Operating Instructions
Once installed and switched to "ON", your IkeeRuic Solar Torch Lights will operate automatically:
- Daytime Charging: The integrated solar panel will absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, storing it in the internal NiMH battery.
- Automatic Illumination: An intelligent light sensor detects when ambient light levels drop (at dusk), and the torch lights will automatically turn on, displaying their flickering flame effect.
- Automatic Shut-off: At dawn, when sufficient light is detected, the torch lights will automatically turn off and begin recharging for the next night.
- Working Time: Expect 6-8 hours of illumination in summer and 4-6 hours in winter after a full charge. Actual working time may vary based on sunlight exposure and weather conditions.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solar torch lights, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure that no trees, bushes, or structures are shading the solar panel, especially during peak sunlight hours.
- Weather Considerations: While waterproof, extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, prolonged rain) can impact performance. During prolonged periods of adverse weather, you may consider bringing the lights indoors to protect them.
- Battery Life: The included NiMH battery is rechargeable. Over time, battery performance may decrease. If lights are not holding a charge, the battery may need replacement.

Troubleshooting
If your solar torch lights are not functioning as expected, please try the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Switch is OFF. Insufficient sunlight for charging. Solar panel is dirty. Battery is depleted or faulty. | Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position. Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. Allow several days of full sun charging. If problem persists, consider replacing the battery. |
| Light duration is short. | Insufficient charging time. Battery capacity reduced due to age or cold weather. | Ensure the light receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Battery performance naturally decreases over time and in colder temperatures. Consider replacing the battery if significantly reduced. |
| Flickering effect is inconsistent. | Low battery charge. Internal component issue. | Ensure full charge. If problem persists after charging, contact customer support. |
