Full details
These Gardenwize Solar Diamond Fence Lights are designed for homeowners looking to add ambient lighting and safety to their outdoor spaces without the hassle of wiring or increased electricity bills. The key benefit is their automatic operation and decorative diamond-style lens, which creates a warm white glow.

FAQs
How many hours will the lights stay on?
The duration of illumination depends on the amount of direct sunlight the solar panel receives during the day. On a full charge, they typically last several hours into the night, but this can vary with weather and season.
Do these lights require wiring?
No, these are solar-powered lights and do not require any electrical wiring. They are designed for easy, wire-free installation.
What type of battery do these lights use?
Each light is powered by a rechargeable 1.2V AA 300mAH NI-MH battery.
Are these lights suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the lights are designed to be weather-ready for year-round outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions like heavy snow or hail may warrant temporary indoor storage for longevity.
How do I clean the solar panels?
Gently wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Can I replace the LED bulbs?
These lights are designed with integrated SMD LEDs. While the batteries are replaceable, the LEDs are typically not designed for user replacement.
What is the warranty period for these lights?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
What are the dimensions of each light?
The dimensions of each light are approximately 9.7cm (height) x 5.5cm (width) x 12cm (depth).
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the switch (if applicable) is in the 'ON' position. The ambient light sensor may be obstructed or faulty; try temporarily covering the panel to simulate darkness.
Light is dim or turns off too quickly.
The solar panel may not be getting enough direct sunlight. Relocate the lights to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. The rechargeable battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan and might need replacement.
Light turns on during the day.
The light sensor may be dirty or obstructed. Clean the sensor area gently. Ensure no external light source is directly hitting the sensor, mimicking daylight.
Lights do not light up after installation.
Verify the lights have had a full day of direct sunlight to charge. Ensure any protective film has been removed from the solar panel. Check that the batteries are correctly inserted if they are removable (though these typically have internal batteries).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose Location: Select a location that receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day, ideally facing south if possible.
- Mounting: The lights are designed for easy mounting. Use the integrated bracket or suitable screws (not included) to attach them securely to fences, railings, walls, or posts.
- Initial Charge: Allow the lights to charge in direct sunlight for a full day before the first use to ensure optimal battery performance.
Compatibility:
- These lights are designed for outdoor use on solid surfaces like wood, vinyl, or metal fences and walls.
- Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the weight of the lights.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth periodically to remove dust, dirt, or pollen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Maintenance: The rechargeable NI-MH batteries are internal. If performance significantly degrades after extended use, battery replacement may be necessary following manufacturer guidelines or by a qualified technician. Ensure you use the correct battery type (1.2V AA 300mAH NI-MH).
- Seasonal Storage: While weather-resistant, consider bringing the lights indoors during extreme weather conditions like heavy snow or hail for prolonged protection.
