FAQs
How long does the OHS Solar Floor Lamp stay lit?
The illumination duration depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel receives during the day. On a full charge from ample sunlight, it can typically last for several hours after dusk.
Do I need to turn the lamp on and off manually?
No, the lamp is designed with an automatic light sensor. It will turn on when it detects darkness and turn off when it detects light (like at dawn).
What is the best placement for this solar lamp?
Place the lamp in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight each day to ensure optimal charging.
Is the lamp waterproof?
The lamp is constructed from weather-resistant materials designed for outdoor use. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. Prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions may affect its lifespan.
How do I clean the solar panel?
Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface or damage the protective coating.
What happens on cloudy days?
On cloudy or overcast days, the solar panel will still charge, but at a reduced rate. This may result in shorter illumination times or dimmer light output during the evening.
Can I use this lamp indoors?
This lamp is designed specifically for outdoor use and relies on direct sunlight for charging. It will not function effectively or charge indoors.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions. Verify the lamp has received at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Check if the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. In very cloudy conditions, the battery may not charge sufficiently.
Lamp has a short illumination time.
The battery may not be fully charged. Ensure optimal sunlight exposure daily. If the issue persists after several sunny days, the battery might need replacement (refer to manufacturer for replacement parts).
Flickering light.
This could be due to a loose connection or a low battery charge. Clean the solar panel and ensure it's receiving direct sun. If the problem continues, contact customer support.
Metal frame shows signs of wear.
Clean with a damp cloth. For minor scratches, touch-up paint suitable for outdoor metal may be used. Ensure the product is not exposed to corrosive elements.
