FAQ
What type of maintenance should I perform on the lights?
Although it is not mandatory, some people choose to periodically clean their lights. This can be done with a nonabrasive soap,
sponge and water. You may also need to replace the batteries.
Will I need to / can I replace the LED in my solar light?
The solar lights have LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) because of their long lifetime and low power consumption. The LED is not
replaceable.
Can I use any other type of battery or different mAh rated battery?
Yes, you may put Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries. Higher mAh is allowed. (Battery capacity,
measured in mAh, is marked on the
side of the battery.) Do NOT use Alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable and will burst or explode releasing the
corrosive chemicals inside.
How long will my batteries / lights last?
Ni-Cd batteries should last for 1000 daily cycles, Ni-Mh for 500 daily cycles, Ni-Mh LSD (low self-discharge) for 800 daily cycles
and the LED bulbs should last 20 years.
