A. Product Description

Our Solar Bricks are green and environment-friendly products. The light is powered by solar energy through a poly crystalline solar panel and a built-in AA Ni-MH HT battery. The solar panel converts sunlight into electric energy and then charges the battery during the daytime. 

Our Solar Bricks shoud be installed in locations where the best sunlight is available and the surface of the brick, where the solar panel is located is in the best direction to receive maximum sunlight. The light Source is from bright LEDs with super luminous intensity which can work up to 50 hours in the dark after a single day of charging in sunlight.

(Battery specification: 1.2V/3200mAh)

E. Installation Instruction

Installation is very easy in soft soil.  Just remove the magnet which keeps the brick in an off mode and install in a hole the same size and depth as the brick. .

If the ground is hard, please seal around the brick witha soft airproof glue and then install the same way you would if it were being placed in soft soil. For installation in concrete or asphalt, use the same methods (with a soft airproof glue) that you would in hard soil.

F. Precautions

(1) Our illuminated bricks are designed to work when it is dark.  If there is high ambient lighting near by, then the LED lights may be very dim or not turned on at all.

(2) Although we charge the batteries before you receive your illuminated bricks, the pre-charged power level will most likely have diminished by the time you receive them.  Please charge each illuminated brick for a full day to obtain maximum performance.

(3) If you haven't used your illuminated bricks for a long period of time, please charge them for two sunny days.  If you are not going to use them for an extended period of tme, replace the magnets in the bottom of the bricks in order to avoid any battery damage.
