Workshop Lights Installation

Step 1: Choose Your Solar Panel Location

1. Find a location on either the roof or the side of your shipping container that receives maximum sunlight throughout the day.
2. Ensure the location allows the wire to easily reach the interior of your container where you plan to hang the lights.

Step 2: Mount the Solar Panel

1. Hold the mounting bracket against the container at your chosen location.
2. Using a power drill and the provided hardware (screws), secure the bracket firmly into the container shell.
3. Attach the solar panel to the bracket.
4. Pro-Tip: Utilize the built-in adjustable range on the bracket to angle the panel directly toward the sun for optimal year-round charging.

Step 3: Route the Wiring Into the Container

1. Drill a small hole through the roof or the side of the container near the mounted solar panel.
2. Feed the solar panel’s power wire through the hole and into the interior of the container.
3. CRITICAL STEP: To prevent leaks and weather damage, completely seal the drilled hole from the outside using a standard exterior-grade silicone sealant or caulk.

Step 4: Mount and Connect the Workshop Lights

1. Take the two interior workshop lights inside the container.
2. For maximum brightness and coverage, it is recommended to mount the lights along the vertical axis of your container's ceiling/walls.

Plug the solar panel wire directly into the corresponding connectors on the lights.

Step 1: Cut the Access Hole

1. Select an accessible exterior location on your shipping container wall near where you plan to draw power.
2. Equipping a power drill with a 2-inch hole saw (circle cutter), drill straight through the steel container wall to create a clean pass-through opening.
3. Deburr and smooth out any sharp edges around the newly cut 2-inch circle.

Step 2: Feed and Align the Socket

1. From the outside of the container, feed the integrated power wire attachment tail-first completely through the 2-inch hole and into the container interior.
2. Push the power inlet housing forward until the integrated rubber waterproofing gasket sits flat and flush against the exterior steel container wall.
3. Level the socket face vertically to your exact preference.

Step 3: Fasten and Tighten the Hardware

1. Locate the three pre-molded mounting holes surrounding the perimeter of the inlet housing.
2. Using a power drill, drive three heavy-duty self-tapping screws directly through the mounting holes and into the container steel.
3. CRITICAL STEP: Tighten the three screws completely snug. This firmly compresses the built-in rubber face gasket against the corrugated steel wall, generating an airtight, completely waterproof seal that blocks out rain, moisture, and pests without needing extra caulk.

Step 4: Hook Up Your Power Source

1. On the Outside: Flip open the protective spring-loaded exterior cover, insert any standard household extension cord running from your primary power source, and close the outer shroud as far as possible over the connection.
2. On the Inside: Walk into the container and locate the wire attachment you fed through in Step 2. You can now immediately plug in any traditional 3-prong device, power strip, or tool directly into this internal line.
