FAQs

How long do the lights stay on?

In spring and summer, with sufficient sunlight, the lights are designed to provide up to 8 hours of illumination each evening.

Are these lights suitable for all weather conditions?

The lights are IP44 rated, which means they are protected against splashing water and are suitable for outdoor use. However, for longevity, it is recommended to bring them indoors during harsh winter conditions.

What type of bulbs do they use?

They use LED bulbs, which are energy-efficient.

How tall are the solar stakes?

Each stake stands at 750 MM (75cm) tall once inserted into the ground.

Do I need to assemble them?

Yes, assembly is required. You will need to slot the two stake sections together and attach the creature cap.

Can I replace the solar panel or batteries?

The product is designed with integrated solar panels and typically comes with rechargeable batteries. While batteries may eventually need replacement, specific instructions for this product's model would need to be checked. Contact the manufacturer for details on battery replacement if issues arise.

Will they work on cloudy days?

They will still charge on cloudy days, but the charging efficiency will be reduced, potentially leading to shorter illumination times or dimmer lights at night.

Troubleshooting

Lights are not turning on at night.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from dirt or obstructions. Verify that the light is placed in an area that receives direct sunlight for a minimum of 6-8 hours per day. Check if the ON/OFF switch (if applicable) is set to the 'ON' position. If recently unpacked, allow the stake to charge in sunlight for a full day before expecting it to light up.

Lights are dim or not staying on for long.

The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Relocate the stake to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel as dirt can significantly reduce charging efficiency. Batteries may need replacing if the product is old; consult the manufacturer for battery type and replacement instructions.

Stake is unstable in the ground.

Ensure the stake is inserted into firm soil. If the soil is loose, consider adding a small amount of water to compact it slightly around the stake, or use additional support if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To assemble, simply take the two stake sections and slot them together firmly. Once the stake is assembled, attach your chosen creature cap. Then, insert the assembled stake into your lawn or soil to the desired depth, ensuring the solar panel is facing upwards.

Compatibility: These lights are designed for outdoor garden use. Ensure the location chosen receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily for optimal solar charging. They are compatible with most soil types.

Care: Clean the solar panel regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris, which can affect charging efficiency. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. The stakes themselves can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary. During winter months or periods of prolonged darkness, it is advisable to bring the stakes indoors to protect them from harsh weather conditions.
