FAQs

How long does the light stay on at night?

The duration the light stays on depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel absorbs during the day. On a full charge, it typically lasts for several hours after sunset.

Does it require batteries?

No, this ornament is solar-powered and does not require any batteries. It charges via its built-in solar panel.

Can this ornament be used indoors?

This ornament is designed for outdoor use. While it can be placed indoors, it will not charge via its solar panel and the light feature will not function.

What are the dimensions of the ornament?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's website for exact dimensions, as this information is not available in the provided description.

Is the light color adjustable?

The LED eyes emit a specific warm twinkle effect and the color is not adjustable. It is designed to mimic realistic, soft light.

How do I clean the ornament?

Gently wipe the ornament with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to protect the finish and the solar panel.

What should I do if the solar panel is dirty?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the solar panel. Keeping it clean ensures maximum efficiency for charging.

Troubleshooting

Ornament does not light up at night.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and has received direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours. Check if the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify that the location is not exposed to other light sources at night which might prevent the sensor from activating.

Light is dim or does not last long.

The duration and brightness of the light depend on the amount of sunlight absorbed. Relocate the ornament to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel with a soft cloth.

Ornament appears damaged or weathered.

While made of durable polyresin, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions can cause wear. Clean gently and consider bringing indoors during severe weather for extended longevity.
