Introduction
IMPORTANT
Read this manual carefully before assembling, using or servicing this unit. Keep
this manual for future reference. If you have questions about assembly, operation,
servicing or repair, please call Apex at 1-866-427- 3946.
Thank you for purchasing the Coleman Solar Powered Post Lamp. This post lamp
will provide years of clean, energy free lighting powered by the sun. Simply
assemble and place the solar post lamp in a shade free area that will receive
maximum sunlight and enjoy. The post lamp utilizes LED’s (Light Emitting
Diodes) that never need to be replaced. To operate, simply press the ON button
located on the underside of the post lamp head (see fig 1).
During daylight hours, the solar panel will harvest
sunlight and store the energy in rechargeable
lithium batteries (The post lamp will not illuminate
during daylight hours). A photo cell will
automatically turn the post lamp on at
nightfall. There is a white motion detector located
on the underside of the post lamp head (See fig.2.)
Make sure the motion detector is facing the
direction of the most activity.
To conserve energy, the post lamp will illuminate at
maximum power for approximately 1 minute. The
solar post lamp will then go into conservation mode
and the light output will be reduced. When motion
is detected the post lamp will return to maximum
light output.
Please make sure to securely mount the base to
a solid surface with the enclosed expanding bolts.
For wood surfaces, the base can be secured using
common 4” lag bolts.
Installation Instructions

with the provided Allen Wrench (Diagram C)
3. Thread the upper stem (C) to the (A,B) assembly by turning clockwise until tight
(Diagram D)
4. Thread the solar post head (D) on to (A,B,C) assembly by turning clockwise
until tight.
5. Unit must be securely mounted to a solid surface with the enclosed expanding
bolts. For wood surfaces, the base can be secured using common 4” lag bolts.
Functions
For best results, place the unit in an area that receives maximum sunlight. When
determining the permanent location for your solar post lamp keep in mind that
landscaping, housing, or other structures may create shadows at different times
during the day or season that can dramatically reduce solar collection.
For normal operation press the On/Off switch. During daylight hours, the solar
panel will harvest energy from the sun, and store the energy in rechargeable
Lithium batteries. At night, the light sensor will automatically turn the post lamp on.
After 1 minute of illumination at full power, the lamp post will enter a conservation
mode with a reduced light output. When motion is detected the lamp will return
to full power for approximately 1 minute and repeat the cycle.
Precautions
1. Avoid touching the top surface of the solar-powered light.
2. If the light is not working properly check it by covering the upper surface of the
solar panel completely in order to activate the light sensor.
3. This type of light has been designed to work in the dark. If there is a high level
of ambient light nearby (street lamps, house lights, landscape lighting, etc.) the
LED light may appear very dim or may not turn on at all.
4. Even though the battery has been charged by the manufacturer, its charge level
may have dropped during transit.
A full day in bright sunshine will return the unit to peak performance.
