What are the dimensions of the light?

Is the colour 'Grey' a dark or light shade?
The colour is described as 'anthracite grey,' which typically refers to a dark, charcoal-like shade.
Troubleshooting
Light not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check if the surrounding area is completely dark. The light has an automatic sensor and will not operate in daylight. If performance is poor, try the power-saving mode.
Light not lasting through the night
The battery may not be fully charging. Ensure the solar panel is clean and has had sufficient direct sunlight. Winter months or prolonged cloudy weather can reduce charging capacity. Consider using the power-saving mode for extended runtimes.
Dim light output
This can be due to insufficient charging or the power-saving mode being active. Clean the solar panel and ensure it's positioned for maximum sun exposure. If the power-saving mode is on, switch to the standard mode if light duration is prioritized over brightness.
