Maintenance

• Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or snow. A clean panel ensures optimal charging efficiency.

• Weather Resistance: The lights are IP44 waterproof, designed to withstand sun, rain, snow, and wind. However, during extreme weather conditions (e.g., severe storms, blizzards), it is advisable to temporarily store them indoors to prevent potential damage.
