Placement & Usage Tips
Position solar lights where they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for optimal charging. Avoid placement under trees, eaves, or structures that create shade during peak sun hours. Space path lights 6 to 8 feet apart for consistent illumination along walkways.
💡 Pro Tip
Clean the solar panels monthly with a damp cloth to remove dust, pollen, and bird droppings that reduce charging efficiency. Dirty panels can reduce light output by up to 50 percent, and this simple maintenance step is the most effective way to keep solar lights performing at their best.
