Solar Garden Lights: Repairing Them

Basically, maintaining your OUTDOOR SOLAR LIGHTS is simple and doesn't require a lot of thought. Once you have taken them out of their packages, set them up, and they get a full days charge, they pretty much take care of themselves. From this point on, they will not require attention, watering or anything like plants. Every now and then you may notice that one or two of them is not working. Well, this may be fixed very easily depending on what caused the malfunctioning. Just read the owners manual and take it from there. When you notice that one or two lights is not shining the way they once did, the first thing you should do is to make sure that each light is placed directly under the sun or where it is not being blocked by trees or plants. This will ensure they carry a full charge during the p.m. hours. It will not be hard to determine if they are getting enough light because you will shadows around your lights or they will not shine very bright at night.

Eventually you will probably break one of the stakes that hold up a light, this will probably prevent the solar panels from getting direct sunlight. Simply put, all you need is which can be found at online stores or at retailers. Online providers are cheaper because they usually offer factory direct pricing. Depending on the type of solar lights you purchase at some point you will end up with a cracked light. This is a quick fix. The crack could have been from a number of things but luckily fixing it will be pretty quick and easy. You can use a number of liquid glue products but most suggested in liquid resin. It will dry quickly, fix your problem, and is cheap.

One of the most common problems is that you will find your light might be working aka shining light during the day when it shouldn't be. This just means that an internal functioning part is malfunctioning. The LDR (light Dependant Resistor) is malfunctioning or broken. The function of the LDR is to sense when the sun is setting and when the sun is coming up. The LDR tells the interior components of the light fixture when to begin storing light energy from the sun (during the day) and when to begin giving off solar light at night. When this particular part isn't working, try drying off the LDR because it may have gotten wet during a rain and if that does not work then it needs to be replaced. Don't worry, they are cheap.

Once you have had your solar lights for an extended period of time, your batteries will no longer hold a full charge and begin to give off dim light at night when it should be bright light. If you have your lights position correctly and they are getting direct sunlight and have no other damages, then it is the solar batteries that need to be replaced. They are not expensive and manufactures offer them pretty cheap.If your interested in getting online discount coupons on solar lighting, click OUTDOOR SOLAR LIGHTS
