Step 1: Choose an Unshaded Spot

Select a spot in your garden or lawn that receives direct, unshaded sunlight for at least 6-8 hours hours daily. Avoid positioning the panel beneath heavy tree branches or porch roof overhangs.

Step 2: Prepare the Soil

Check the soil density where you plan to install the light. If the ground is extremely dry or hard-packed, moisten it slightly with water to prevent damaging the stake during insertion.

Step 3: Insert the Stake Securely

Align the post vertically and push the ground stake down 4-6 inches inches into soft earth. Ensure the fixture stays upright so the solar panel sits flat facing upward towards sunlight.

Step 4: Verify Night Activation

Allow the battery to charge throughout the day. At dusk, the light will automatically activate, displaying bright colors across your lawn or event space.
