Charging: The built-in 1.2V, 600mAh Ni-MH battery charges during the day (4-6 hours for a full charge) via the solar panel.
Lighting Duration: A full charge provides 10-12 hours of illumination at night.
Lighting Modes: You can select between two lighting modes:
- Steady On: For a constant glow.
- Flash: For a dynamic, twinkling effect.
To switch modes, use the slide switch located on the underside of the solar panel.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solar lights, follow these maintenance tips:

Cleaning the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient sunlight absorption and charging.
Battery Care: The built-in Ni-MH battery is designed for long-term use. If the lights' performance significantly decreases over time, the battery may need replacement. Refer to the manufacturer for compatible replacement batteries.
Winter Storage: During prolonged periods of low sunlight or harsh winter conditions, you may choose to bring the lights indoors. Clean them thoroughly and store them in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

If your solar lights are not functioning as expected, try the following solutions:

Lights Not Turning On:
- Ensure the power switch on the solar panel is in the 'ON' or 'FLASH' position.
- Verify the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours during the day.
- Check for any obstructions (e.g., leaves, dirt) on the solar panel and clean it if necessary.
- Test the lights in a completely dark environment to ensure the light sensor is not detecting ambient light.
Short Lighting Duration:
- The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot.
- The solar panel might be dirty. Clean it as described in the Maintenance section.
- The battery may not be fully charged due to insufficient sunlight or an aging battery.
