🔧 DIY Tips
Position solar panels facing south for maximum sun in the UK. Avoid shaded locations - trees and buildings reduce charging. Clean solar panels every few months to maintain efficiency. Most solar lights have on/off switches - turn off when not needed to extend battery life. For wall-mounted security lights, professional installation ensures secure fixing and optimal positioning.

Good to Know
Solar light batteries typically last 2-3 years before needing replacement. Winter performance is reduced - lights may only run 2-4 hours vs 8+ hours in summer. Quality solar lights outperform cheap ones significantly. Some locations are too shaded for solar lights to work effectively - we'll advise honestly.
