Full details

The Solar Centre Starburst Solar Stake Lights are ideal for homeowners looking to add enchanting, automatic outdoor lighting with minimal effort. Their key benefit is creating a mesmerizing, starburst effect that illuminates gardens and pathways beautifully. A minor caveat is that while solar-powered, they also offer a battery option for added flexibility, meaning occasional battery replacement might be needed if solar charging is insufficient. This set of two lights offers a unique visual appeal, utilizing solar energy to power warm white LEDs that automatically turn on at dusk, providing up to 6 hours of enchanting light.

Troubleshooting

Lights do not turn on at dusk.

Ensure the on/off switch is set to 'ON'. Check that the solar panel has received adequate sunlight for charging. Clean the solar panel. Test with fresh batteries if using the battery option.

Lights are dim or do not stay on for 6 hours.

The solar panel may not have received enough direct sunlight for a full charge. Relocate the lights to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. Replace batteries if using the battery option and they are depleted.

LEDs are not illuminating.

Verify the on/off switch is in the 'ON' position. Check the rechargeable battery pack for proper connection. If using AA batteries, ensure they are correctly inserted and charged/new.

Lights turn on during the day.

Ensure the light sensor is not being covered or obstructed. If the on/off switch has a manual 'ON' position, ensure it is set to the automatic 'AUTO' or dusk-to-dawn setting.
