MAINTENANCE
The LED lights in your Solar Post Cap Light
s
will last up to 30,000 hours and
should never need replacement.
Keep your Solar Post Cap Lights looking new by wiping them occasionally with a dry
cloth or with warm soapy water. Dirty solar panels prevent the batteries from charging
well,
shorten the life of the batteries
,
and may cause the light
s
to malfunction.
Light will not
switch on.
•
Ensure that the battery has been fully charged in direct
sunlight for a full sunny day. Artificial light will not
charge the battery. Your light must charge in sunlight.
•
•
Check to see that the solar panel receives 6-8 hours of
sunlight per day to allow the batte
ry
to charge fully.
•
Check to see that the Solar Post Cap light is not near
nighttime light sources such as streetlights or porch
lights.
Light turns on
during the daytime
The photosensor may be covered or in shadow. Be
sure nothing covers the Solar Post Cap Light so the
photosensor can determine the proper time to turn the
light on.
Light is not as
bright as normal
Battery charge may be low. Check to make sure the
solar panel is not covered and that the light is receiving
8 hours of sunlight. Give it a full sunny day to recharge.
Check and make sure the power button (under the cap)
is on.
Check the outside temperature. The light may not work
well when temperatures are well below freezing. It will
work when temperatures warm up.
