Do I need to turn the lights on and off manually?
No, these lights are designed with an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor. They will turn on automatically when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.
Can these lights be used in pots or containers?
Yes, they are designed to be easily placed in soil, pots, gravel, or borders, making them versatile for various garden settings.
What is the height of the solar light?
Each solar orchid light stands approximately 70cm tall.
How many LEDs are on each light?
Each stem is adorned with 30 warm white LED lights.
Are these lights waterproof?
The lights are built from weather-resistant materials designed for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions is not recommended. It's advisable to protect them during harsh winters.
What kind of battery does it use and can it be replaced?
It uses a 1.2V 300mAh NI-MH rechargeable battery. Yes, the battery can be replaced if its performance degrades over time. Ensure you use a battery of the same type and specifications.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Clean the solar panel. The battery may need charging or replacing if old.
Light stays on during the day.
The light sensor might be obstructed or faulty. Ensure nothing is covering the solar panel during daylight hours. If the problem persists, the light may need servicing or replacement.
Light is dim or does not last through the night.
This is often due to insufficient sunlight exposure. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. The battery may be old and not holding a charge effectively; consider replacing it.
The stem is unstable in the ground.
Ensure the stake is pushed firmly and vertically into the ground. If the ground is very hard, moisten it slightly or choose a different location. For very loose soil or gravel, a wider base or additional support might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:

- Winter Storage: For prolonged lifespan, especially in areas with harsh winters, consider bringing the lights indoors during freezing temperatures.
