- The light will automatically turn off at dawn or when the battery is depleted.
Manual Control
Check for a small ON/OFF switch, usually located near the solar panel or on the light head. Ensure this switch is in the "ON" position for automatic operation. If the light is not working, verify this switch's position.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar LED spot light.
