FAQs
How long does the light stay on?

Does this candle come with a battery?
Yes, each candle is powered by a rechargeable AA battery (400mAh) which is included.
Can I use this candle indoors?
This candle is designed primarily for outdoor use to charge via sunlight. It can be used indoors if placed in a very sunny window that receives direct sunlight, but its performance may be less reliable than outdoors.
What does the IP44 rating mean?
An IP44 rating means the product is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.
Do I need to turn the candle on and off manually?
No, the candle has an automatic on/off function. It turns on at dusk and off at dawn when properly charged.
Is it safe to leave this candle outside in the rain?
Yes, the IP44 rating means it is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including splashes of water. However, prolonged submersion should be avoided.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for details on the warranty period and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Candle does not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for adequate charging. Clean the solar panel. Check that the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify the AA battery is correctly inserted and charged.
Light is dim or does not last long.
The candle may not have received enough sunlight. Relocate to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. If the battery is old, consider replacing the rechargeable AA battery.
Candle remains on during the day.
The light sensor may be obstructed or faulty. Ensure nothing is covering the solar panel area, and that it is not exposed to other strong light sources that might trick the sensor. If the problem persists, the unit may require service.
Water ingress or damage.
While IP44 rated for weather resistance, avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to harsh weather conditions. If damage is suspected, dry thoroughly and inspect. Consider storing indoors during severe weather.
