FAQs

How long does the light typically stay on?

The duration the light stays on depends on the amount of sunlight it receives during the day. On a full charge from adequate sunlight, it can typically operate for 6-8 hours after dusk.

What kind of battery does it use?

This solar light uses a rechargeable battery (usually Ni-MH or Li-ion) that is charged by the solar panel. The specific battery type is not listed, but it is integrated into the unit.

Can I replace the battery if it stops holding a charge?

While not explicitly stated, rechargeable batteries in solar lights are often replaceable. However, accessing and replacing it may require careful disassembly.

Is the light waterproof?

The product is designed for outdoor garden use, implying it has a degree of water resistance. However, it is advisable to protect it from prolonged heavy rain or extreme weather conditions.

What are the dimensions of the toadstool light?

The Trio Solar Rattan Look Toadstool Light has a height of 39 cm.

Does it require any wiring?

No, this is a solar-powered light and does not require any wiring. It operates independently using its built-in solar panel and battery.

Can I use this light indoors?

This light is specifically designed for outdoor use to capture sunlight. It will not function effectively or safely indoors.

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 'on/off' switch (if present, usually located on the base or solar panel) is in the 'on' position. The light sensor may be faulty or covered.

Light only stays on for a short period.

The battery may not be fully charging due to insufficient sunlight. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot. If the unit is new, allow several days of full sun exposure for the battery to reach optimal capacity. The battery may need replacement if it's old.

Light flickers or is dim.

This could be due to a dirty solar panel or a partially charged battery. Clean the solar panel and ensure it receives adequate sunlight. Check for any obstructions blocking the light. If the issue persists, the battery may be degrading.
