Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CLY Solar Landscape Spotlights, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Clean Spotlights: Periodically clean the spotlight lenses to maintain light output and clarity.
- Check Connections: Ensure all cable connections remain secure and waterproof caps are tightly sealed, especially after heavy rain or extreme weather.
- Weather Resistance: The lights are IP66 waterproof and designed to withstand frost and heat. However, during extreme weather conditions like severe storms or prolonged heavy snow, it is advisable to temporarily store them indoors if possible to extend their lifespan.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your CLY Solar Landscape Spotlights, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar panel charging; solar panel is dirty or obstructed; battery is low or depleted; switch is off. | Ensure solar panel is in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours. Clean the solar panel. Check if the main switch on the battery box is ON. Allow a full day of charging. |
| Lights are dim or only stay on for a short period. | Insufficient charging due to cloudy weather or poor panel placement; battery degradation over time; high brightness setting draining battery faster. | Relocate solar panel to a sunnier spot. Reduce brightness setting (e.g., to Low for 20h duration). Allow several sunny days for full charge. |
| Remote control is not working. | Remote battery is dead; remote is too far from the receiver; obstruction between remote and receiver. | Replace the remote control battery. Ensure you are within effective range and there are no major obstructions. |
| Lights flicker or behave erratically. | Loose cable connections; water ingress in connections; faulty unit. | Check all cable connections and ensure they are tightly sealed. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
