Can I use this indoors?

Does it require batteries?

Troubleshooting
Ornament not lighting up at night
Ensure the solar panel is clean and has received adequate direct sunlight during the day. Check that the 'on/off' switch (if present) is in the 'on' position. Try repositioning the ornament to a sunnier spot.
LED eyes not blinking or winking
Verify that the ornament is receiving sufficient charge. If the issue persists after a full day's charge in direct sunlight, there might be an internal issue with the LED mechanism.
Fading or peeling paint
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For minor fading, a clear outdoor sealant might be considered, though this is not a standard care instruction. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
