Ensure no other light source is affecting the lamp.
  2. Verify the lamp is not in shade during the day.
  3. Check that the battery is installed correctly.
Battery Replacement: Batteries should be replaced by experienced personnel only.
Light Source: The light source of the luminaire is not replaceable. When the light source reaches its end of life, the entire luminaire must be replaced.
Disposal: Electronic devices and batteries must be disposed of separately from household waste, following European Guideline 2002/96/EG for environmentally sound recycling. Consult municipal government for proper disposal options. Batteries contain heavy metals and should be taken to a municipal collection site.
