FAQs
How many lights are included in a set?
Each set includes 4 individual solar firefly garden lights.
What is the power source for these lights?
The lights are powered by solar energy, charging automatically during the day via their built-in solar panels.
Are these lights suitable for use in rainy weather?
Yes, the lights have an IP44 waterproof rating, making them suitable for use in rainy conditions and varying weather.
How long do the lights stay on after charging?
After a full day's charge, the lights typically provide 6-8 hours of continuous illumination.
Do I need to wire these lights to a power source?
No, there is no wiring required. They are solar-powered and simply stake into the ground.
How should I maintain the lights for best performance?
Regularly wipe the solar panel clean with a damp cloth and ensure the stakes are secure in the ground. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning.
Can I adjust the brightness or color of the lights?
The brightness and color are pre-set by the design of the flickering LEDs. They mimic the natural glow and movement of fireflies and cannot be adjusted.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the switch on the solar panel is set to 'ON'. Check that the solar panel received adequate sunlight during the day for charging. Clean the solar panel with a damp cloth. Verify there are no obstructions blocking the light sensor.
Lights do not stay on for the expected duration.
This is likely due to insufficient sunlight exposure. Ensure the lights are placed in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In prolonged cloudy weather, the battery may not fully charge. Check if the battery needs replacement if the unit is old.
LEDs flicker erratically or not at all.
Check the connections between the LED string and the solar panel unit. If the issue persists, one or more LEDs may be damaged. Ensure the solar panel is clean and functioning correctly, as a faulty panel can affect LED performance.
Lights are not swaying in the breeze.
Ensure the stakes are securely inserted into the ground and the light fixture is properly attached to the stake. The flexible nature of the stake is designed to catch the breeze; if it's too rigid or the fixture is too heavy, it may not sway. Gently bend the stake slightly if it seems too stiff.
