- Do these need direct sunlight to work?
- Yes. Each cane has its own solar panel, so it needs several hours of direct sun to charge. In shade or on overcast days the glow will be weaker and shorter.
- Can they stay outside in rain or snow?
- They are IP44 rated, which means they resist rain spray and light snow. Do not submerge them or leave them in standing water, and bring them in for severe storms.
- How long do they stay lit at night?
- Runtime depends on how much sun the panels got that day. A full sunny charge gives the longest run; after a cloudy day expect a dimmer, shorter display.
- Are they safe to stake into a lawn?
- Yes, the stakes push into soil and grass. In hard or frozen ground, loosen the soil first or the plastic stake can bend.
- Is this a plug-in set or battery-powered?
- Neither. They run on solar panels built into each cane, so there are no cords, outlets or replaceable batteries to manage.
