FAQs
How long do the lights stay on each night?
The duration the lights stay on depends on the amount of sunlight they absorb during the day. Typically, they can provide illumination for several hours after dusk, usually between 6 to 10 hours under optimal sunny conditions.
Do I need to turn these lights on and off manually?
No, these lights feature an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor. They will turn on automatically when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light again.
What is the best way to position the lights for maximum charging?
Position the lights in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight each day. Avoid shaded spots from trees, buildings, or other structures.
Can these lights be used in the rain?
Yes, these lights are designed for outdoor use and are typically weather-resistant to withstand rain and other outdoor conditions.
How do I clean the solar panel?
Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the panel's surface.
What should I do if the lights stop working after a few months?
First, ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving adequate sunlight. If the problem persists, the rechargeable battery inside may need replacing. Consult your product manual for specific instructions on battery replacement.
Are these lights bright enough to illuminate an entire large area?
These lights are primarily designed for accent lighting and pathway marking. For illuminating very large or entirely dark areas, you may need multiple lights or a more powerful lighting solution.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Clean the solar panel with a damp cloth. Check that the light is not obstructed by shadows or other objects during the day. Verify that the unit is not switched off (if applicable) and allow a full charging cycle.
Light is dim or does not stay on for long.
This typically indicates insufficient charging. Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. If the issue persists after several days of optimal charging, the battery may need replacement (check product manual for battery type and replacement procedure).
Light turns on during the day.
The light's sensor may be faulty or obstructed. Ensure there are no artificial lights (like porch lights) shining directly onto the sensor at dusk, which can confuse it. If the problem continues, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the desired location for each light, ensuring it receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day.
- Most deck lights have an integrated stake or mounting mechanism. Insert the stake firmly into the ground or soil beside the deck edge, pathway, or patio. For deck installations, ensure the stake is securely positioned to prevent movement.
- The lights are designed to be automatically activated by a light sensor. No manual switches are typically required for daily operation.
Compatibility:
- These lights are designed for outdoor use and are compatible with most common garden surfaces like soil, grass, and wood decking.
- Ensure placement away from sources that might cast shadows during daylight hours, which could impede charging.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or pollen. This ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient charging. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: Check periodically that the lights are positioned correctly and that the solar panels are clean and unobstructed. Ensure the ground around any stakes remains firm.
