- Do these need direct sunlight to work?
- Yes. The top panel charges the battery, so a spot with several hours of direct sun gives the best nightly output. Shaded spots will glow dimmer and for less time.
- Are they safe in rain?
- They carry an IPX5 rating, which means they resist water jets and normal rain. Don't submerge them or leave them standing in deep puddles.
- How many lights do I need for a path?
- The pack has four. Most people space stakes about 3 to 5 feet apart, so four covers a short walkway or one garden bed edge.
- Do they turn on automatically?
- Solar stake lights of this type usually have a built-in light sensor that switches them on at dusk and off at dawn. Check the switch is set to on before first use.
- Can I replace the batteries?
- Most budget solar stakes have a small rechargeable cell behind a cover on the head. If yours does, a standard rechargeable cell of the same size restores runtime.
- Are they bright enough for security?
- No. They are decorative accent lights. For safety or security lighting, choose mains-powered or motion-sensor fixtures.
