Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 279399 Livarno Lux

How does the Livarno Lux IAN 279399 solar light work?

The lamp has a solar module that converts daylight into electrical energy and stores it in an integrated Ni-MH battery. At nightfall, the dusk sensor automatically turns on the LED. You can choose between a fixed white light or an RGB color change mode (red-green-blue cycle).

How to change the battery of the solar light?

Unscrew the globe counterclockwise. Set the On/Off switch to OFF. Remove the solar module from the spacer. Unscrew the two screws under the housing and then the three screws under the cover. Replace the Ni-MH AAA 1.2 V / 300 mAh battery, observing polarity (+/-). Close everything and set the switch back to ON.

What is the lighting duration after a full charge?

When the battery is fully charged, the lighting lasts approximately 6 to 8 hours. This duration depends on sunlight, the angle of incidence on the solar cell, and ambient temperature. In winter, the runtime may be reduced.

How to maintain the solar light?

Regularly clean the solar cell and globe with a dry, lint-free cloth to prevent performance loss. Do not use caustic detergents. In winter, ensure the solar cell is not covered with snow or ice. Replace the battery every 12 months.

Can I use the lamp indoors?

No, this lamp is designed exclusively for decorative outdoor use. It is not suitable for room lighting and requires direct sunlight to recharge the battery.

What to do if the lamp does not light up?

First check that the environment is dark enough (no light source nearby). Make sure the On/Off switch is set to ON. If the battery is discharged, expose the lamp to sunlight for a day. If the problem persists, the battery may be defective: replace it with a new one of the same type.

How to activate the fixed color mode?

Toggle the RGB switch to the RGB OFF position. The lamp then stays lit on the color displayed at the time of switching (default white or last active color). To return to the color-changing cycle, set the switch back to RGB.

Can I replace the LED bulb?

No, the RGB LED is not replaceable. If it fails, the entire product must be disposed of according to regulations. The warranty does not cover normal wear.

Is the lamp waterproof?

Yes, it has an IP44 rating, meaning it is splash-proof. So it can stay outdoors in the rain, but it is not submersible.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. Keep the receipt as proof. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, but not damage from improper use or normal wear (batteries, etc.).

- Introduction

We congratulate you on the purchase of your new product. You have chosen a high quality product. The instructions for use are part of the product. They contain important information concerning safety, use and disposal. Before using the product, please familiarise yourself with all of the safety information and instructions for use. Only use the product as described and for the specified applications. If you pass the product on to anyone else, please ensure that you also pass on all the documentation with it.

Intended use

The product is intended as an outdoor accent light. The product is not intended for commercial use or for use in other applications.

■ Not suitable for ordinary lighting in household room illumination.

This product is suitable for extreme temperature up to -21 °C.

The solar module built into this product converts sunlight into electricity and stores it in the

rechargeable Ni-MH battery. The product switches on at dusk.

The in-built light-emitting diodes are a very long-life and energy-saving light source.

The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the angle at which light hits the solar panel, and the temperature (the battery capacity varies by temperature). A vertical angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal.

The battery does not achieve maximum capacity until after several charge and discharge cycles.
