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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
Bought for my daughter so can't give honest review as haven't seen it in operation. Fast turnaround though from order to delivery. By Stuart Cameron on Sep 16, 2018 Helpful? 0 | 5
Question:
I was somewhat sceptical when I ordered this light as it was my first solar powered garden light but I have to say that I am absolutely delighted with the Vortex. I installed the light in my shed with the panel mounted on the roof it was all very easy and I have to say that I am amazed with how bright this light is. I have not tested the light to see how long it will stay on for continuously but having followed the instructions when I installed it it has provided more than enough light for several hours work in the shed without fault. If this light is typical of the quality of solar lights provided by the solar centre then I shall certainly be installing more solar lighting around my garden.

Unfortunately the plastic clip broke and I have had to use gaffer tape to keep the light in place. Pity that what seems to be an effective lamp is let down by such a poor piece of design. By Dennis Harvey on Nov 20, 2014 Answer:
