FAQs
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
Typically, the light will operate for several hours after a full day's charge. Actual duration can vary based on sunlight intensity and weather conditions.
Do I need to turn the light on and off manually?
No, the light has an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor, so it will turn on when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.
What is the best way to clean the solar panel?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the panel surface and reduce its efficiency.
Can I use this light in a shaded area?
While it can be placed in a shaded area for decorative purposes, it will not charge effectively and may not illuminate at night. For optimal performance, direct sunlight is required.
What happens in winter or during cloudy days?
Performance will be reduced during winter or on cloudy days due to less available sunlight. It is recommended to store the light indoors during prolonged periods of low sunlight or harsh weather.
Is the green colour permanent?
Yes, the light emits a fixed green colour. The colour is part of the product's design and cannot be changed.
