•
Other light sources: If your solar lights are located too close to a street light,
porch light or another solar light, it may not turn on automatically at night.
The built-in photocell light sensor is reacting to the other light source.
Eliminate the other light source or relocate your solar lights.
•
Dirty solar panel: A dirty solar panel will not allow the batteries to fully charge.
This will shorten the life of the batteries and cause the light to malfunction.
Clean regularly with a dampened cloth or paper towel.
After correcting the problem, check the light operation immediately after dark or in a
dark room. If the light will only operate for a short time, the batteries need
recharging.
