Maintenance
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. A clean panel ensures optimal charging efficiency.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or structures block direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel throughout the day.
- Battery Care: While the lights use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, prolonged periods of low light or storage may reduce battery life. If storing for an extended time, fully charge the lights and store them in a cool, dry place.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the lights for any physical damage, loose connections, or signs of wear.
