Solar Powered Garden Light

Solar Powered Garden Light

How can you get solar power garden lights to work?


I have two in my garden they're not in the shade yet they give of no light what-so-ever at night,i really want to get them working,is there another way of powering them up,i can't have electricity running to the garden,besides that's against the point of having solar lighting,please help .

Most solar lights have a small plastic tab inside their battery compartments. If yours have these then remove them. It will mean uncoupling the lens from the top cap, usually a bayonet type affair - very easy.

If the batteries are more than a year old then you could try recharging them in a mains charger for a couple of hours (about £4 from B&Q), or replace them. Most solar lights take the AA size "NiCad" or "NiMH" type of rechargable batteries.

Don't put ordinary AA size batteries into them, the voltage is sligtly more than rechergables and it could damage the light's electronics.
