Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

My yard is all shade. Will this solar light really light up at night?

Yes, Shade Solar lights are guaranteed to work in the shade. They have no wires. Another option for your yard is low-voltage landscape lights. Those cost more because you'll need to buy a transformer, bury wires in the ground, and pay for electricity.

My new house is in the woods. Not much direct sun. Can I use solar lights?

Yes. Shade Solar lights are guaranteed to work in shade. Direct sunlight is not required.

I am trying to find solar lights for my very shaded backyard. I assume the solar panel needs to be placed where there is sun? What if there is very limited sun in the area? How does that work as you move further from maybe the one spot that gets a little sun?

Shade Solar lights are unique because they can work in the shade. They do not need to be placed where there is direct sunlight. A light can be moved from one spot in your yard to another and it will automatically adapt to the amount of shade (or sun) that is there.

I'm a little confused about placement of the solar panel. Does it need to be in sunlight?

No. The solar panel can be in shade. The solar panel of a Shade Solar light is permanently attached and never separated from the light unit.

Once the solar lights are charged, do they stay on during the night and early morning? Or do they only turn on when there is motion sensed?

Shade Solar lights turn on automatically at dusk and stay lit until dawn.

Can I use Shade Solar lights indoors?

Shade Solar lights are designed to operate outside in shade or sun. Indoors is not a good location for these lights.

Which solar light you would you suggest for a wooden deck surrounded by tall trees?

Any Shade Solar light can be used on your shady deck.

I received my new Shade Solar lights, and they are working awesome in the Woods. Can I put them in my yard as well?

Yes. Shade Solar lights can operate in full shade, full sun, or anything in between.

Which Shade Solar lights would you recommend? My location is almost complete shaded for the bulk of the day.

You can use any Shade Solar lights because they adapt automatically to their location.

Do these solar lights give off a warm white light or a cool white light?

Shade Solar lights project warm white light (soft white).

How well do the solar lights hold up in snow and winter?

Shade Solar lights are tested at sites in Indiana, Washington state, and Arizona to ensure they endure all seasons.

What happens to these solar lights below freezing? Does freezing diminish charging and light output?

Shade Solar lights can tolerate very cold temperatures. They operate normally down to 30 degrees F and lower. Below 20 degrees F, the batteries may stop storing energy. When the temperature warms up, the batteries recover, and the lights return to normal operation.

Do these lights come with batteries?

Yes. A rechargeable battery is included with each Shade Solar light.

How often do the batteries need to be replaced?

It’s recommended you should change the rechargeable batteries of a Shade Solar light once every 2 to 3 years.

Do you offer a discount for purchases of a certain number of solar lights?

Yes. Please contact us if you need 24 lights or more.
