Full details
The Solar Flame Lights Set of 5 are ideal for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to enhance their outdoor ambiance without the complexity of electrical wiring. These lights offer an authentic flickering flame effect that creates a welcoming glow for pathways, patios, and garden borders. While they provide excellent decorative value, they rely entirely on sunlight for charging, meaning their performance may diminish significantly during prolonged periods of heavy overcast or winter months.

FAQs
Do these lights come with batteries?
Yes, these lights include integrated rechargeable batteries that charge during the day using solar power.
Can I leave them out in the rain?
Yes, they are designed with weather-resistant materials meant to withstand standard rain and outdoor conditions.
How long do they stay lit?
Depending on the charge received during the day, they typically provide several hours of light after dusk.
Can I install these on concrete or decking?
These lights are designed for soft ground. They cannot be installed on hard surfaces without additional custom mounting brackets, which are not included.
Do I need to turn them on and off every day?
No, once turned on initially, they feature a sensor that automatically detects darkness to turn on and daylight to turn off.
What should I do in the winter?
During winter months with low light, you may experience shorter run times. It is recommended to store them indoors if you live in an area with heavy snow.
Troubleshooting
Lights are not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is not covered by dirt or shade and confirm the switch is in the 'On' position.
Lights flicker or glow weakly
The battery may be low due to poor sunlight; allow the lights to charge for two full sunny days with the power switched off.
Light turns off prematurely
Check that the light is not positioned near other artificial light sources, which may trigger the dusk-to-dawn sensors incorrectly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your lights, locate an area with direct sunlight and push the stake firmly into the ground. If the ground is too hard, dampen it with water first to avoid snapping the stake. Compatibility is universal across outdoor soil types, though avoid placing them in waterlogged areas. To maintain your lights, wipe the solar panel with a damp, non-abrasive cloth periodically to remove dust or debris, which ensures the panels can absorb maximum light. During winter or periods of extreme weather, it is advisable to bring the units indoors to prolong their lifespan.
