Answer：

1. Has been adopted mainly capacitor (aka "electric double layer capacitor") to medium (storage medium) save electricity.
   Capacitor is extremely long life in terms of the number of times of charging and discharging, and does not include an environmental-depleting substances "lead" and "cadmium".
   
   
2. is adopted to have solar cells, small mainly "amorphous silicon solar cells" in the self-emission products, also to those of medium / large size, has been mainly adopted the single crystal silicon solar cells.
   Amorphous silicon solar cells, the efficiency (conversion efficiency) which changes the light into electricity is slightly degraded, so that you can take out the electricity in the shade.
   Sunlight is by product of your environment, we have adopted in properly selected the solar cells.
   
   
3. I have adopted a dedicated high efficiency circuit system of the capacitor for power storage (charging).
   
   
4. LED drive circuit has high efficiency system including an optical system for bright and lit a long period of time at a fraction of the power is adopted.
   
   
5. Especially for the "embedded self-luminous products", you have devised such as the following in waterproof structure.
   
   
   * To withstand a wide temperature range of outdoor, upper and lower cases mating part has adopted a high weather resistance of powerful elastic adhesive.
   * Rigidity of the case is high by special thick molding technology, and mating part has multiplied by mechanically locking also.
   * Receiving and emitting section (upper case) has adopted the weather resistance polycarbonate resin, and is suppressing sufficiently resin discoloration due to ultraviolet rays.
   

Answer： The brightness of the lighting time and the LED is determined by the following conditions.

1. Capacity of capacitor (unit: [F]) and the full-charge voltage (Unit: [V]) if have the same power consumption large storage energy is larger, respectively, it is possible to increase the lighting time.
   (10-fold in capacity, if the two-fold with full charge voltage, it becomes really 40 times the storage energy.)
   
   
2. Determines the lighting time in power consumption of the magnitude of the LED.
   Sunlight of goods we have driven by circuit on, constant current by connecting the LED to each other in series. (Usually two to four from four series) LED is brightly lit in a certain range the greater power supply current.
   (Usually up to a few tens of mA)
   For example, it will be the power consumption at the time of 5mA energized blue LED in four series ... 70 (mW).
   Sunlight of the commodity, has adopted a "slight optical system and circuit system that emits bright power consumption." Naturally, the brighter the power consumption of the LED is large, but if storage energy is the same lighting time will be shorter.
   
   
3. or the "lighting time" that has been described in the catalog, the ability basis there roughly about 1.2 times.For example, "lighting time 8 hours", you have ability to continue roughly lit 10 hours when fully charging.Sunlight of product may be devised of circuit system which brightly emitting an optical system and LED that make effective use of the LED light.
   (Sunlight made of irradiation lens, we are effective in its own technology, such as the light guide plate and LED drive circuit.)

Technology： The brightness of the lighting time and the LED is determined by the following conditions.

1. If storage medium is a capacitor, the capacity (unit: [F]): become the element that is better becomes large storage energy large respectively, to increase the lighting time when the constant power consumption and full charge voltage ([V] units) you.
   For example, it will be stored energy of ...... when capacity = 10F / full charge voltage 5V 113.75 (J) 32 (mwh).
   It will be stored energy of ...... when capacity = 100F / full charge voltage 10V 4550 (J) 1263 (mwh).
   (1/2)*C (F) *(Vcap (V) ) I have been estimated by the square of the official.
   10-fold in capacity, if the two-fold with full charge voltage, it becomes really 40 times the storage energy.
   
   
2. Determines the lighting time in power consumption of the magnitude of the LED.
   Sunlight of the commodity on the circuit, connect the LED to a plurality series has been constant current drive. (Four series from the usual two)
   LED will brightly lit in a certain range the greater power supply current. (Usually up to a few tens of mA)
   For example, it will be the power consumption of ...... 70 (mW) when 5mA energized blue LED in the four series.
   (I have been estimated at LED forward voltage Vf = 3.5V constant.)
   In this case, (1) 10F / 5V is capacitor conditions and lighting time of that described in section ...... 0.457142857 (time)
   Next, I can see that there is only less than 2 hours lighting time. (Lighting time = the estimated at 32mWh / 70mW)
   Lighting time to about 8 hours, it must be reduced to the current 1/5 (ie 1mA).
   As described above, and the required capacitor stored energy and the LED current applied according to the lighting time and brightness are to have appropriately determined.
   
   
3. It is also important to the elements of even lighting time emission efficiency of the entire system and brightness.
   Circuitry driven at maximum efficiency the optical system and the LED for irradiating the light emitted from the LED to the outside efficiently is important.
   Sunlight of product may be devised of circuit system which brightly emitting an optical system and LED that make effective use of the LED light.
   (Sunlight made of irradiation lens, we are effective in its own technology, such as the light guide plate and LED drive circuit.)
   Those who want to be sure the technical details contact Sunlight please.

Answer：

1. If the charging medium of capacitor, its capacity and full charge voltage is better is larger one will take a long time to charge.
   In other words, charging time is larger the capacitor capacity, will long be elements charging time the higher the full charge voltage.
   In addition, it will be long become elements charging time as charging current is small.
   If you change the representation, it becomes output is large (generally large solar) shorter charging time about elements of the solar cells.
   On the other hand, the lower the charging voltage to be up to full charge voltage of the capacitor capacitance is small will be similar elements.
   
   
2. Determines the lighting time in power consumption of the magnitude of the LED.
   Sunlight of the commodity on the circuit, connect the LED to a plurality series has been constant current drive. (Four series from the usual two)
   LED will brightly lit in a certain range the greater power supply current. (Usually up to a few tens of mA)
   For example, it will be the power consumption of ...... 70 (mW) when 5mA energized blue LED in the four series.
   (I have been estimated at LED forward voltage Vf = 3.5V constant.)
   In this case, (1) 10F / 5V is capacitor conditions and lighting time of that described in section ...... 0.457142857 (time)
   Next, I can see that there is only less than 2 hours lighting time. (Lighting time = the estimated at 32mWh ÅÄ 70mW)
   Lighting time to about 8 hours, it must be reduced to the current 1/5 (ie 1mA).
   As described above, and the required capacitor stored energy and the LED current applied according to the lighting time and brightness are to have appropriately determined.

Technology：

1. If the charging medium of capacitor, its capacity and full charge voltage is better is larger one will take a long time to charge.
   This Une be the same for secondary battery, but if the capacitor, the charge curve is very different from the secondary battery.
   
   
   
2. In the case of capacitor, capacitor charging voltage charging time it will be the primary function of the charging current is I will consists in the following equation.
   T[sec]=C[F]*V[V] / I[A]
   In other words, charging time is larger the capacitor capacity, will long be elements charging time the higher the full charge voltage.
   In addition, it will be long become elements charging time as charging current is small.
   If you change the representation, it becomes output is large (generally large solar) shorter charging time about elements of the solar cells.
   On the other hand, the lower the charging voltage to be up to full charge voltage of the capacitor capacitance is small will be similar elements.
   
   
3. The above (1), but I mentioned a little in the section, it is about charging time the output of the solar cell is large can be short, economic factors and space, the size of the solar cells to be selected by factors such as weight there is a limit .
   Also, is the sunshine conditions of a large most impact on the charging time.
   ...... Cloudy / rainy weather of problem solving is important.
   Typically, the characteristics at the time of cloudy weather as compared to the output characteristics at the time of fine weather in the single-crystal Si solar cell is extremely decreased.
   Especially of current output linearity (linearity of illumination / output current) is poor, it is not suitable for capacitor charge under cloudy weather.
   Sunlight of goods, so that it can be charged even at a relatively bad conditions sunshine conditions, following such ingenuity has been made.
   * Even in low light you have selected a rechargeable solar battery.
   (Low illumination linearity is adopted as good.)
   * The circuit configuration with an emphasis on charging in low light, and has realized the charging voltage ensure up to a certain level even under low illumination.
   

   Tricks to shorten charging time

   The charge time is shortened by using the following circuit configuration designed for the specific capacitor we use.

   When the charging voltage is low, The capacitor will be charged with a parallel current.

Answer: The products Sunlight, and has adopted the "semiconductor photosensor" in order to detect the ambient brightness.
The photo-sensor does not have be false positives in such infrared you do not feel the human eye because it uses a sensor close to the (light wavelength sensitivity felt by the human eye) visibility. It also does not include the environmental destruction substances such as cadmium.

Characteristics of products' photosensor

Figure 5: Sensitivity of photosensor we use is very close to that of human eye.

In addition, automatic lights in the following environment illuminance is about 10 lux (immediately after evening), it automatically turns off when it comes to about 50 lux (immediately after sunrise).

Answer: Usually from the date of the installed and operation, but a few days after installation it may take some time to charge.
Capacitor self leak will increase when a long period of time has been allowed to stand for a capacitor.
This phenomenon is overcome by repeating several times charging and discharging, then it becomes a stable operation.

Answer: Night during cloudy weather we are also devised to be lit, but there is a limit on the performance.
In extremely dark conditions, even in the case of winter sunshine time is short and rainy weather, such as day there are times when it does not light up.
Sunlight of goods has become a generally following design so please refer to.
Fully rechargeable sunshine conditions: during the day 20,000 lux for 10 hours or more charge can be environment.
...... This corresponds to the time of the summer of cloudy weather.
In the following sunshine conditions above, or shorten the lighting time, in extreme cases may not light up.
Direct illumination of the time ...... fine weather as the reason is more than 100 000 lux, but why is that illuminance only obtained about one of the light energy of about 5 thousand lux and 20 minutes in the rain.

Answer: The receiving and light emitting surface (upper case) full I am a projection provided with slip resistance (slip resistance more than 40).
In addition, since we have small corners taper of the exposed portion (1mm) step between the ground is small, it is safe.

Answer: I think that may if you can observe the construction conditions notes of instruction manual.
Product groups of Sunlight has pursue "ease of construction."

Answer: Since receiving and light emitting surface sediment in (upper case) you will not be able to charge to ride leaves or accumulation, please remove.
After construction, you might when another installation products or growth branches of trees are located close to can not be charged as well.
Others, Please fully read the instruction manual.

Answer: It is the right and left by installed is environment and construction conditions, expected life if you're the environment and conditions will be assumed about 10 years.
