Solar Garden Lights
16 Answers
Ok this might be a bit of a daft question, but . . . . .
Do solar lights need actual sun to charge or does any daylight do it? I presume the stronger the sun is the more quickly they charge.
I'm asking because I bought some small solar lights for the garden last week and they have been outside in the garden for approx 4 days but no sign of them lighting at night yet. The weather hasn't been good though - so do they need direct sun to charge and work?
Thanks.

Something up if not sufficient in summer though. Check for switches inside and out. Some advise charging via charger before first use. Otherwise try new rechargeable batteries. Or return for refund or replacement (or advice).
