FAQs
How long do the lights stay on after a full charge?
Typically, a full day's charge will provide 6-8 hours of illumination, but this can vary depending on the amount of sunlight received and ambient temperature.
Do I need to turn these lights on and off manually?
No, the lights feature an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor. They will turn on automatically when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.
Can these lights be used in the rain?
Yes, the lights are designed for outdoor use and are weather-resistant. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions should be avoided.
How many lights are included in the pack?
This is a 6 pack, so you will receive six solar flame stake lights.
What is the effect of the LEDs?
The LEDs produce a warm white light with a flickering effect designed to mimic a real candle flame.
What are the dimensions of each light stake?
Each stake measures approximately 45cm in height and 25cm in width, referring to the overall spread and height when staked.
Do these lights require batteries?
No, these are solar-powered lights. They contain a rechargeable battery that is charged by the sun during the day.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check if the switch is in the 'on' position. Allow the unit to charge for a full day. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement (if applicable/user-replaceable).
Lights are dim or do not stay on for long.
The solar panel may be dirty or obstructed, preventing adequate charging. Clean the solar panel. Ensure the lights are placed in an area with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Battery performance can degrade over time; consider replacing the rechargeable battery if it's old.
Lights flicker erratically.
This is often the intended 'flame effect'. If the flickering is excessive or irregular, ensure the solar panel is clean and charging properly. Loose connections within the unit could also cause this.
Stake is difficult to insert into the ground.
Soften the ground with water before attempting to stake. If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider an alternative location or using a small mallet to gently tap the stake in.
