The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd battery into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY™ for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. The Brinkmann Corporation’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and recharges the battery. At night, the light turns on automatically using the electricity stored during that day.
The number of hours the light will stay on is dependent on your geographical location, weather conditions and seasonal lighting availability.
Solar lights do not receive as much direct sunlight in winter months. Therefore, the number of hours the light will stay on will be reduced during winter.

BEFORE FIRST USE – Pull out to remove the clear plastic strip with orange sticker in the light fixture to charge battery.
Install your Classic Tier solar light in direct sunlight and charge for 10-12 FULL, SUNNY DAYS. The light will turn on automatically at night. Allow at least 10-12 cycles (i.e., 10-12 days and nights of charging and discharging) for the battery to charge to its full capacity.
The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery must be allowed to fully charge to operate properly. Partially charging the battery on a consistent basis will drastically reduce the life of the battery.
