01 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing BEACON Solar Powered LED
Traffic Sign Light.
Important
Please read these instructions before installation to ensure optimum
results and longevity of your lights. The solar panel should be charged in full
sunlight for 8 to 9 hours before initial first use to provide optimum results.
Features
This solar-powered flashing traffic sign light, BEACON, will give advance
warning to drivers on the road or in shopping centers with its bright
flashing LED light. It is ideal for warning applications, and low visibility
areas where dangerous conditions or obstructions exist. It can addi-
tionally be used to enhance the visibility of unlit roadway caution or
stop signs, railroad crossings, and bridge abutments. BEACON features
a removable solar panel capable of rotation to adjust to the sun’s angle.
It is powered entirely by the solar panel and battery, with no AC power
required.
Notice & Warning
1. The BEACON will provide optimal performance where there is
enough sunshine.
2. Please note the lighting run time depends on sunshine duration
and weather.
3. Do not disassemble the light fixture.
4. Do not dispose of the battery as garbage to avoid explosion.
Please Note
During continuous rainy or cloudy days, run time may be reduced as
the battery will not be fully charged.

The solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever. The off–grid system
relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels
properly can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You
want to angle your solar panels at a tilt based on the area’s latitude.
Tip
You can increase the tilt 15° in the winter or decrease 15° in the summer.
In this way you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battrey.
Strong sunlight Normal sunlight Less sunlight
Key
The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes
prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West
& East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still
collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but
it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean
that the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.
