Using this personalized solar light is a breeze. First, find a sunny spot in your garden or yard to place the light. The solar panel on the stand will soak up sunlight during the day. As dusk approaches, the light will automatically turn on and show off a beautiful multi - color display. At dawn, it will turn off by itself. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a soft, damp cloth to clean the acrylic part every few weeks to keep it looking great. Also, make sure the solar panel is clean so it can absorb sunlight efficiently. Avoid placing the light in areas where it could be easily knocked over or damaged. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry place.
