You have stated on your FAQ that all your lights are designed to work in the UK winter, however, the ones I bought off you a couple of weeks ago hardly come on even though the solar panel has been placed south facing so it is in a place where it would receive the maximum amount of daylight hours. Please advise as we are quite disappointed with their performance. Many thanks.
