How does it work?
The high powered solar panel charges the internal rechargeable batteries by day. When you require light press the button on the face of the light unit to turn it on. The first push will turn all 36 LED bulbs on. Pushing again will operate the 24 outer LED bulbs only. A third push will operate the inner 12 LED bulbs only. Another push will turn the light off. Please note the more LED bulbs you have on the faster the batteries will drain.

How do I install it?
Using the supplied flat head screws and rawl plugs attach the U-bracket (C) to where you wish to mount the light. Please ensure that there is enough space to connect the solar panel cable into the side of the light unit. Once the U-bracket is secure, attach the shed fixing bracket (A) into the centre of the light and then slide this into the U-bracket. Finally, connect the cable from the Solar Panel into the socket on the side of the light unit and position the panel where it will receive the most amount of light.

Please note that the Vortex is designed to charge by day and work at night so the unit will not operate if the panel is in daylight unless you unplug the solar panel. This is OK for occasional use, but the unit will struggle to charge if it is regularly used during the day when it is supposed to be charging.

Question:

Hello, I'd like to position 2 of these lights in the centre of a high ceiling garage. From reading reviews, I think that I can position the centre on/off and light adjustment switch away from the light unit. Is this correct? How far from the light unit can I position the switch? If it's not enough to reach the pedestrian door, I'll have to purchase a pir alternative. Thank you.
By Mike Morrison on Sep 29, 2017

Answer:

The light switch is built into the light head so it's sound like a PIR light would work better for you.

Question:

Can the solar panel be outside of the shed? I'd like to use the light inside as the windows are very small letting in little light. Also I don't want it on at dusk automatically. If I switch it off, will the solar panel still charge so that it will turn on when I physically switch it on?
By Gemma Thomson on Sep 27, 2017

Answer:

This shed light has a switch on the light unit. The panel must be outside to receive sun light allowing it to charge. The Vortex will only work at night even when the switch is on. If you a light that works in the day and night please look at the beam solar shed light
