⚠️ Important Safety Information
Installation should be performed by a certified electrician in compliance with local safety regulations and electrical codes.
CRITICAL: Your LED numbers are 12V DC. They must NEVER be connected directly to a 110V+ AC power source. Always use the provided 12V DC power supply (LED Driver or Solar Panel). Direct connection to AC power is extremely dangerous and will permanently destroy the LEDs.

Hardwiring Transformer
Step 1: Gather Your Tools & Parts
Powering Options:
What We Provide (Based on your purchase):
- ✅ Backlit Address Numbers
- ✅ Mounting Screws & Hardware
- ✅ Paper Installation Template
- ✅ Power Source:
- LED Driver (for Hardwiring): A transformer to be connected directly to your home's wiring.
- LED Driver with Plug (for Outlet): A transformer with a pre-attached wall plug.
- Solar Panel Power Bank: An all-in-one solar-powered unit.
- ✅ Optional Accessories: Timer, Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor, or Dimmer
What You'll Need:
- ✏️ Drill with 5/32" drill bit
- ✏️ Hammer
- ✏️ Level
- ✏️ Painter's Tape
- ✏️ Exterior-Grade Epoxy or Silicone Glue
Step 2: Mount the Numbers
- Position the Template: Use a level and painter's tape to secure the paper template on the wall.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes for both the mounting screws and the electrical wires at the marks on the template.
- Prepare the Numbers: Screw the threaded mounting rods into the back of each number.
- Apply Adhesive: Add a small amount of epoxy or silicone glue to the end of each rod that will go into the wall. This ensures a secure, weatherproof fit.
- Mount the Numbers: Remove the template and carefully guide the wires and rods into the drilled holes. Push gently until the numbers are flush against the spacers.

Accessory Setup & Operation
Solar Panel System Operation
- Connect Wires: Following Diagram 7, connect all number wires and then link them to the solar panel. Ensure the "XD" connectors are aligned and firmly pushed together.
- Activate: Press the red button on the battery box to turn the system on.
- Charge: Place the solar panel where it will receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn Function
Your solar panel is fully automatic. It will turn the lights ON at night and OFF during the day to charge. No remote or timer is needed for this normal operation.
To test during the day, simply cover the face of the solar panel completely. The numbers should light up.
Timer Installation & Programming
Key Functions:
- LCD Display with Lithium battery power reserve.
- Switch between AUTO and MANUAL modes.
- Load capacity: 10A; Temperature rating: -10°C to +40°C.
Initial Setup:
- Unlock Timer: Press the "C/R" button four times until the "lock" symbol on the screen disappears. The timer will auto-lock if idle for 15 seconds.
- Set Current Time: Press "C" to enter time-setting mode. Use H+ and M+ to adjust hours and minutes. Press "C" again to save.
Programming ON/OFF Times:
- Press "P" to begin programming (the display will show "1 ON").
- Set the first ON time using the H+ and M+ buttons.
- Press "P" again (the display will show "1 OFF").
- Set the first OFF time using the H+ and M+ buttons.
- Repeat for up to 20 different programs if needed.
- Press "C" to exit programming mode.
Dusk-to-Dawn Light Sensor Installation
Note: These instructions are for the standalone dusk-to-dawn sensor accessory, not the built-in sensor on the solar panel power bank.
Installation Requirements:
- Avoid Dark Locations: Do NOT install the light sensor in very dark places during daytime. The sensor needs exposure to natural ambient light to function properly.
- Distance from Light Sources: Install the sensor away from your lighted address numbers and other lamp light sources. Artificial light can interfere with the sensor's operation and cause false readings.
- Proper Positioning: For optimal performance, mount the sensor facing north or in a location where it receives ambient daylight but is not exposed to direct artificial lighting at night.
Technical Specifications:
- Activation Threshold: The sensor will turn the lights ON when ambient light falls below 30 Lux for 10 seconds.
- Deactivation Threshold: The sensor will turn the lights OFF when ambient light rises above 150 Lux for 10 seconds.
- Delay Function: The 10-second delay prevents rapid on/off cycling from passing clouds or temporary shadows.
Solar Panel Remote (*Optional Use*)
While not needed for automatic operation, the remote offers manual controls. Press AUTO to return to the standard dusk-to-dawn mode at any time.
- ON/OFF: Manually turn lights on or off.
- 3H, 5H, 8H: Set a timer to turn lights off after a set number of hours.
- Brightness Controls: Adjust the light intensity.
Troubleshooting Guide
For Hardwired / Plug-In Systems
- Numbers Don't Light Up? The most common issue is reversed polarity. Swap the positive and negative wires coming from the 12V DC output of your driver.
-
Still No Light?
- Verify the LED driver is correctly wired to the AC power source and is outputting 12V DC.
- If you have accessories (dimmer, sensor, timer), remove them and connect the numbers directly to the driver. If they work, reintroduce each accessory one by one to find the faulty component.
For Solar Panel Systems
- 🔴 Flashing Red Light: Battery charge is low. Ensure the panel gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
-
🟢 Flashing Green Light: There is a connection error between the solar panel and the numbers. To fix this:
- Check all wiring connections carefully for any loose or disconnected wires.
- Make sure the solar panel wiring plug and the numbers wiring plug are properly connected with the arrows on one side of the plug aligned together, and the XD connectors on the opposite side also aligned correctly.
- Ensure all connections are secure and pushed together firmly.
-
If Numbers Don't Light Up:
- Confirm the red power button on the battery box has been pressed in.
- Check that the "XD" connectors between the numbers and the panel are firmly pushed together with the arrows aligned.
- Make sure the panel has received enough sunlight to charge. A low or empty battery is the most common cause.
✅ Following these steps resolves most common installation issues.
