FAQs

How long does the light stay on?

The duration the light stays on depends on the amount of sunlight it received during the day. Typically, a full day's charge allows it to illuminate for several hours after sunset.

Do I need to turn it on/off manually?

No, this lamp is designed with an automatic light sensor. It will turn on when it detects darkness and turn off when it detects light (like at dawn).

What is the 'welcome' sign made of?

The 'welcome' sign is part of the decorative design, integrated with the bird and foliage detailing, typically made from weather-resistant materials suitable for outdoor display.

Can I replace the solar battery?

Many solar-powered lights have rechargeable batteries. Consult your product manual for specific instructions on battery replacement, or contact customer support for guidance.

Is this light waterproof?

While designed for outdoor use, it is generally water-resistant. Avoid prolonged submersion in water. Ensure any drainage holes are clear of debris.

What are the dimensions of the lamp post?

Specific dimensions will vary, please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's specifications for exact measurements.

Will this light work on cloudy days?

It will still charge on cloudy days, but the charge may be less efficient, potentially resulting in a shorter or dimmer illumination period at night compared to sunny days.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on at night.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check if the switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify that the area is dark enough for the light sensor to activate.

Light is dim or does not last long.

The solar panel may not be getting enough direct sunlight. Reposition the lamp to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel as it might be covered in dirt or debris. The battery may need more time to charge, especially after prolonged periods of low sunlight.

Decorative elements appear faded.

Over time, outdoor elements can cause fading. Ensure the lamp is not constantly exposed to harsh UV rays if fading is a significant concern, though this is a natural process for outdoor decor.

Water or moisture inside the lamp.

Check for any visible cracks or seals that may be compromised. If possible, allow the unit to dry thoroughly in the sun. Contact customer support if persistent moisture is an issue, as it may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Care:
