• If the solar cell light does not come on when it starts getting dark in the evening, it might be due
to one of the following:
– The switch is in the off position�
– The battery is not fully charged or needs to be replaced�
• Ensure that the solar cell light is positioned so that it receives the maximum amount of direct sunlight
during the day� Allow the battery to charge for an entire, sunny day� Cloudy weather can mean that
the battery does not fully charge and that the light does not come on in the evening� However,
charging continues on the next sunny day and once the battery is fully charged, the light will come
on again� Replace the battery as necessary, particularly after the winter� Use the same type of
batteries as are in the the solar cell light on delivery�
• If the solar cell light is positioned too close to other sources of light, e�g� a streetlamp, floodlight or
another solar cell light, it is possible that it won’t turn on when darkness starts to fall� The built-in
light sensor is sensitive to other nearby sources of light� Turn off other lighting or move the solar cell
light�
• If the solar panel is dirty, the battery will not fully charge� This will shorten the battery’s service life
and result in the solar cell light not functioning as intended� Clean the solar cell light regularly with
a damp cloth or kitchen paper�
• When the problem has been rectified, check that the light works again, either during the evening
or in a dark room� If the light only comes on briefly, the battery needs to be charged�
