Frequently asked questions
Do HMDecor lighting products need batteries?
Yes, and the rechargeable battery is included in the product. Please check the product specification for more battery details.
What is the AAA/AA battery used for?
The battery is a rechargeable battery. During the daytime, the solar panel generates power to the battery. The battery provides power to lights to keep them on during the night.
How long do I need to replace the batteries?
For best performance, replace with a rechargeable battery every 3 years or when performance diminishes.
Can bulb be replaced?
No, these bulbs are integrated LED, they can’t be replaced.
How do solar lights work?
Each light is solar powered, so no extra wiring or electrical work is required. Just put them under the sun anywhere you want. Let them be exposed to the sun for a full day (make sure you already take the tab at the back of lid and turn on the switch). The solar light has a solar panel that converts sunlight into electricity. During the day, the converted electricity is stored in the rechargeable batteries. At night, the solar light is powered by the batteries using the electricity stored during the day. The operating time depends on geographical location, daily weather conditions, and season. For optimal performance during the evening, allow the batteries to charge for 6 to 7 hours in direct sunlight.
Do HMDecor lights still work in cloudy or rainy days?
Yes, solar lights will work just fine, despite a few cloudy days. Each solar light has a solar cell that collects energy from the sun. This, in turn, is transferred to a small battery in the device. As the solar cell collects the solar energy, it slowly charges the battery. On a sunny day, 6-8 hours of sunlight can fully charge the solar light's battery, allowing it to run for 8-10 hours.
Can HMDecor solar lights be used in winter/snow weather?
Yes, they can still be used in winter and snow weather. Keep debris and snow off the solar panel to allow the battery to recharge. If lights have been covered by snow for a long time, allow the battery to recharge in full, direct sunlight for at least 10-12 hours so it can maintain maximum capacity.
How long can the HMDecor solar light be on at night?
It takes 6-8 hours for HMDecor solar lights to be fully charged on a sunny day. And fully charged solar lights can give you 8-10 hours of light at night. The actual lighting time mainly depends on the weather of the day.
Is there a way to turn solar lights off?
Yes, there is a switch on the back of lid, you can switch it to OFF.
Do I have to dig a hole before put the HMDecor pathway lights?
Yes, if the ground is hard. Normally you can use water to soften the soil, then it’s easier to assemble the pathway lights. And DO NOT USE A HAMMER!
