Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly set up your solar path lights:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Each light unit consists of a light head (with solar panel), a pole, and a ground stake.
- Assemble the Light: Attach the pole to the light head by twisting it securely. Then, attach the ground stake to the bottom of the pole. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Activate the Light: Locate the ON/OFF switch, usually found under the solar panel or inside the light head. Switch it to the "ON" position.
- Choose Location: Select an outdoor location where the solar panel can receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid areas shaded by trees, buildings, or other obstructions, as this will affect charging efficiency.
- Install in Ground: Gently push the assembled light into the ground using the ground stake. Do not force the light into hard soil; if the ground is too firm, pre-dig a small hole to avoid damaging the stake or light.

Operating Instructions
Your Pure Garden Solar Path Lights are designed for automatic operation:
- Automatic On/Off: Once activated and placed in a sunny location, the lights will automatically charge during the day and turn on at dusk. They will turn off at dawn or when the battery is depleted.
- Initial Charge: For best results, allow the lights to charge for a full 24-48 hours in direct sunlight before their first use. This ensures the rechargeable battery reaches its full capacity.
- Run Time: A full charge typically provides up to 6 hours of cool white light, depending on the amount of sunlight received during the day.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your solar lights:
- Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption for efficient charging.
- Battery Replacement: The lights use a rechargeable 1 AA 1.2V 600 mAh Ni-MH battery. If the light duration significantly decreases after prolonged use, the battery may need replacement. To replace, carefully open the light head, remove the old battery, and insert a new one of the same specifications, observing polarity.
- Seasonal Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or in harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to store the lights indoors. Ensure the battery is fully charged before storage and recharge it every few months to maintain battery health.
Troubleshooting
If your solar path lights are not functioning as expected, consider the following:
- Light Does Not Turn On:
- Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
- Verify the light is receiving adequate direct sunlight for charging. Relocate if necessary.
- Check if the battery is properly installed and making contact. Consider replacing the battery if it's old.
- Ensure there are no external light sources (e.g., streetlights, porch lights) near the solar light that might trigger its light sensor to keep it off.
- Light Duration is Short:
- The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Clean the panel and ensure it's in an unshaded location.
- The battery may not be fully charged or may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Allow for a full day's charge or replace the battery.
- Weather conditions (overcast days) can reduce charging efficiency.
- Light is Dim:
- Similar to short duration, this often indicates insufficient charging or a weakening battery.
- Ensure the light's lens is clean and free from dirt or condensation.
