FUNCTION: The built-in solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. The rechargeable battery stores the energy and

converts the power into light for use during the night. The lighting hours of the solar light depends on the geographical

location and weather condition. Stronger or longer exposure to sunlight enables the battery to store more energy and

provide longer lighting hours.

LOCATION: It is important to select an outdoor location with full, direct sunlight where the solar panel can receive at least 8

hours of sunlight each day. Shady areas will not enable batteries to be fully charged. This will reduce the lighting hours at

night. It is also important to avoid placing the solar light by light sources, such as street lights or porch lights, which may

cause the solar light to turn off automatically. The solar light is designated for outdoor usage and ideal for night lighting of

garden, paths, etc.

Overview

Device Description

This document describes the Patriot Lighting Solar Light, Model Number 35344 (SKU 343-6107).

Device Description

The Patriot Lighting Solar Light is an outdoor address sign designed for night lighting of gardens, paths, and to display house numbers. It is a self-contained unit that converts sunlight into electricity, stores it in a rechargeable battery, and then uses this stored energy to illuminate the address sign at night.

Function Description

The primary function of this solar light is to provide illuminated address display and ambient lighting for outdoor spaces. It operates by utilizing built-in solar panels that convert solar energy into electricity during the day. This electricity is then stored in a rechargeable battery. As night falls, the stored power is converted into light, illuminating the address sign. The duration of the lighting hours is dependent on the geographical location and prevailing weather conditions; stronger or longer exposure to direct sunlight allows the battery to store more energy, resulting in extended lighting hours.

Important Technical Specifications

Model Number: 35344
SKU Number: 343-6107
Battery: Includes (1) AA 600 mAh Ni-Mh rechargeable battery.
Light Source: LED. The estimated lifetime for the LEDs is 100,000 hours, indicating they should not require replacement.
Mounting Options: Designed for both ground stake installation and wall mounting. Wall mounting hardware is not included, and professional installation is advised for certain exterior surfaces.

Usage Features

Address Display: The device comes with 3 sets of numbers 0-9 and 1 set of letters A-Z, allowing users to customize their address display. The letters and numbers are installed by aligning pegs with holes in the frame and pushing them securely into place.
Outdoor Placement: For optimal performance, the solar light should be placed in an outdoor location that receives full, direct sunlight for at least 8 hours daily. Shady areas will hinder battery charging and reduce lighting hours.
Light Source Avoidance: It is crucial to avoid placing the solar light near other light sources such as street lights or porch lights, as these may cause the solar light to automatically turn off.
Installation:
- Ground Installation: For ground placement, users should find an unobstructed location, insert the ground stakes into the bottom of the sign, secure them, and then insert the sign with stakes into the ground. If the ground is hard, it is recommended to loosen the soil with a shovel or trowel to prevent damage.
- Wall Mounting: For wall mounting, a secure, drillable surface is required. Users need to locate the two screw mounting holes on the back of the sign, accurately measure the distance between them, and replicate this measurement on the wall using a pencil, ruler, and level. Two mounting screws are then screwed into the wall, and the sign is mounted onto these screws.
Battery Installation: The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the sign. It requires a small screwdriver to remove the cover. The rechargeable AA batteries must be inserted according to the polarity diagram, and the cover then secured with four screws, ensuring not to overtighten.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: The solar panel should be cleaned with a damp cloth. It is important to avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners and to ensure no moisture enters the solar light. Regular cleaning helps maintain the efficiency of the solar panel.
Battery Replacement: The product contains one AA 600 mAh Ni-Mh rechargeable battery. When the battery expires, it must be recycled or disposed of properly according to local waste disposal authority guidelines. Batteries should not be disposed of in fire. If the light does not come on at night, checking the battery contact and polarity, and replacing a worn-out battery with a new AA 600 mAh Ni-Mh rechargeable battery, are recommended troubleshooting steps.
Troubleshooting: If the light does not come on at night, users should:
- Ensure the plastic pull tag (if present) has been removed.
- Check the rechargeable battery for proper contact and correct polarity.
- Replace the battery if it is worn out.
- Reposition the light to avoid close contact with other night light sources.
- Ensure the solar panel is clean and free of dirt and debris.
