SOLAR  LIGHTS 

CARE AND USE INSTRUCTIONS

directly into or near the photocells, these lights may trigger the light sensor and 

the lights may turn off.  The photocell must sense darkness to operate.  

WINTERTIME TIPS

It is recommended that solar lights not be used in freezing conditions.  Monitor 

weather and take solar items indoors for storage as needed.  Keep snow or other 

buildup off the solar panels so that the batteries are able to recharge.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If solar lights fail to come on

1.  Be sure SWITCH on the back of the remote solar panel is turned to the “ON” 

position. 

2.  Check to be sure there are no obstructions over the photocell located on the 

top of solar panel. 

3.  Check to make sure that the battery(s) are installed correctly and there is 

nothing blocking the battery terminals from making contact. 

4.  Check to make sure the photocell is positioned to sense both daylight and 

night phase.  If bright lights shine near or into the photocell, these lights may 

trigger the light sensor and the lights may turn off. Bright lights can act like 

daylight and keep the system from starting.   

5.  Battery(s) may need to be changed and vary by use, temperature, weather 

conditions and heat. Replace batteries with the exact same type of 

rechargeable batteries. 

6.  Make sure the batteries are fully charged.  It is important to charge the 

battery(s) for 12 hours in full sun before usage.  Ensure the switch is in the 

“ON” position to charge the battery.  Cloudy or rainy days may require a 

longer charging time. 

7.  In some cases, you may have to open the battery compartment and “seat” the 

batteries correctly between metal clips as some dislodging may occur during 

the shipment, ensuring correct polarity (+) and (-). 

8.  Cloudy or rainy days generate far less charge on the solar panel and thus 

fewer hours of operation.  Prolonged cloudy or rainy days can affect 

performance dramatically.
