Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The solar light does not turn on at night or
the amount of time that it operates during
the night is shorter.
The battery is not fully charged.
Ensure the solar light is located in an area
where it can receive the maximum amount
of full, direct sunlight everyday. If the solar
light does not receive enough sunlight
during a day (e.g. due to cloudy or overcast
weather conditions), it will be recharged
on the next sunny day and resume normal
operation. Keeping the solar panel clean is
e
qually important to ensure the maximum
charging performance.
T he solar light is installed close to other
light sources which are causing the
photocell to turn the fixture off.
Relocate the fixture to a place with no
other light sources, or remove the other
light sources from the fixture location.
The batteries are reaching the end of their
useful life.
Replace the rechargeable batteries with
two rechargeable batteries that have a
similar rating and type. Do not use a non-
rechargeable battery.
There is not enough direct sunlight.
Ensure the solar light is not installed in a
shaded area, such as in the shadows, the
trees, or a house.
The switch may not be slide to ON. Slide the switch to ON position.
