FAQs

How long does the light stay on?

The duration the light stays on depends on the amount of direct sunlight it receives during the day. On a full charge, it typically illuminates for 6-8 hours after dark.

Can I choose between white light and color-changing light?

Yes, this model offers both white and color-changing LED lighting options. Please check the product's specifications or switch settings for how to select your preferred mode.

Is this ornament suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and is suitable for use come rain or shine. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions may affect its longevity.

How do I clean the crackle glass gazing ball?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the crackle glass. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.

What should I do if the ornament doesn't light up?

Ensure it's placed in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily, check that the solar panel is clean, and confirm any 'on' switches are activated. The light sensor might also prevent it from turning on if there's still sufficient ambient light.

Does it require batteries?

No, it does not require traditional batteries. It uses an internal rechargeable solar battery that is powered by sunlight.

What are the dimensions of the ornament?

The approximate dimensions are 45 x 23.5 x 18.9 cm.

Troubleshooting

Ornament not lighting up at night

Ensure the ornament is placed in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Check that the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions. Verify that the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Some ornaments have a light sensor and may not turn on if ambient light is still present.

Light is dim or short-lived

The battery may not be fully charging. Increase direct sunlight exposure time or clean the solar panel. If the ornament is several years old, the internal rechargeable battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan and might need replacement (if accessible) or the unit may need replacing.

Water ingress into the crackle glass ball

While designed for outdoor use, extreme conditions or damage could lead to water ingress. Allow the unit to dry completely in sunlight. If the issue persists or damage is visible, contact the manufacturer for potential repair or replacement options.

Paint fading or chipping

This is a natural process for outdoor decorations exposed to continuous sunlight and weather. While the polyresin is durable, some fading is expected over time. Ensure you are cleaning it gently and consider storing it indoors during harsh weather to prolong its pristine appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select a spot in your garden that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours per day. Avoid shaded areas or locations blocked by trees or structures.
  2. Placement: Simply place the ornament on a level surface in your desired location, such as a patio, lawn, or border.
  3. Initial Charge: Ensure the solar panel (typically located on the ornament) is clean and unobstructed. The ornament will begin charging automatically when exposed to sunlight.

Compatibility:

  • This product is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden environments.
  • It does not require any external power source or Wi-Fi connection.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the ornament with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust and debris. For the crackle glass ball, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Solar Panel Maintenance: Ensure the solar panel remains clean. Dust or dirt can significantly reduce charging efficiency. Wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Winter Storage (Optional): While designed to be weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh winter conditions can extend the lifespan of the ornament. If desired, it can be stored indoors during extreme weather.
  • Battery Care: The solar-rechargeable battery is internal. To ensure optimal performance, allow the unit to charge fully in sunlight regularly.
