- Is 8 lumens bright enough for a walkway?
- No. Eight lumens is about as dim as solar path lights get. It reads as a soft glow that marks the edge of a path, not light you can walk by safely.
- How long does it stay lit at night?
- Runtime depends on how much sun the panel gets. On a full sunny day expect several hours of dim light; after a cloudy day it may barely come on.
- Does it need direct sun?
- Yes. The panel needs several hours of direct sun to charge the battery. Shade from trees, walls or eaves will shorten runtime or stop it lighting.
- Is it safe in rain and snow?
- It is built for outdoor use with a metal housing and glass lens, but check that the battery compartment seal is tight. Standing water and heavy snow load can still shorten its life.
- Can I replace the battery?
- Most solar path lights of this type use a small rechargeable cell behind the lens or battery door. Open it and match the cell's size and voltage before replacing.
- How is it installed?
- It sits on the ground or a surface without wiring. Place it where the panel faces the sun and the light falls on the path or bed you want to mark.
