FAQs

How long does the light stay on at night?

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

Is this light waterproof?

While designed for outdoor use, it's recommended to protect it from prolonged heavy rain or harsh weather conditions to ensure its longevity. It should withstand normal garden moisture.

What kind of battery does it use?

The light uses a rechargeable battery, typically a Ni-MH or Li-ion type, which is charged by the integrated solar panel. These batteries are usually sealed within the unit.

Can I replace the battery if it stops holding a charge?

The battery is usually integrated and not designed for user replacement. If the battery life diminishes significantly, the unit may need to be replaced.

What are the dimensions of the koala light?

The dimensions are approximately 13 cm in height, 10 cm in width, and 11 cm in depth.

Does it come with a stake to put in the ground?

This model is designed as a decorative ornament and does not typically come with a stake. It is intended to be placed on flat surfaces or nestled amongst plants.

Can I use it indoors?

It is designed for outdoor use. While it might function indoors in a very sunny window, it won't charge effectively and is not intended for indoor display.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on at night.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the unit is switched to the 'ON' position (if applicable, some models are automatic). The internal battery may need time to charge initially.

Light is dim or does not stay on for long.

This can be due to insufficient sunlight exposure. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot. Debris on the solar panel can also reduce charging efficiency; clean the panel gently with a damp cloth.

LED eyes are not blinking.

Try cleaning the LED area and the solar panel. If the issue persists after ensuring adequate charge, there might be an internal fault.

Light turns on during the day.

Ensure the light is not placed in an area that is constantly illuminated by other light sources during the day, which could trick the sensor. If it consistently turns on in full daylight, there may be a sensor issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the Smart Solar Blinkin Decorative Light in your desired outdoor location, ensuring it has clear access to sunlight during the day. There is no assembly or wiring required. The light will automatically turn on when darkness falls.

Compatibility: This light is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with all standard garden environments. It functions independently and does not require connection to any other devices or power sources.

Care: To maintain its appearance and functionality, wipe the light gently with a soft, damp cloth periodically. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the solar panel on the unit is kept clean and free from debris (like leaves or dirt) to maximize sunlight absorption. During prolonged periods of low sunlight (e.g., winter months), the light may not illuminate as brightly or for as long.
