If your security light do not turn on at night:
• Switch is in the "OFF" Position. When the switch is in the "OFF"
position, light will not turn on automatically. Move switch to the
"AUTO" position and check for normal operation after dark.
• Make sure the solar panel cord is plugged firmly into main housing.
The battery will not charge if this connection is loose.
• Battery is not fully charged or needs replacement:
a. Make sure light is located in an area where the solar panel gets the
maximum amount of FULL, DIRECT SUNLIGHT every day.
b. If the weather has been cloudy or overcast during the day, the
battery will not be recharged for operation at night. The light must
have direct sunlight every day to fully charge the battery. If the light
does not receive enough sunlight one day, it will recharge the next
sunny day and resume normal operation.
c. Check the battery on a voltage meter to ensure that battery is
charged to a full 6-volts. An electronics store will usually check
batteries at no charge. Battery should be replaced periodically
throughout the year, especially after winter months.
d. Diminishing light or gradual decrease in number of activations
indicate a dying battery that requires replacement. Replacement
battery may be purchased from The Brinkmann Corporation
Customer Service Department by calling 800-468-5252.
• Loose or burned out bulb. Bulb can become loose over time. Check and
tighten the bulb periodically. If the bulb has burned out, a replacement
can be easily installed. Replacement bulb may be purchased from The
Brinkmann Corporation Customer Service Department by calling 800-
468-5252.
• Dirty Solar Panel. A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully
charge. This will shorten the life of the battery and cause the light to
malfunction. Clean regularly with a dampened cloth or paper towel.
