FAQs
How long does the light stay on at night?
The duration the light stays on depends on the amount of sunlight it receives during the day. On a full charge, it typically illuminates for several hours after dusk.
Does this light require batteries?
No, this is a solar-powered light. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that is charged by the sun.
What are the dimensions of the stake light?
The Smilin' Sunflower Solar Garden Stake Light measures approximately H 82.0cm x W 19.0cm x D 4.0cm.
Can I leave this light out in the rain?
Yes, the product is designed for outdoor use and is crafted from durable materials intended to withstand various weather conditions. However, prolonged extreme weather may affect longevity.
How do I clean the solar panel?
Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the panel's surface.
Will the hand-painted finish fade?
While designed for outdoor use, hand-painted finishes can be subject to fading over extended periods of direct sunlight and exposure. Occasional touch-ups may be needed to maintain its appearance.
Is the sunflower design waterproof?
The product is designed to be weather-resistant for outdoor garden use. Standard rain and moisture should not affect the integrity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for a full day. Check if the on/off switch (if present) is in the 'on' position. Make sure the area is dark enough for the light sensor to activate.
Light turns off too quickly.
The battery may not be fully charging. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot or ensure the solar panel is clean. Prolonged cloudy weather can also reduce charging capacity.
LED eyes are not blinking.
This may be an internal LED issue. Try cleaning the solar panel and ensuring a full charge. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Stake is unstable.
Ensure the stake is pushed firmly into the ground. If the ground is very soft, consider adding extra support around the base of the stake or moving it to a firmer location.
