FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. What is the run time on the solar light? Run time is based on the season, and location. Northern climates will have a run time during the summer of 8-12 hours, and 2-6 hours during the winter months. Southern climates will have a run time during summer months of 8-12 hours and 6-8 hours during winter months. The amount of sunlight is a direct correlation to run time – cloudy days will effect the run time. These lights need direct sunlight to charge the battery. Mounting under trees, under eves, etc., will inhibit the ability to charge.

2. How long will the Solar lights last? The LED bulbs are designed to last a lifetime. These are of the highest quality and latest technology available today. The batteries are NiCad batteries. These are rated for approximately 1000 cycles, or roughly three years. Batteries are warranted for one year.

3. My solar light will not light up? The most common issue is the battery. It takes up to three weeks for a new solar unit to cycle to full capacity. Winter months will effect this cycle time as well, if installed in the middle of winter. To test a solar unit, remove the NiCad batteries, and install two size AA alkaline batteries. Cover the entire solar collector to test the unit. If the unit lights up, replace the NiCad batteries. Caution: Alkaline batteries should only be used for testing, and should be removed immediately after testing the unit. Do not leave alkaline batteries in the unit.
