Solar underwater spotlights
Item no. 807609
Intended use
The product is intended as a decorative light source for outdoor use e.g. in a garden pond.
The solar cell charges the three rechargeable NiMH batteries with sucient sunlight. The
rechargeable batteries power the three included underwater spotlights at dark.
The underwater spotlights features plate holders which can be filled with small stones. This
allows you to easily place the underwater spotlights in a pond or in your garden.
The solar module with integrated solar cell can either be screw mounted, set up using a
ground spike or fastened to a pole or a beam with a special pole clamp.
The underwater LED spotlights light up automatically in the dark and deactivate when the
ambient light level is greater.
Choose a site for setting up the solar module with as little shade as possible so the rechar-
geable batteries can charge suciently to guarantee a lengthy light ON time in the dark..
It is imperative that you follow the safety instructions and all other information contained
in this user manual.

Installation
a) Solar module
Choose a sport for set-up with as much sunlight as possible. The more sunlight
that shines on the solar cell in the solar module, the quicker and fuller the rechar-
geable battery will charge and the longer the light ON time in the dark will be.
The solar module should face south and ideally should be installed so that the
midday sun shines down on the solar cell in the solar module vertically.
If you set up the solar module beneath trees or bushes where only a small amount
of sunlight can reach the solar cell, the rechargeable batteries will not charge
suciently and the three LED underwater spotlights will light up at night only very
briefly if at all.
 Duringthewinter months or duringextendedperiodsofadverse weather, the
rechargeable batteries will also not charge suciently and light ON time in the
dark will decrease accordingly.
 Donotplacethesolarmoduledirectlynexttoothersourcesoflightsuchascour-
tyard lights, street lights, etc. Otherwise the underwater spotlights will not turn
on/ocorrectly(theLEDsareactivatedautomaticallywhenthechargingcurrent
fromthesolarcelldropsbelowacertainvalue).
Before setting up the solar module, make sure the three LED spotlight cables
reach the solar module.
Wall installation
Fasten the solar module mounting foot to a stable surface using 2 screws and screw an-
chors if necessary. When drilling any holes or fastening the screws, make sure not to da-
mage and cables or wiring.
Depending on the surface, use suitable screws and screw anchors.
Then fasten the solar module to the mounting foot.
Installation using the pole clamp
First stick the L-shaped metal bracket through the
solarmodulemountingfoot(heedproperorienta-
tion)andpivotitoutwards90°.Seeillustrationon
right.
Fit the plastic plate onto the metal bracket, then
screw on the wing nut.
To prevent injuries, the plastic cap finally should
be placed on the thread.
The clamp can be fastened to e.g. a pole or a beam, etc. Move the plastic plate and tighten
the wing nut.
Then fasten the solar module to the mounting foot.
Set-up using the ground spike
Screwthegroundspiketothesolarmoduleandstickthegroundspikewiththesolarmodule
into the ground e.g. in a flower a bed.
 Donotuseanytoolstoinsertthegroundspike(e.g.ahammer).Exertingforcecan
causedamagetotheproductandresultsinlossofwarranty!
b) Underwater spotlights
The three underwater spotlights can be set up not only in
your garden but also in or under water, such as in a garden
pond or an artificial stream.
The plate holders can be filled with e.g. small stones to
stabilizethepositionoftheunderwaterspotlights.Seeil-
lustration on right.
Lay the cables between the underwater spotlights and the
solar module so that it cannot be tripped over.
Placethecablesomewherewheretheywillnotbedriven
over or stepped on. Also shield the cables from sharp cor-
ners.
