Does this light require batteries?

Can I use this light indoors?
This product is designed for outdoor use and requires direct sunlight for charging. It is not intended for indoor use.
How do I clean the solar panel?
Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface.
What happens on cloudy days?
On cloudy days, the solar panel will still collect some energy, but charging will be less efficient. The light may not be as bright or may last for a shorter period.
Is the dragonfly design durable?
The design is hand-painted and intended for outdoor decoration. While reasonably durable, it's best to protect it from extreme weather conditions for longevity.
Can I replace the solar panel or battery?

Troubleshooting
Light not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the light sensor is not blocked by shadows or debris. Verify the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Clean the solar panel.
Light is dim or lasts for a short period
The stake may not be getting enough direct sunlight. Reposition it to a sunnier location. Clean the solar panel, as dirt can reduce its charging efficiency. The battery may need time to fully charge after initial setup or after a period of low light.
Stake is unstable in the ground
Gently push the stake further into soft ground or use a stake stabilizer if the ground is hard or windy conditions are frequent.
