Troubleshooting

Ensure the solar panel has been exposed to sufficient direct sunlight for charging. Check that the area is dark enough for the light sensor to activate. Clean the solar panel if it appears dirty.
Light is dim or does not stay on long.
The battery may not be fully charged. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot or ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed. The rechargeable battery may need replacement if it's old.
