Frequently asked questions
Can the batteries be recharged or changed.
Asked by Jean Phillips on 19 Nov 2023
The batteries can be recharged and they can be replaced. There is a 18650 battery in panel. We recommend with all our lights where instructed to charge them for 3-5 days before using the lights. The battery should not need to be replaced within the first year.
Hi, are the bulbs replaceable or are they integrated LEDs. If the latter, then I assume the whole light will need to be discarded when the integrated LEDs finally die. In this case how many hours can be expected from these units. Thanks
Asked by Michele Carnie on 15 Oct 2023
Hi Michele, the light bulbs are intergrated and would not be able to be replaced. With a full charge then can work up to 10 hours

Hi I have a few queries if you don't mind. 1) The description says the cable is 2.7m howeve, however in the FAQ's you have stated 4.5m, please could you confirm which is the correct length? 2) Do you know the IP rating for dust and waterproofing? 3) Is the battery replaceable? Thanks.

What is the maximum angle in the upwards direction? I would like to situate near to the house and shine upwards.
Asked by Brian Eames on 3 Apr 2021
This light can be adjusted up to 90 degrees. That should work and the light should be able to shine upwards.
Could you post a picture of the solar panel? I'd like to see how big it is. Thank you

Can the cable between the lights and solar panel be buried under earth or does it have to sit on the surface?
Asked by Nicola on 27 Mar 2021
That should be okay. The cables can be hidden inside the ground etc.
Hi, do these solar lights require batteries and if so what type?
Asked by Marion Murphy on 11 Mar 2021
The batteries are pre-installed.
Hi I like the look of these but would need a longer cable for the job. The lights would be used to highlight piece of sculpture in a shady spot but there will be a pergola a few metres away on which I would like to mount the solar panel to maximise exposure to sunlight. Is this possible and if so, could you suggest the extension cable. Many thanks Marian
Asked by Marian White on 20 Dec 2020
Sadly there is no extension cable for the Apollo at this time.
Can they be USB Charged when they don't work.?? This is what sets them apart from other Solar Lights, which I Love. They are abit pricey but yu don't mind paying if they work in my opinion. Thank You Solar Centre, my Garden is Lookin Beautiful.
Asked by Elaine on 3 Sep 2020
Thank you for you lovely comments and glad you love our lights as much as we do! These are non USB chargeable.
