FAQs
Do these lights require batteries?
No, these lights are solar-powered and charge using sunlight, eliminating the need for batteries.
How long do the lights stay on each night?
The duration depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel receives during the day. On a full charge, they typically last throughout the night, but performance can vary with weather conditions and daylight hours.
What are the dimensions of each lamp post?
Each lamp post has a diameter of 7.5 cm and a height of 48 cm.
Can I control when the lights turn on and off manually?
Yes, each light has an 'ON/OFF' switch that allows you to manually turn them off when desired, conserving charge or when not in use.
Are these lights waterproof?
While designed for outdoor use, it's recommended to protect them from prolonged extreme weather conditions. Ensure they are securely placed to prevent water pooling around the base.
How many lights come in a set?
You can choose from sets containing 1, 2, 4, or 6 lamps.
What kind of effect do the lights produce?
The lights have a flickering fire/flame effect, designed to create a warm and inviting ambiance.
Troubleshooting
Lights are not turning on at night.
Ensure the 'ON/OFF' switch is set to 'ON'. Check that the solar panel is clean and has received sufficient direct sunlight during the day for charging. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot if necessary.
Lights are dim or do not last long.
The solar panel may be dirty or obstructed. Clean the panel and ensure it's in direct sunlight. Battery may be old and losing capacity; consider replacing the unit if it is several years old.
Lights turn on during the day.
The light sensor may be faulty or obstructed. Ensure the solar panel is not covered by anything. If the problem persists, the sensor might need replacement.
Plastic spike is weak or breaks.
Avoid forcing the spike into very hard or rocky ground. Pre-digging a small hole or softening the soil with water can help. If broken, consider using a more robust ground stake or a different method of support.

- Gently push the plastic spike at the bottom of each lamp post into the ground until it is securely in place.
Compatibility:

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the solar panel on top with a soft, damp cloth periodically to remove dust and debris, ensuring maximum sunlight absorption. Clean the plastic lamp body with a mild soap and water solution if necessary.
- Maintenance: Ensure the on/off switch is set to 'ON' for automatic operation. If the lights are not illuminating, check the on/off switch and ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving sunlight. In winter months or prolonged periods of low sunlight, you may wish to turn the lights off to conserve battery charge.
