Using this personalized solar light is easy. First, place it in an area where it can get plenty of sunlight during the day. The solar panel on the stand will collect energy from the sun. As the sun sets, the light will automatically turn on, showing a beautiful multi - color display. When dawn comes, it will turn off by itself. For the best performance, clean the solar panel regularly with a soft cloth to remove any dust or debris. Avoid placing the light in areas with heavy shade or where it can be easily knocked over. Store the light indoors during harsh weather conditions like heavy snow or strong storms. If you notice that the light is not working properly, check to make sure the solar panel is clean and that there is enough sunlight exposure during the day.
