Screw the valve cap back on when done.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seat the LED module<\/strong> on top of the inflated stanchion and fully tighten the butterfly bolt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stand the unit upright<\/strong> in position. Secure the legs with ground pegs on grass or sandbags on hard surfaces. In wind, add the guide lines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place your battery in its bag<\/strong>, hang the bag on the hook under the stanchion, then run the battery cable. <strong>Brown = positive, Blue = negative.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Connect the battery cable to the LED module<\/strong> and fasten the screw cap. The light comes on the moment the connection is made \u2014 there is no separate switch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To pack up: reverse the steps, use the pump&#8217;s <strong>DEFLATE<\/strong> option to remove residual air, and slide the LED module into its protector cover before stowing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Where Ecowalker Light is used<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Youth clubs and academies<\/strong> running evening practice after school \u2014 one coach, one kit bag, full visibility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Summer camps and tournaments<\/strong> that need to light warm-up areas, registration tables, or secondary fields without running mains power.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backyard and driveway training<\/strong> for families whose kids don&#8217;t stop when the sun goes down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Facility operators<\/strong> as emergency or overflow lighting when primary rigs are down for service.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event and film production<\/strong> where a silent, portable, battery-powered soft light beats wheeling in a generator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Important safety notes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do not discard the inflated pocket protector<\/strong> that ships around the LED module. It&#8217;s part of the transit protection system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always tighten the butterfly bolt fully<\/strong> before operating. The LED module is heavier than it looks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use the battery bag.<\/strong> It keeps the sealed battery off the ground and insulated from what&#8217;s around it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure with guide lines in wind.<\/strong> The stanchion is inflatable \u2014 it catches the wind like any vertical structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guide lines are a trip hazard.<\/strong> Flag them or use cones in pedestrian areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always fully recharge after use.<\/strong> Sealed lead-acid batteries last significantly longer when not left discharged.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deflate before storage.<\/strong> Use the pump&#8217;s deflate option to remove residual air \u2014 stowing under pressure shortens fabric life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Why doesn&#8217;t Ecowalker Light come with a battery and charger?<\/strong><br \/>\nBatteries face strict international shipping restrictions \u2014 air freight hazmat rules, ocean freight delays, and customs holds. Including a battery typically adds $50-150 in shipping cost and 2-4 weeks of delay. Wall chargers have the same problem because voltage (110V vs 220V) and plug formats vary by country. The 12V 14Ah battery format is globally standard and available locally for $30-50, with a charger matched to your wall power. Local sourcing is faster, cheaper, and gets you the right charger for your country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What battery should I buy?<\/strong><br \/>\nA 12V 14Ah sealed lead-acid (SLA) or LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery. Both work with Ecowalker Light. SLA is cheaper ($30-50) and heavier; LiFePO4 is lighter and lasts longer but costs 2-3x more. Pair the battery with a matching 12V DC charger (don&#8217;t mix SLA and LiFePO4 chargers).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can I buy the battery?<\/strong><br \/>\nGlobally available at: automotive retailers (AutoZone, Halfords, etc.), Amazon, electronics stores, UPS \/ computer supply stores, marine equipment specialists, outdoor and camping suppliers. The 12V 14Ah format is one of the most common battery sizes in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Ecowalker Light waterproof?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2014 IP65 rated. The LED module and connections are rain and dust resistant, built for real outdoor deployment. Pack it away if conditions turn severe (heavy sustained rain or submersion risk).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does the battery last on one charge?<\/strong><br \/>\nRuntime depends on temperature, battery age, and how recently it was charged. A 14Ah battery typically powers the 40W system for 3\u20134 hours per charge. Always start sessions with a fully charged battery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I run Ecowalker Light from my car?<\/strong><br \/>\nOnly with caution. A car battery with the engine <strong>off<\/strong> is roughly 12.6V \u2014 safe. A running alternator can push 14.4V+, which exceeds Ecowalker Light&#8217;s safe range (14V max) and will damage the module. Use a dedicated 12V battery as recommended above. Contact us before rigging alternative power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I replace the battery myself?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2014 and you&#8217;ll do it once or twice over the system&#8217;s life. The 14Ah 12V format is standard, so end-of-life replacement (typically every 2\u20134 years for SLA, 5\u20138 years for LiFePO4) is straightforward and locally available. The product warranty excludes the battery itself but covers all other components.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many units do I need for a full soccer pitch?<\/strong><br \/>\nSix units in a standard formation cover a full-size pitch (approx. 100m \u00d7 65m) at 3.5m height. For training sessions on half a pitch or smaller areas, two to three units are typically sufficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is this a generator-style work light?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo. Work lights are designed for job sites \u2014 fixed position, mains power, bright but narrow beam. Ecowalker Light is designed for <strong>portable field use<\/strong>: freestanding inflatable support, battery-powered, wide 120\u00b0 diffuse coverage for play and training, IP65 weatherproofing, tournament-safe connectors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you offer volume pricing for clubs or camps?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. We manufacture Ecowalker Light in-house, so we can quote direct for clubs, camps, academies, and facility operators. Contact us with your quantity and deployment use-case.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Ready to order?<\/h3>\n<p>Add Ecowalker Light to your cart above, or <strong>contact us for volume pricing<\/strong> on camps, clubs, and facility orders.
