If the fountain is used in the evening, the built-in LEDs will automatically light up to enhance the water feature.
1.2 This solar panel contains a battery pack. When the battery pack is charged it will be used to run the pump and LEDs when there is insufficient sunlight. It can be switched on and off using the switch on the back of the solar panel.
