FAQs

How long do the lights stay on each night?

The duration depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel receives during the day. Typically, they will illuminate for several hours after dusk, providing ambient light.

Do I need to turn them on and off manually?

No, the Gardenwize Solar Hanging Crackle Balls feature an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor. They will turn on when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.

What is the diameter of each crackle ball?

Each crackle ball has a diameter of 6cm.

Can these lights be used indoors?

These lights are designed for outdoor use only. They require direct sunlight to charge their solar batteries.

Are the batteries replaceable?

The lights come with built-in rechargeable batteries. While designed for longevity, if performance significantly degrades over an extended period, battery replacement might be an option, though often this is considered a long-term maintenance item.

What should I do if one of the lights stops working?

First, try cleaning the solar panel and ensuring it gets adequate sunlight. If the issue persists after a full charging cycle, check the other lights in the pack for comparison, and consider the troubleshooting steps for potential causes like sensor obstruction or insufficient charge.

Troubleshooting

Lights not turning on at night.

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the on/off switch (if present and accessible) is in the 'on' position. Clean the solar panel with a damp cloth.

Lights are dim or not lasting long.

This may indicate insufficient charging. Relocate the lights to a sunnier spot or ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed. Cloudy weather can also impact performance.

Lights turn on during the day.

The light sensor might be obstructed or faulty. Ensure nothing is covering the solar panel, and try moving the unit to a location with clearer light exposure. If the issue persists, the sensor may require service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the four solar hanging crackle balls.
  2. Locate a suitable outdoor position that receives ample direct sunlight during the day.
  3. Use the integrated hanging loops to attach the balls to trees, branches, hooks, fences, or pergolas.
  4. Ensure the solar panel on the top of each ball is clean and unobstructed.

Compatibility:

These lights are designed for outdoor use and are compatible with most common garden fixtures like branches, hooks, and railings. They do not require any external power source or Wi-Fi connection.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may affect charging efficiency. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Battery: The balls come with built-in rechargeable batteries. If performance diminishes over time, battery replacement might be considered, though this is typically a long-term consideration. Ensure the units are exposed to sun regularly to maintain battery health.
