HOW MANY HOURS DO SOLAR FESTOON LIGHTS REMAIN ON DURING THE NIGHT?

The ability of festoon lights to remain illuminated throughout the night depends on how efficiently they charge during the day and their overall quality. Solar panels typically require approximately 4-8 hours to fully charge. Once charged, they can provide light for a duration of 6-12 hours, which is influenced by several factors including the duration and intensity of direct sunlight received during the day, the quality and efficiency of the solar panels, as well as the total light output of the LEDs.

WHEN BEING CHARGED DURING THE DAYTIME, DO SOLAR FESTOON LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED?

Under normal functioning, solar festoon lights should remain off during daytime hours and turn on at night. These lights rely on sunlight to charge during the day, ensuring they have enough power to provide full illumination when it is dark. A frequent cause for solar lights turning on during daylight is typically attributed to issues such as faulty wiring or a malfunctioning light sensor, often resulting from water ingress caused by rain.

IS IT RECOMMENDED TO LEAVE SOLAR FESTOON LIGHTS IN PLACE THROUGHOUT ALL SEASONS?

Solar festoon lights provide stunning illumination year-round, whether it's during warm summer evenings or colder winter days.

While it is possible to leave your solar festoon lights outside if they are designed for outdoor use and are weatherproof, it's important to note that it can impact their performance.

Batteries operate optimally at room temperature, and the hotter it gets, the better they tend to perform. However, subjecting them to higher temperatures increases the risk of faster deterioration. In colder regions, batteries need to work harder to stay warm and function properly.

If you plan to use your festoon lights outdoors, ensure that they are specifically rated for outdoor and weatherproof use. These lights can be utilized and left outside throughout the entire year. However, do keep in mind that the lights may appear brighter or dimmer depending on the prevailing weather conditions and the season.
