- Does it need direct sunlight to work?
- It charges best in direct sun. In deep shade or under a porch roof it will run dimmer and for fewer hours after dark.
- How long does it stay on at night?
- Runtime depends on the day's charge. On a full sunny day it typically lasts several hours at low output, with the motion sensor pushing brightness up briefly.
- Is it bright enough to light a walkway?
- It gives enough light to see steps and a door area, but it is decorative accent lighting, not a floodlight. Pair it with another fixture for a large driveway.
- Can it be mounted on any wall?
- It mounts to most flat exterior surfaces with screws. Keep the solar panel facing the sun and avoid mounting under a deep overhang.
- Is it weatherproof?
- It is built for outdoor use and handles rain and sun, but prolonged standing water or sprinkler spray can shorten its life. Mount it where water drains away.
- Does the motion sensor work in daylight?
- The light runs at dusk and night. In daylight the panel charges and the lamp stays off, so the sensor mainly matters after dark.
