6. Troubleshooting
If your Gebosun Solar Street Light is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
- Light does not turn on at night:
- Ensure the solar panel is receiving sufficient direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours during the day.
- Check for any obstructions (e.g., leaves, dirt) on the solar panel.
- Verify that the light has had an initial full charge.
- Confirm there are no external light sources (e.g., other street lights) interfering with the dusk-to-dawn sensor.
- Light is dim or does not stay on all night:
- Insufficient charging due to cloudy weather or inadequate sun exposure.
- The solar panel may be dirty; clean it as described in the Maintenance section.
- Battery capacity may have degraded over time.
- Light flickers:
- Check all connections to ensure they are secure.
- Ensure the solar panel is not partially shaded, causing intermittent charging.
