Product Information
Full details
This charming solar-powered garden accent is designed for homeowners seeking to add a touch of whimsical character and gentle illumination to their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is effortless, eco-friendly lighting that activates automatically at dusk, thanks to its solar power and built-in sensor. A minor caveat is that its light output is subtle, best suited for ambient enhancement rather than primary illumination. The Highland Cow Solar Light features a hand-painted resin design with blinking LED eyes and a durable, weather-resistant construction, making it a delightful addition to garden beds, pathways, or entrances.

FAQs
How long does the light stay on each night?
The light is designed to operate from dusk until dawn, automatically turning off when sufficient natural light is detected. The actual duration depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel received during the day and the battery's charge level.
Does this product require batteries?
No, this product is solar-powered and uses a built-in rechargeable battery that is charged by the sun. No external batteries or electrical power source are needed.
What are the dimensions of the Highland Cow Solar Light?
The dimensions are approximately 19cm in height and 15cm in width.
Is the figurine waterproof?
The product is constructed from durable resin with a matt finish and is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, it is recommended to protect it from extreme weather like heavy frost or prolonged water submersion.
Can I replace the internal battery?
While the product is designed for longevity, the internal battery may eventually degrade. Consult the product manual or manufacturer support for specific instructions on battery replacement, if supported.
What should I do if the light isn't charging properly?
Ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed by leaves, dirt, or snow. Make sure the item is placed in a location that receives direct, strong sunlight for at least 6-8 hours per day.
How do I clean the figurine?
You can clean the figurine using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the painted finish.
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 applicable, though typically automatic) is in the 'on' position. The ambient light sensor may be malfunctioning if it's not dark enough for it to activate.
Light is dim or does not last through the night.
The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Try repositioning the item to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel with a damp cloth. The rechargeable battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan and might need replacement (check manufacturer specifications if possible).
Blinking LED eyes are not working.
Check that the primary light function is working. If not, troubleshoot as per 'Light does not turn on' or 'Light is dim'. If only the blinking feature is affected, there might be an issue with the specific LED component, and the unit may need replacement.
