What is the best panel tilt angle for solar charging?

In the Northern Hemisphere, set the solar panel tilt at ±5° from local latitude. The optimal tilt angle design for solar charging ensures maximum sunlight exposure throughout changing seasons.

Can these smart lights stay outside during heavy rain?

Yes. Featuring an IP67 waterproof rating, the fixtures are completely protected against heavy rain, dust, and water exposure, backed by a 3-5 years expected lifespan.

How do I control colors and light dynamic scenes?

You can manage colors and presets via APP control via AI-Dot App. Ensure the Aidot app is updated to the latest version (2.5.0) for optimal performance. This unlocks RGBTW Color-changing LED lights, customizable scenes and music sync, and adjustable brightness and color temperature controls.

How far away should spotlights be placed from objects?

For accent lighting on walls or foliage, install lights 5-7 feet from objects for best results. For walkways, adopt a staggered path lighting approach for uniform illumination.
