FAQs
Do I need to wire this light to my home's electricity?
No, the Elois solar luminaire is powered by a rechargeable battery that charges via its integrated solar panel, so no electrical wiring is needed.
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
A fully charged battery typically provides approximately 8-10 hours of lighting duration.
What is the light's color temperature?
The LED emits a warm white light with a color temperature of 3000 Kelvin.
Is this light suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the luminaire has an IP44 rating, making it weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use, protecting against splashing water and small solid objects.
How do I clean the solar panel?
Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Can I replace the LED bulb?
No, the fitting type is 'Non-changeable bulb(s)', meaning the LED is integrated and not designed for user replacement.
What happens if it's cloudy for several days?
If there is insufficient sunlight for charging over multiple days, the battery charge will deplete, and the light may not function or will have a significantly reduced runtime until sufficient sunlight is available.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check if the 'On/Off' switch is in the 'On' position. Allow the battery to charge for a full day cycle.
Motion sensor is not activating the brighter light.
Verify that the motion sensor is not blocked by any obstructions. Ensure the luminaire is placed in an area where the sensor has a clear line of sight. Check for sufficient battery charge.
Dim light output or short duration.
The solar panel may be dirty or shaded. Clean the solar panel and ensure it's exposed to direct sunlight. The battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan if the unit is several years old and has been exposed to prolonged suboptimal charging conditions.
Light turns on during the day.
This is not typical behavior. Ensure no reflective surfaces are confusing the light sensor. If the problem persists, the unit may have an internal fault.
