FAQs
How long does the battery typically last on a full charge?
The duration of light depends on the amount of sunlight received. Typically, a full day's charge on a sunny day can provide several hours of illumination throughout the evening.
What type of batteries does it use?
It uses AA rechargeable batteries, each with a capacity of 400mAh, which are included with the product.
Is this candle suitable for indoor use?
No, this solar-powered candle is specifically designed for outdoor use and requires sunlight exposure to charge.
What does IP44 rating mean?
An IP44 rating means the product is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor environments.
Do I need to turn it on and off manually?
No, the candle has an automatic light sensor. It will turn on when it gets dark and turn off when it detects light or the battery depletes.
Can I replace the rechargeable batteries?
Yes, the rechargeable batteries can be replaced if they eventually lose their ability to hold a charge. Ensure you use AA rechargeable batteries of similar specifications.
What should I do during winter months?
We recommend storing your solar lights during the darker winter months to protect them and maintain battery health, bringing them back out as the weather improves.
Troubleshooting
Candle does not light up at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and charged. The light sensor may be affected by ambient light; try placing it in a darker location away from other light sources.
Light is dim or does not last long.
The candle may not be receiving enough sunlight for a full charge. Relocate it to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. The rechargeable batteries may be nearing the end of their lifespan and might need replacement.

This can be a normal characteristic of LED flickering bulbs. If it's excessively erratic, check the battery connection and ensure the candle is stable.
