Technical FAQs 4

Does an outdoor solar light work?

Strange as it might sound, it's the level of darkness that dictates whether an outdoor solar light works or not. Solar lights rely on a photocell to judge the level of darkness and the level of light. If it’s not dark enough (and the switch is on), the light simply won’t come on.

Why are my solar yard lights not working at night?

Solar yard lights depend on sunlight to charge their batteries, so their performance can be affected by weather conditions. On cloudy or rainy days, they might not get enough direct sunlight to charge fully, leading to reduced lighting time at night. If the solar cell is dirty or corroded, this can also cause them to not get enough sunlight.

How do solar lights work?

When the daylight fades, the sensor activates the light, allowing it to illuminate the surrounding area. The process is automatic, requiring no human intervention, making solar lights a convenient option for outdoor lighting.

Are solar power lights eco-friendly?

Solar power lights are a practical and eco-friendly light fixture that harness the sun’s energy. Their ease of setup and use make them perfect to add a light source to outdoor spaces during the night time.
