Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The nightly run time is
shorter.
The battery is not fully charged.
Ensure 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 a Nickel-metal hydride
rechargeable battery.
The solar light does not
turn on at night.
There is a switch on the surface of solar panel, which
must be put in ON position before use.
Ensure the switch is in the ON position and the light has
charged for a full sunny day.
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.
