FAQs

How long does the light typically stay on?

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

Can I leave this light out in bad weather?

Yes, the stake is designed for outdoor use. However, during prolonged periods of heavy rain or snow, or if extreme cold is expected, bringing it indoors can help prolong its lifespan and ensure the solar panel can recharge effectively when conditions improve.

Do I need to turn the light on and off manually?

No, the light features an automatic sensor. It charges during daylight hours and switches on automatically when darkness falls, and off again at dawn.

What is the height of the garden stake?

The garden stake is approximately 89cm in height.

Is the paint waterproof?

The paint is designed to be weather-resistant for outdoor use. However, like many outdoor decorations, extreme weather or prolonged harsh conditions may affect its appearance over time.

Can I replace the LED bulb?

This model has an integrated LED designed to last for a significant period. Replacement of the LED is typically not designed to be user-serviceable.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on at night.

Ensure the solar panel has been exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours. Check that the area around the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions. The light has an automatic sensor; ensure it's not exposed to other light sources during the day which might prevent it from activating its 'darkness' mode.

Light does not stay on for long.

This typically indicates insufficient charging. Try repositioning the stake to a sunnier location. The battery's lifespan may also be affected by extreme temperatures or age.

Paint appears faded.

While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause some fading over time. This is a natural effect of UV exposure. Consider moving the stake to a location with partial shade if fading is a significant concern.

Pros and Cons

  • Effortless, automatic operation with solar power.
  • Unique, hand-painted detailing ensures no two are exactly alike.
  • No running costs due to solar charging.
  • Easy to install, requiring no electrical knowledge.

Cons

  • Performance is dependent on sunlight exposure for charging.
  • May require repositioning to ensure adequate charging.
  • Colour vibrancy may fade over extended periods of direct sunlight.
  • The light output is atmospheric rather than intensely bright.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day (ideally 6-8 hours).
  2. Gently push the stake firmly into the ground until it is stable.

Compatibility:

This product is designed for outdoor use and does not require any electrical compatibility.

Care:

  • To clean the dragonfly and solar panel, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the paintwork or the solar panel.
  • Ensure the solar panel remains free of debris, such as leaves or dirt, to maximize charging efficiency.
  • In areas with prolonged periods of low sunlight (e.g., winter months), consider bringing the stake indoors to protect it from harsh weather and ensure the battery can recharge when conditions improve.
