A few reasons for failed solar lights

1. There is nothing worse than having problems with your outdoor solar lights because of unreliable outdoor lighting. we pride ourselves on creating durable and dependable solar light fixtures that will give you long-lasting usability. Our focus is to break to the status-quo on outdoor solar lighting and work to ensure that our solar light fixtures will illuminate and brightly enhance your life for the years to come.

   Possible Solutions for Your “Broken” Solar street Light

   Using outdoor solar lighting as an alternative to gas and electric lighting is a great way to decrease your electric bill and carbon footprint. As an additional benefit, after installation, they are virtually maintenance free. Although, there are instances where your outdoor solar lamp or lamp post could stop working. Here are some of the top reasons why your solar light could have stopped working.

   1. Your Solar Light is Not Getting Enough Direct Sunlight

   Do solar lights need to be in direct sunlight? The answer is YES! Majority of Solar light fixtures are designed to operate automatically from dusk-to-dawn after receiving a full solar charge. To get full usage out of your solar powered lamp, the solar panel must be placed in the direct sun. As a rule of thumb, for every hour of sunlight, you will receive 1.5-2 hours of illumination. If you notice that your solar light is not staying on for 8-12 hours (hours of duration vary on the specific model), please consider moving the solar light to a sunnier spot. Another alternative is to switch the solar lamp to the low/ economy mode (for select models). By doing this, you will receive a dimmer illumination and longer duration.

   2. Your Solar Light is Too Close in Proximity to Another Light Source At Night

   Our solar lights are equipped with a photocell. A sensor that allows our solar lights to detect light. Our lights are designed to work from dusk-to-dawn, and the photocell is what triggers the light to turn on and to turn off. If your solar lights are not working properly, please make sure no other light source such as overhead street lights, garage/house lights and neighbors lights are not shining toward the photocell on your solar light.  If this happens, the photocell on your solar light will think it is daytime and the light may turn off. If your light is not coming on, or turning off too soon, we recommend covering the photocell to test if this is the issue. Covering the photocell will trick the light into thinking night time has arrived early and therefore the light will come on. If your solar light started working, you will need to change the location of your solar light away from the light source.

   3. Your Solar Street Light’s Battery Needs to Be Charged

   How long do solar batteries last in outdoor lights?  solar lamps come with a pre-installed Lithium-Ion battery(s) that is designed to last for approximately 3 years (roughly 1000 charges). Often times customers tend to forget that the battery is one of the most important components in our solar lights and needs to be replaced after approximately 3 years of use. If your solar light stopped working or is not performing as it used to, it’s time to switch the old battery with a new one. Replacement batteries for solar lights can be purchased directly from us for an additional 3 years of operation. Once you obtained your new replacement battery, just unscrew the battery compartment, disconnect the old battery, and connect the new one. We recommend referring to your user manual on the specific battery you need for your Solar Light.

   Please be advised on how to dispose of Lithium-Ion batteries.

   4. Your Light’s Solar Panel is Dirty

   To ensure top performance of your new Solar Light, please make sure the Mono-Crystalline solar panels are clear of any debris such as leaves, branches, dust etc. Giving it a quick wipe over with a slightly damp cloth (no chemicals. Only warm water) every so often will keep it working to its full potential.

   5. Your Solar Light is Experiencing Water or Precipitation Buildup

   Our solar street light fixture is designed with the utmost care and precision. We want to earn your business by creating outdoor solar light fixtures that not just meet your expectations but exceed them. All of solar lights are weather resistant and water resistant.  It is possible but unlikely that water or residue may build up inside the solar lamp head where all the internal wiring is located, and you can check to see if the issue is internal by detaching the lamp head from either the post, wall or pier mount by unscrewing the metal or resin plate and detaching the plate from the lamp head. Unfortunately, there is no way to openly identify what is causing the issue from there, but if you notice any liquid or frayed wires please contact our customer support
