i have landscape lighting hooked up to it. as soon as the lights go on and the battery discharges by a volt the power shuts off. can i adjust it?

1.the regulator should not be shutting off the output from your Battery (if) you are sure it's getting charged fully.2.personally it sounds like a Load short or overload ?are you using a 12 volt photo cell to turn the lights on??3.try to just Light the lights off the battery,without the controller,see what happens,add a DC ammeter to the Load,see what it shows.I hope this might help some.

The unit should shut off when the batteries reach 10.5 volts. If it's shutting off sooner than that, you may have a defective unit.

The lights go out when you reach the lower limit of the lights operating range. Or the regulator thinks it has reached the voltage where the battery could be over drained. Most LED lights can drop five or six volts, so if your statement is correct then I would check the controller. I've used several of these controllers and have not seen this problem, but there is always a chance of a bad one. Like I said, having used several of these units I would start with the battery (is it new, could if have a weak cell, if your not using Lead Acid has it been very cold) which can impact some of the new batteries.

no. the only thing you can adjust is whether you're using regular batteries or the solar rechargeable batteries that come with it.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

hey im sorrry to hear that but my suggestion is that the power box might of burn out. so u might want to test it first. about the wiring they are very small size of cable and i dont think u could retach them. and u wont be able to change the colors of ur LED's lights.

No this unit is for Landscape lighting. You can use any wattage build from ten watts to Fifty. Just remember that this unit can handle up to Three hundred watts.

for sure. or you can use a controller that changes it back to 12 volt. controller is key either way

Aparently not. But it's very valuable to be informed of the voltage so you know the equipment its protected and working properly. If you don't want it for a specific reason, put some tape over it (and take it off afterwards). The front panel lights can be turned off or dimmend down, but not the voltage readout. Best regars.

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc﻿

You can adjust it with the potentiometer on the board, but you are going to need a small flat head screw driver and a volt meter to do it, there is no voltage read out on the board itself.

Don,t think so, you must have a hot wire and a ground, if you connected to your light switch you would have two hot wires when lights are turned on. I believe your lights are 12v not 36v. Just run two wires to your battery. hook one to the Neg. & one to the Pos.. It stays on all the time. Very, very little drain on your battery pack. Hope this helps.

I would think so, as long as you used a low voltage timer. The battery is within the solar panel, so you could put a timer between the light and the panel. and just leave the light switch on, at the light. good luck !

Per the description, this bulb is 10-30 volt DC. If your landscape lighting is DC (working off of a battery), it would work. But if your lighting plugs into a household plug, it is AC and you will need a bulb that runs off AC power.Use the search for led bulbs for landscape lighting. There are some that are 12V AC that might work. I don't know what kind of base your lights take.

I haven't had that issue with mine either. I use mine mainly for edging which puts a greater strain on the battery. My battery will normally last between 30 and 45 minutes and all lights go out. I would definitely call their customer service and ask about it.

make sure it faces the southwest sky and there are no objects blocking the solar panel. also if another source of light at night is close by, it will turn the light sensor switch off. :-) JM

The light shuts off on my shears after the battery is charged, usually a couple of hours.

Kind of. The voltage regulator is actually part if the battery. It shuts off at full charge and also shuts off to prevent over discharge.

Because there are LEDS you can actually get them to run on almost any current input, BUT... connecting it to house current is kind of like taking a bicycle and running it with the engine from a dump truck. And it will cost you hundreds of dollars to connect a 40 dollar light. It just makes no sense. If, as one person observed, perhaps you want to run it off the low voltage of a landscape system then yes, you can do that BUT, the way this particular unit is assembled the batteries are enclosed within the housing of the lamp, so you cannot just connect the wire that is hanging out. You'd have to open the sealed case, de-solder some connections and attach the power wires. It would be simpler and cheaper to just buy a flood light made for your landscape lighting system. They are inexpensive and they are plug and play. Hope that helps you out.
