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.

Clean snow and debris off the solar panel to allow battery to recharge.

Check and replace battery periodically throughout the year, especially after winter months.
