FAQs
How long does the Milagro Flame Solar Lamp stay lit?
The duration depends on the amount of sunlight the lamp receives during the day. Typically, a full charge from direct sunlight can provide illumination for 6-8 hours.
Does this lamp require wiring?
No, the Milagro Flame Solar Lamp is entirely solar-powered and does not require any electrical wiring.
What is the purpose of the decorative pattern?
The decorative pattern, along with the internal diffusing structure, creates a subtle and calming light effect, enhancing the ambiance of your garden or pathway.
Is this lamp suitable for all weather conditions?
The lamp has an IP44 rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water and solid objects. It is designed for outdoor use but may perform less effectively during prolonged periods of heavy rain or very short winter days.
How do I maintain the lamp for best performance?
Regularly clean the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal charging. Ensure the lamp is positioned to receive maximum direct sunlight.

Can I use this lamp to light up a large area?
This lamp is designed for subtle accent and pathway lighting. For large area illumination, multiple lamps would be required, or a different lighting solution may be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the ON/OFF switch (if applicable) is in the 'ON' position. Verify the lamp has had sufficient sunlight to charge throughout the day. Test by covering the solar panel to simulate darkness.
Lamp has a short operating time.
The lamp may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Relocate it to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel, as dirt or debris can significantly reduce charging efficiency. Ensure the battery is properly seated and functioning.
Inconsistent lighting or flickering.
This can be caused by intermittent sunlight or a weakening battery. Ensure the solar panel is clean and the lamp is in a consistently sunny location. If the lamp is old, the rechargeable battery may need replacement (consult manufacturer if possible).
Lamp is loose or unstable in the ground.
Gently remove the lamp and re-insert the stake, ensuring it is pushed deeper into firmer soil. If the soil is very soft, consider using a small amount of gravel around the base of the stake for added stability.
