FAQs
Can I leave these lights out during winter?
Yes, they are weather-resistant, though extremely harsh conditions or heavy snowfall may impact performance.
How long do they stay lit?
With a full day of direct sunlight charging the 800mAh battery, they are designed to provide illumination throughout the night.
Do I need to turn them on manually?
No, they have an automatic sensor that handles on/off switching based on ambient light levels.
Are the batteries replaceable?
The units are designed as a sealed system; they are not intended for user-serviceable battery replacement.
Can I put them in pots or containers?
Yes, as long as the soil depth in the pot is sufficient to support the stake securely.
What happens if a light stops working?
Check that the solar panel is clean and that the stake is not blocked by overhanging foliage or deep shadows.
Troubleshooting
Lights are not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is not positioned near a secondary light source like a streetlamp or porch light, as this can confuse the light sensor. Also, verify that the panel is receiving enough direct sunlight during the day.
Lights are flickering or dim
The battery may be low due to lack of sun. Place the lights in a brighter area for 48 hours to ensure a full charge cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, select a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Simply assemble the stake to the base of the mushroom light and press it firmly into soft soil or turf. If the ground is hard, water the area first to loosen the soil before inserting the stake to avoid damaging the plastic housing. For care, keep the solar panels free of dirt, leaves, and snow by wiping them periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the solar cell surface and reduce charging efficiency.
