FAQs
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
The Lithium battery (3.7V 1800mAh) can provide up to 8 hours of operational time after a full charge, which typically takes around 6 hours of direct daylight.
Can I use these lights indoors?
These spotlights are designed and rated for outdoor use only. They rely on solar power, which is not practical for indoor environments.
What does IP54 mean?
IP54 is a weather resistance rating. It means the lights are protected against dust ingress (limited protection) and splashing water from any direction, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Do I need to wire these lights to my home's electricity?
No, these are solar-powered lights. They do not require any electrical wiring and are designed for easy, standalone installation.
What is the light color temperature?
The spotlights cast a warm light with a color temperature of 3000K.
What is included in the pack?
Each pack contains two Auraglow Solar Spike Spotlights in black, including ground spikes and detachable bases for versatile installation.
How should I clean the solar panel?
For best performance, wipe the solar panel periodically with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Check that the light is not positioned in an area that is already illuminated by ambient light, which may prevent the sensor from activating. Verify the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.
Light does not stay on for the full duration.
The battery may not be fully charging. Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to maximum daylight. Battery performance can decrease over time; consider if the battery is nearing the end of its lifespan.
Dim light output.
Clean the solar panel and the spotlight lens. If the issue persists, the battery may be degraded and might need replacement (if accessible and feasible).
Spotlight head is loose or won't stay in position.
Gently adjust the pivot mechanism. If it remains loose, ensure no parts are missing. For wall-mounted units, check the stability of the base mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose Installation Method: Decide whether to use the ground spike for garden beds or the detachable base for wall mounting.
- Assemble: If using the ground spike, simply attach it to the spotlight base. For wall mounting, secure the base to the desired surface using appropriate fixing screws (not included).
- Position: Insert the ground spike into the soil or affix the wall mount. Angle the spotlight head to direct the light towards the feature you wish to illuminate.
- Initial Charge: Ensure the lights receive at least 6 hours of direct daylight on their first use to fully charge the internal Lithium battery (3.7V 1800mAh).
Compatibility:
- These are standalone solar-powered units and do not require connection to an external power source.
- They are designed for outdoor use.
Care:
- Periodically wipe the solar panel with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and debris, which can improve charging efficiency.
- Check the lens of the spotlight for any obstructions and clean with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
- Ensure the ground spike or wall mount remains secure.
- In prolonged periods of poor weather or very short daylight hours, performance may be reduced. Consider manually cleaning the solar panel.
