- Do these need direct sunlight to work?
- Yes. Each light has its own small solar panel, so it needs several hours of direct sun to charge. Shaded steps will run dim or not at all.
- Are they safe in heavy rain?
- They carry an IP67 rating, which means they are protected against dust and against being submerged briefly. They are fine in rain and sprinklers, but do not leave them sitting in standing water.
- Can I set a single color?
- Yes. The multicolor LEDs can be set to a fixed color or to a cycling mode. Check the switch position before mounting, since it is usually on the underside.
- How do I install them?
- Push the stake into soil or soft ground, or use the base to sit them flat on a step or deck. No wiring or tools beyond a screwdriver are needed.
- How long do they stay lit at night?
- Runtime depends on how much sun they got that day. A full charge typically gives several hours of light, and a dark or cloudy day shortens that.
- Can they be used indoors?
- Not well. They rely on sunlight to charge, so indoors they will not recharge and will only work until the first charge runs out.
