FAQs

How long does the battery typically last?

The battery life varies depending on sunlight exposure. When fully charged, the lights provide a minimum of 6 hours of illumination.

What is the 'crackle ball' effect?

The crackle ball is a glass finish that softens the LED light and creates subtle light textures on surrounding surfaces, reducing glare and adding a decorative element.

Do these lights require any wiring?

No, these lights are solar-powered and designed for easy, wire-free installation. They simply slide onto the top of fence posts.

How often should I clean the lights?

It is recommended to wipe the solar panel and glass surface with a soft, damp cloth periodically, especially after dusty or pollen-heavy weather, to maintain optimal performance.

Will these lights work on a cloudy day?

They will still charge on cloudy days, but the charging efficiency will be reduced. This may result in a shorter illumination time or dimmer light compared to a full charge from direct sunlight.

What is the warranty period for these lights?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's information for specific warranty details, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on at dusk.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and has received sufficient direct sunlight for charging. Check that the light is not exposed to other light sources at night, which could trick the sensor. Ensure the 'off' switch, if present, is in the 'on' position.

Light is dim or does not stay on for long.

The light may not be receiving enough direct sunlight to fully charge. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. Battery may need replacement if the unit is old.

Light turns on during the day.

Check for any light sources (like streetlights or porch lights) that might be confusing the light sensor. Ensure the light is not covered or shaded during daylight hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the lights are placed in an area that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day to maximize charging efficiency.
  2. Simply slide the light onto the top of a standard fence post. No tools or wiring are required.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit standard fence posts.

Care:

  • In winter or during periods of low sunlight, it is recommended to bring the lights indoors to protect them and ensure they are ready for sunnier days.
