FAQ
Q:How long do solar lights stay lit?
A:If your outdoor solar lights receive enough sunlight for a full charge (usually about eight hours), they will be able to illuminate all evening, starting when the light gets low, around sunset. Thus,keep the solar panel clean to enhance a long lifespan.
Q:How outdoor solar lights work?
A:Solar lights are made up of four main components: the solar panel, battery, control electronics, and the light fixture.
When the sun is out, a solar panel takes the light from the sun and produces electrical energy. The energy can then be used immediately or stored in a battery. The goal of most solar lights is to provide power at night, so they will definitely contain a battery, or be capable of attaching to a battery. The battery itself may not need to have a large capacity, due to the availability of solar energy, but it should be long lasting to account for difficulties replacing batteries in many places across the globe.
Q:Can outdoor solar lights get wet?
A:Yes, most solar lights can get wet. Long-lasting designs are typically able to handle ordinary outdoor rainfall. If your solar light has IP65 waterproofing, it will be resistant to rain as well as damaging dirt particles in the air.
