Q1. |
What is Solar Light and how does it work? |
|
|
A1. |
Solar Light is the safest and easiest kind of outdoor lighting to install. It provides free electricity. Each light contains a solar collector panel that converts sunlight into electricity which is stored in rechargeable batteries and used to light up the fixture at night.
Near the solar panel, there is a tiny photocell (light sensor). This component is highly sensitive to light and controls the Solar Lights illumination. Once the environment is dark, the light will light up automatically.
No wires are necessary. The light comes with a ground stake. You just insert te Solar Light into the grass, dirt or flowerpot. You only need to place the light in a sunny location. Others have the light separate from a solar cell panel. Only the solar panel needs to be placed in a sunny location.

Q2. |
How long does the light last and how often do the batteries need replacing? |
| |
A2 |
Crown-Solar™ solar garden light is a high quality solar light. The whole light is aluminum; even the ground stake is aluminum. It does not rust or break. The LED light bulb doesn’t burn out. Its life expectancy typically exceeds 25 years based on 10 hours running every night.
AA N-Cd rechargeable battery – This is a memory battery. It remembers the shorten charges affected by raining day or cloudy day. We suggest changing it once a year in order to keep the light in a good condition. Or, when you find that everyday sunny, but the light is getting very dim, then it's time to change battery.
AA Ni-Mh rechargeable battery – Although this is a non-memory battery, we suggest changing it every 2 – 3 years in order to keep the light in a good condition. When you find that everyday is sunny, but the light is getting very dim, then it's time to change battery.
