FAQs
Are these lights waterproof?
Yes, these lights are designed for outdoor use and can withstand typical rain and weather conditions.
Can I replace the batteries?
The solar units are designed as a sealed, integrated system. Replacing internal batteries is not recommended as it may compromise the weather-tight seal.
How deep should I plant the stakes?
The stakes should be inserted deep enough so that the unit is stable in the ground, usually with the main fluted body sitting just above soil level.
Do I need to turn them on manually?
No, the internal light sensors automatically manage the switching process once the initial setup is complete.
How many units come in a box?
This specific package includes 6 individual solar stake lights.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on at night
Check if the unit is located near other light sources like street lamps or porch lights which may be tricking the sensor into thinking it is still daytime.
Short runtime at night
Ensure the solar panel is free of dirt or debris and is receiving maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.
Light appears dim
During cloudy or overcast days, the solar panels receive less charge, which is normal. The battery will regain brightness once a full sunny day is achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Choose a spot that is free from shade cast by walls, trees, or roof overhangs to maximize solar energy absorption.
Installation: Gently loosen the soil before inserting the stake; if the ground is exceptionally hard, use a trowel to create a pilot hole to prevent damage to the plastic housing.
Initial Charge: It is recommended to leave the lights in the 'Off' position or let them charge for a full 48 hours of direct sunlight before their first night of use.
Maintenance: Periodically wipe the solar panel surfaces with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust, pollen, or debris that might block sunlight. Check the stakes seasonally to ensure they have not shifted or become tilted due to heavy rainfall.
