B&Q Outdoor Stake Light - Black

The duration the light stays on depends on the amount of sunlight it receives during the day. On a full charge, it typically illuminates for several hours after dusk.

Most solar lights have an automatic sensor that turns them on at dusk and off at dawn. Check your specific model for an on/off switch, which might be used for initial setup or during periods of storage.

Cloudy weather reduces the charging capability of the solar panel. Place the light in direct sunlight for a full day or two to allow the battery to recharge adequately.

This light is designed for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather might affect performance and longevity. It's advisable to bring it indoors during severe storms or heavy frost.

Battery replacement instructions vary by model. Consult the product manual for specific details on accessing and replacing the rechargeable battery. Often, a small Phillips head screwdriver is required.

The product is designed to withstand typical outdoor conditions, but it is not fully submersible. Avoid placing it in areas prone to flooding.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and free of obstructions. Check that the light is positioned in an area that receives sufficient direct sunlight during the day. Verify that the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Allow the light to charge for a full day before testing.

The battery may not be fully charging. This can be due to insufficient sunlight exposure, a dirty solar panel, or an aging battery. Clean the panel and ensure it receives 6-8 hours of direct sun. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement (if accessible).

This could indicate a poor connection or a low battery charge. Check that all parts of the stake are securely connected. Clean the solar panel and allow it to charge fully. If the problem continues, the battery might be nearing the end of its lifespan.
