Do these need direct sunlight to work?

They charge from daylight, so a spot that gets several hours of sun each day gives the best nightly run time. Shaded spots will glow for less time.

Can I set each stone to a different color?

The remote changes color and mode, but the stones are typically controlled as a group rather than individually. Check how many units one remote covers before planning a layout.

Are they safe in rain and snow?

The IP65 rating and weather-resistant ABS body are made for outdoor use in wet weather. Keep the solar panel clear of leaves and snow so charging continues.

What are the four lighting modes?

The modes change how the light behaves, such as steady color or cycling through colors. The exact mode names come with the unit's instructions.

How do they compare with plain solar path lights?

They add color choice and a remote, which plain white solar lights lack. In return, color LEDs can look dimmer than a bright white path light.

What comes in the box?

The set includes the pathway stones and a remote control. Confirm the number of stones and whether batteries for the remote are included before ordering.
