MAXIMIZING SOLAR LIGHT POST PERFORMANCE

Charging: Charge in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours.
Location: Choose location with minimum 6-8 hours sunlight. When choosing a spot for your solar light, ensure that the device is not placed near nighttime light sources such as porch lighting, landscape lighting or street lighting.
Dusk To Dawn: The light will not activate during daylight hours. At sundown the light will go on automatically and last approximately 6-8 hours
Cleaning solar panels: It is important that dirt and debris is kept off of the solar panel to the greatest extent possible. A dirty solar panel will not fully charge the battery and thus shorten the battery life.
