FAQs
Do these lights come with batteries?
Yes, the lights include integrated rechargeable batteries that are powered by the solar panel during the day.
Can I leave these out during winter?
While the finish is weather-resistant, it is highly recommended to store them indoors during harsh winters to prevent damage from heavy snow or extreme freezing conditions.
How deep should I insert the stake?
You should insert the stake deep enough that the bottom of the light housing is just above the soil line for stability.
Do I need to charge them before the first use?
Yes, it is recommended to leave the lights in a sunny spot for at least 8-12 hours before their first night of use to ensure the battery is fully initialized.
Are the batteries replaceable?
These units are designed as a sealed, low-maintenance set; replacing internal batteries is generally not supported.
Can I use these lights near a swimming pool?
While the finish is weather-resistant, direct exposure to pool chemicals or constant heavy splashing may damage the finish over time.
Troubleshooting
Lights will not turn on at night
Ensure the lights are not placed near strong artificial light sources (like porch lights) which may trick the sensor, and verify they received sufficient direct sunlight during the day.
Lights are dim or stay on for a very short time
Check that the solar panel is free of dirt, bird droppings, or shade from nearby trees or structures. If the issue persists, the battery may need more time to charge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the assembly is firmly connected to the stake and push the spike into soft, damp, or loosened soil. Do not hammer the light into hard ground, as this may damage the stake or internal components. Compatibility is limited to soft outdoor surfaces; they are not intended for use on decks, stone, or concrete unless a separate mounting bracket is utilized. To care for your lights, clean the solar panel surface with a slightly damp cloth every few weeks to prevent dust buildup. If you are storing the lights during the winter, remove them from the ground and store them in a cool, dry place to prolong the battery lifespan.
