Classy Caps SL094 Solar Post Cap
Product Information
The Classy Caps Solar Powered Post Cap is a unique and stylish lighting solution that adds a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. This product is manufactured by Classy Caps Mfg. Inc. in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada and is available in two models: Mod. SL094 and Mod. SL092. The solar panel on top of the cap converts sunlight energy into electricity during the day. The photocell automatically turns on the light at night using the stored electricity in the batteries. The solar cap runs off sunlight energy to recharge the batteries, which means there is no cost to run the cap. The number of hours the light stays on depends on your geographical location, weather conditions, and seasonal sunlight availability. The product is easy to install and does not require any wiring. Each Classy Cap Solar Powered Post Cap includes a Candle Solar Post Cap, two mounting screws, two AA rechargeable batteries, and one adaptor. The copper solar post caps are hand-finished to give a natural weathered appearance, so every post cap has its unique characteristics. Color variance is normal.
