Operating Instructions
For optimal performance, ensure the solar panel receives sufficient direct sunlight.
- Initial Use: Before the first use, charge the solar panel by exposing it to direct sunlight for at least 12 hours. This ensures the battery has enough power stored.
- Charging: The solar panel absorbs sunlight and stores electricity when the light switch is in the 'ON' position during the day.
- Automatic Operation: The lights will automatically turn on when it gets dark at night and turn off when it's bright during the day.
- Working Time: A full charge provides approximately 6-10 hours of continuous illumination.

Important Notes for Solar Panel Placement:
- The solar panel must be placed in an area that receives direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily.
- Do not place the solar panel in shaded areas, under glass, or near other light sources (e.g., streetlights) at night, as this may prevent proper charging or cause the lights to turn off prematurely.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Battery Care: The integrated battery is designed for long-term use. If the lights' performance diminishes over time, ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight.
- Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, ensure the battery is fully charged before storage. Store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
- Lights do not turn on at night:
- Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Verify the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for 6-8 hours during the day.
- Check if the solar panel is placed near other strong light sources at night, which might trick the sensor into thinking it's still daytime.
- Allow for a full 12-hour initial charge if it's the first time using the product or after prolonged storage.
- Lights are dim or only stay on for a short time:
- The solar panel might not be getting enough direct sunlight. Relocate it to a sunnier spot.
- The solar panel surface might be dirty. Clean it regularly.
- The battery might not be fully charged due to insufficient sunlight or cloudy weather. Allow more charging time.
User Tips
- For best results, install the solar panel facing south (in the Northern Hemisphere) to maximize sun exposure throughout the day.
- Consider the aesthetic placement of the bee lights. They look great intertwined with plants, along fences, or draped over outdoor structures.
- During winter months or periods of extended cloudy weather, the charging efficiency may be reduced. The lights might not stay on as long.
