What’s In The Box
The standard i100 (2xWM) comes with:
The i100 unit with a built-in 8Ah lithium (LiPo) battery
A 40W solar panel
Two wall-mounted LED lights
The unit can run up to four lights, so you can add more later.
Lights And Charging
Each LED light has two brightness settings. It uses 0.6W on dim and 3.5W on full. To change the setting, flick the light’s switch off and on again. Dim mode is useful at night when you want the battery to last longer.
The two USB ports share 2A, so you can charge one device at 2A or two at 1A each. That’s enough for most phones and tablets.
If there’s no sun for a few days, the unit can also be charged from an 18 to 20V 2A mains adapter, which we supply. It’s the same adapter that comes with the i100 EBL.
