In motion detection mode (Mode 1), expect 10-12 hours operation from a full charge. In 10% constant light mode (Mode 2), 6-8 hours with motion detection. In 30% constant mode (Mode 3), approximately 2-3 hours of continuous operation.

The IP65-rated housing features a specialized water channel design that directs moisture away from critical components. The solar panel is sealed with industrial-grade silicone, and the base includes drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

At full brightness (12,000 lumens), one unit effectively illuminates 800-1,000 square feet. The beam angle is 120 degrees, ideal for wall mounting at 8-12 feet height. For optimal coverage, we recommend spacing units 30-40 feet apart.

Yes, there’s a hidden adjustment dial under the weather-proof cap. Settings range from high sensitivity (triggers at 26 feet) to low sensitivity (triggers at 10 feet), useful for reducing false triggers from small animals.

In summer, 6-8 hours of sunlight provides full charge. In winter, expect 8-10 hours charging time. On cloudy days, the high-efficiency solar panel still achieves 60-70% charge. Three consecutive days of heavy cloud cover may affect performance in constant light mode.

Clean the solar panel quarterly with water and mild soap to maintain optimal charging. Check the water drainage channels annually for debris. The LEDs and battery are rated for 50,000+ hours (approximately 5-7 years of normal use).

The included mounting hardware works with wood, vinyl, brick, and concrete. For metal surfaces, use self-tapping screws (not included). For stucco or irregular surfaces, use the included mounting template to ensure proper alignment and weather sealing.
