c.

•
Other light sources: If your solar lights are
located too close to a street light, porch
light or another solar light, it may not turn
on automatically at night. The built-in
photocell light sensor is reacting to the
other light source. Eliminate the other light
source or relocate your solar lights.
•
Dirty solar panel: A dirty solar panel will not
allow the battery to fully charge. This will
shorten the life of the battery and cause the
light to malfunction. Clean regularly with a
dampened cloth or paper towel.
After correcting the problem, check the light
operation immediately after dark or in a dark
room. If the light will only operate for a short
time, the battery needs recharging.
