Performance Notes

• The duration of illumination (typically 8 to 10 hours) depends on geographical location, weather conditions, and seasonal sunlight availability.
• Extreme cold weather can significantly impact battery capacity and light duration.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Regularly wipe the top solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. This ensures efficient solar charging.
• Clean the glass panels as needed to maintain light output.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or solar panels.

Battery Replacement

• The rechargeable Ni-MH AA 1.2V 2300mAh batteries have a lifespan of approximately 2 years.
• If the light duration significantly decreases or the brightness becomes dim, it may be time to replace the batteries.

• Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
