Product Information
Full details
This pack of 2 Solalite LED Solar Dancing Flame Torch Stake Lights in black is designed for homeowners looking to add ambiance and decorative lighting to their outdoor spaces without the hassle of wiring.

FAQs
How many hours will the light stay on after charging?
Run time varies based on sunlight exposure. Typically, they can last up to 6-8 hours after a full day's charge during summer months. Winter conditions with less daylight will result in shorter run times.
Do these lights require batteries?
No, these are solar-powered lights and do not require external batteries. They contain integrated rechargeable batteries that are charged by the sun.
Can I use these lights in shaded areas?
While they will still function, performance will be significantly reduced. For optimal illumination and longest run times, placement in direct, unobstructed sunlight is essential.
What are the dimensions of each light?
Each light measures approximately 68cm in height and 9.5cm in width and depth (9.5cm D x 9.5cm W).
Are these lights suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, they are designed with an IP65 waterproof rating and industrial ABS material, making them resistant to rain, snow, and high temperatures for year-round outdoor use.
How easy is it to assemble the lights?
Assembly is very simple and requires no tools. You just need to connect the three plastic parts of the stake together and push it into the ground.
Can I purchase more than the pack of 2?
This product is available in different pack sizes, including a 6-pack, to suit larger lighting needs.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the 'on/off' switch (if applicable on the model) is set to 'on'. Verify the device has had sufficient daylight hours to charge. In winter, reduced daylight may prevent charging.
Light flickers weakly or has a short run time.
The solar panel may be dirty or obstructed. Clean the panel gently with a damp cloth. Ensure the light is not placed in a shaded area. For best results, allow a full day of direct sunlight for charging, especially after prolonged cloudy periods.
Light does not turn off in the morning.
The light sensor might be obstructed or faulty. Ensure nothing is covering the sensor. If the problem persists, the sensor may need servicing.
Water ingress within the light.
Although rated IP65, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure washing can compromise seals. Contact customer support if significant water is found inside the unit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Creates a realistic and atmospheric flickering flame effect.
- No wiring or electricity needed, making installation simple and versatile.
- Automatically operates at night, providing effortless illumination.
- Durable, all-weather resistant construction for year-round use.
- Eco-friendly, powered by renewable solar energy.
Cons
- Performance and duration of light are dependent on daily sunlight. Reduced sunlight hours in winter will impact performance.
- Requires direct sunlight for optimal charging. Shady areas may result in shorter run times or no operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is straightforward. Simply connect the three plastic parts of each stake light together. Once assembled, push the stake firmly into the ground in your desired location. Ensure the solar panel on top is exposed to direct sunlight.
Compatibility: These lights are designed for outdoor use and are compatible with most soil types for staking. They do not require any electrical outlets or wiring, making them universally compatible with any outdoor space that receives sunlight.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Ensure the lights are positioned to receive maximum sunlight. No other maintenance is typically required. Store in a dry place during prolonged periods of non-use or harsh winter conditions if desired, though their all-weather design allows for year-round deployment.
