Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The nightly run
time is short.
The battery is not fully charged.
Ensure that the solar light is located in an area where
it can receive the maximum amount of full, direct
sunlight every day. Keeping the solar panel clean is
equally important to ensure the maximum charging
performance.
The battery is reaching the end of its
useful life.
Replace the old battery with 3.7V Lithium ion
rechargeable battery.
The solar light
does not turn on
at night.
The solar light is set to OFF.
Your solar light is equipped with a 3-way selector
(ON+PIR, OFF, PIR) on the back of top cap. The
selector must be set to ON+PIR or PIR prior to use.
The solar light is installed close to other
light sources, which may keep the solar
light from turning on at night
automatically.
Relocate the fixture or eliminate other light sources.
