ABOUT YOUR SOLAR ILLUMINATED MAILBOX POST

Your mailbox address post has a solar light and charging panel that lights the interior to illuminate the letters. Where you install the post matters - the sunlight should hit the solar panel and the post should cast a well defined shadow for 4-8 hours per day to receive the longest charge for the battery. Since the battery is depleted every night, no matter where you install the address post, there will be some days where there is not enough sunlight and the solar panel will not receive sufficient electricity to fully charge and therefore the post will light only for a short time and sometimes will not light at all. Most nights it will illuminate, we just want you to have a realistic expectation. Also, on those nights where it does not light, it still has high contrast so that the pizza driver will easily see your address. As with all solar gizmos you can currently buy, this is to be expected and does not indicate a failure of the solar light. In winter, the sun’s rays hit the earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits the solar cap, and then it will not last as long into the night as in spring, summer and early fall. Be sure to regularly clean the panel and remove dirt, snow, and ice from the solar panel.

Installation / Mounting

The Solar Address Sign Post will need to be installed where the cap receives sunlight throughout the day. If mounted in a shady location it will not work properly. The light may or may not stay on until the morning, but it should turn on automatically every evening once charged and last for a number of hours. If the length of time that the light stays on is diminishing it may be time to replace the battery (see solar cap section below).

With Mailbox - set mailbox on mounting board and fasten the 4 screws.

Without Mailbox - we have included two 1” PVC mounting boards - these may or may not work with your mailbox. If they work, they are designed to be mounted perpendicular to the mailbox support arm - you will need to cut them to length to fit within the mounting lip (on the bottom) of your mailbox and space them so they align with the mailboxes mounting holes - then screw them to the support arm and screw the mailbox to the mounting boards.

Let the cap charge in full sun for a complete day before expecting the sign to backlight. On cloudy days and in winter the solar panel will not generate as much electricity and the battery may not be charged to full capacity. On those days, the light may not last as long into the night and this is expected as with any solar device.

The solar light includes 2 rechargeable 3.7v NiMH batteries which will need to be replaced every so often. This is to be expected and is easy to do. See your instructions or contact us for help with this.
