First, be sure to activate the battery by gently pulling up and out on the clear plastic packaging tab.  Then, make sure the plastic protector from the top of the LED unit covering the solar charging panel has been removed and the light switch is in the ‘ON’ position. Allow an initial charge of a full 8-12 hours in the sun (preferably 2 full days in the sun).  

Check that the solar panel is clear of any dirt or debris.

Ensure the feeder is displayed in a location where the solar panel (not the feeder) gets a minimum of 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Keep in mind, if the weather has been cloudy or rainy this can temporarily impact the ability to recharge.  

A simple test you can do before replacing the solar light/rechargeable batteries: Place your solar light under direct sunshine (or an indoor light) for a day or two and see what happens. If, after this duration, the illumination time has returned to normal, it means that the solar panel was not getting enough light from the sun.

If you are certain the LED solar light is getting enough sun to charge, a check can be done to see if it is the battery or the light that is not working.  You will need a small-head Phillips screwdriver and a new (AAA) battery.  Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 3 small screws to open the case. Use caution when opening the case that no wires are pulled loose. Carefully remove the battery from the LED light and insert the new AAA battery. Cover the solar panel with your hand to make it appear to be dark. If the light works using the regular AAA battery, it is the battery that needs replaced. A new rechargeable battery can be purchased at a local store and inserted. Be aware that the LED light/new battery will need a full charge to work properly.

If you are in need of a new solar-powered LED unit, you can purchase one on our website here.
