FAQs

How long does the battery last?

The included 1 x AA Ni-MH rechargeable battery is designed to last through a full night's illumination after a day's charge. Battery life can vary depending on sunlight exposure and usage, and may require replacement after 1-2 years.

Do I need to assemble the light?

The light comes ready for assembly. You only need to push the stake into the ground and ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive sunlight.

What should I do if the light stops working after a few months?

First, ensure the solar panel is clean and has been exposed to sufficient direct sunlight. If the issue persists, the rechargeable battery may need to be replaced. The product comes with a manufacturer's 1-year guarantee.

Can these lights be used in pots on a balcony?

Yes, as long as the pot is placed in an area that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day for charging. Ensure the stake is securely placed within the soil of the pot.

Are the butterflies waterproof?

The lights are designed for outdoor use. The components, including the butterflies, are made to withstand outdoor conditions. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather should be avoided for longevity.

How do I clean the solar panel?

Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the panel's surface, reducing its efficiency.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This product comes with a manufacturer's 1-year guarantee.

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) is in the 'on' position. The rechargeable battery may need replacing if it is old.

Light is dim or only stays on for a short period.

The solar panel may not be getting enough sunlight. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. The rechargeable battery might be nearing the end of its lifespan and may need replacement.

Butterflies or stems are damaged.

The product is designed with flexible stems. For damage, contact the manufacturer. Avoid exposing the light to extremely high winds if possible.

Stake is difficult to insert into the ground.

Soften the ground by watering it first. If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider placing the light in a large pot filled with soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the solar stake light carefully.
  2. Find a suitable location in your garden that receives direct sunlight for most of the day.
  3. Gently push the stake into soft ground (soil, lawn, or a large pot) until the pole is securely in place. Ensure the solar panel faces upwards.
  4. Allow the solar panel to charge in sunlight for a full day before expecting illumination at night.

Compatibility:

  • Power Source: Solar powered; no mains electricity required.
  • Battery: Uses 1 x AA Ni-MH Rechargeable battery (included).
  • Location: Suitable for outdoor use in gardens, patios, driveways, and flower beds.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean only with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using household cleaners, abrasive materials, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic and finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the solar panel and clean it with a soft, dry cloth to ensure efficient charging. If performance diminishes, consider replacing the rechargeable battery after a year or two of use.
