day, our LED light bulbs will have an average life of 10 years. The
rechargeable batteries will last an average of one year. They must
be replaced with rechargeable batteries – using regular batteries in
the sun will destroy the solar collector in the post cap.
Please note that our LED light bulbs are part of the whole solar cell
component and are not designed to be replaced. If it is necessary to
replace your light bulb or your solar collector, we have Solar Collec-
tor Replacement Units available.

Post Cap Care and Maintenance
Metal Post Caps
Our copper, stainless steel, and brass post caps come with a thin,
clear marine lacquer designed to protect them before and during in-
stallation. Once exposed to the elements, the sun’s ultraviolet rays,
moisture and pollution begin to break down this coating, exposing
the metal underneath.
Solar Post Caps
Our Solar Metal Post Caps and Solar Tiffany-style Glass Post Caps
are among the unique, yet classic touches you can add to your outdoor
project. By day, they add beauty to your deck. By night, they enhance
your setting with a welcoming glow, without the hassles of wiring
or electricity.
By installing a solar post cap light on your deck, you are contrib-
uting to a greener environment. Solar post caps get their energy
from the sun, the Earth’s most available energy source. This helps
offset greenhouse gases and reduces the need for dry-cell battery
disposal. They are also economical – keeping your deck illuminated
with solar post caps will not increase your electric bill.
Looking for a softer glow? No need to illuminate all of your post caps.
Batteries can be taken out of the post cap, or the tab can be reinserted
into the battery compartment, to keep the light inactive. Keep in mind
that batteries will need to be allowed to recharge when reinserted.
Some post caps have on/off switches. Make sure the switch is in
the “off” position if you don’t want a particular cap to illuminate.
Included with each of our solar post caps are LED light bulbs and
rechargeable batteries. With a normal usage of 6 to 8 hours per
