Decide whether ground staking or wall mounting works best for your space. For ground staking, connect the post to the planter base and insert the heavy-duty stake securely into firm lawn or garden soil. For wall mounting, secure the mounting bracket to a wooden fence post, patio wall, or exterior wall using the included screws.

Step 3: Position for Optimal Sunlight Exposure

Place the fixture in a location where its 4 high-performance solar panels will receive unshaded sunlight. A full charge requires 6-8 hours of direct daylight to provide 8-10 hours of bright evening output.

Step 4: Fill the Planter Base with Soil and Summer Flowers

Fill the durable plastic planter with potting soil and your favorite summer flora. The weight of the moist soil adds extra stability to ground-staked setups during windy weather.

Step 5: Activate the Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor

Ensure the power switch is switched to the 'ON' position. The automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor will automatically trigger 3000K warm light as night falls.
