Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The nightly run time
is short.
The battery is not fully charged.
Ensure that the solar light is located in an area where it
can receive the maximum amount of full, direct sunlight
every day. Keeping the solar panel clean is equally
important to ensure the maximum charging
performance.
The battery is reaching the end of its
useful life.
Replace the old battery with a new 3.7V Lithium ion
rechargeable battery pack.
The solar light does
not turn on at night.
The solar light is set to OFF.
Your solar light is equipped with an ON/OFF switch on
the back of the solar box. This switch must be set to
ON prior to use.
The solar light is installed close to other
light sources, which may keep the solar
light from turning on at night
automatically.
Relocate the fixture or eliminate other light sources.
