Q
Functioning
The solar panel installed in the article
converts sunlight into electrical energy
and stores it in 2 NiMH batteries. Switch-
es on the light as it begins to get dark.
The in-built light-emitting diodes are a
very long-life and energy-saving light
source. The light duration depends on the
amount of sunlight, the angle of light on
the solar panel and the temperature (the
battery capacity is temperature-depend-
ent). A vertical angle of light at temper-
atures above the freezing point is ideal.
The battery does not achieve maximum
capacity until after several charge and
discharge cycles.
J
If the lamp has not been charged
for an extended period of time
(1 - 2 months), you could find that
the rechargeable batteries have en-
tered a dormant state. Charge and
discharge the rechargeable batteries
a number of times in succession to
reactivate them.
Q
Charging the
rechargeable Battery
The charging time of the battery depends
on the intensity of the sunlight and the
angle of incidence of the light on the
solar cell
7
.
Place the solar cell
7
as perpendicular
as possible to the angle of incidence of
the light. In this way you will receive the
highest light levels.

The surface of the light can reach a
temperature of 60 °C.
