Troubleshooting
Lantern not lighting up at night
Ensure the lantern is placed in an area that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the solar panel is clean and free from dirt or obstructions. Verify that the lantern is not placed too close to other light sources that might prevent its light sensor from activating.
Dim or short-lived light
The battery may not be fully charged. Expose the lantern to more direct sunlight. If the issue persists after several days of adequate sun exposure, the rechargeable battery may need replacement (if applicable and accessible).
Visible damage or fading paint
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For significant fading or damage, consider it part of the lantern's unique character or a sign that it may need to be brought indoors during extreme weather.
