Stick with me in this quick read because your solar lights are about to\nget a lot brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make\nSolar Lights Brighter in 7 Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s very common for solar lights in\nlandscape use or otherwise to lose their vibrancy and brightness over time. But\nnever fret! There&rsquo;s many solutions and simple tricks to try first before\ngetting your hands dirty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar power is not only the wave of the\nfuture, but also makes the planet happy and removes part of your carbon\nfootprint. If you&rsquo;ve made the switch to solar, I&rsquo;d like to first commend you\nnow for doing your part to help our one and only home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be an expensive investment up front\nwith the savings coming down the long-term path. If your light isn&rsquo;t shining as\nit should be. There are really quite a few things you can do about it before\nwaiting on long holds with customer service representatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve already tried the main remedies\nsuch as cleaning it, go ahead and skip to the section on gutting it. This will\nbe the longest section with a few variations and adjustments you can make to\nthe inside of your solar panel. If you&rsquo;re tech-savvy or know what you&rsquo;re doing,\nfeel free to jump to the juicy meat below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the newbies like me that claim to know\nnothing and live to learn, let&rsquo;s explore some probable causes that could be\nsuper quick fixes to your problem! Then you don&rsquo;t need to go all Robo-doctor\nand risk breaking the device from your lack of knowledge or experience. First\nthing to try will be &ndash;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #1 &ndash; Check\nit&rsquo;s Activated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound simple but no shame, we&rsquo;ve\nall purchased something and not pulled a ribbon out of the battery or what have\nyou. It&rsquo;s a very human mistake but rule this out this first if your solar light\ndoesn&rsquo;t seem to be functioning at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you&rsquo;ll need to do here goes as\nfollows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Check the lights are turned on.\nThere may be a switch on the bottom of side of your light panel that says on\nand off. Start here. You&rsquo;d be surprised how often this is the issue.<\/li><li>If it&rsquo;s on, check for the pull\ntab that&rsquo;s under\/around the battery. This is for new lights which may need this\ntab removed to function at all. If a new one isn&rsquo;t working, certainly confirm\nthis isn&rsquo;t the problem. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&rsquo;t bore you with more on this section\ncause it&rsquo;s really just that simple darlings! Next &ndash; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #2 &ndash; Check\nYou Have Proper Batteries &amp; No Corrosion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that your outdoor solar light works\nis by collecting solar energy through a panel and solar battery pack. These are\npetite batteries with LED bulbs (light-emitting diodes). It is common for solar\nlights to dull overtime and lose their brightness potency due to age and\nenvironment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One starter tip is to bring your solar\nlights in for the winter. The low temperatures can be hard on your device and\ncause them to break much sooner than warranty states. They should last you a\nlong time but only if properly cared for. Protect your battery and solar panels\nby preserving through the cold in the season where the sunshine shines less\nanyways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your lights are old as solar energy\nitself or new as can be &ndash; this issue may be the battery. Often the battery is\ncorroded or tarnished. Since the battery is truly the most important part of\nthe device, it&rsquo;s imperative to have a proper functioning battery for the solar\npanel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be a corroded battery that is\nkilling your energy quicker than it ought to and, in this case, you need to\nremove the battery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The steps to remove the corrosion from\nyour battery will be as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Check for debris and search for\nsigns of aging\/rusting\/corrosion inside of or around the battery.<\/li><li>If found, remove the battery.<\/li><li>Take a piece of sandpaper and a\ntoothpick. These will be your tools to scrape the corrosion from the tiny\nhard-to-reach nooks and crannies of the battery pack. Do the scraping gently\nand carefully. <\/li><li>Check the inside of the panel\nas well (not just the battery but where it gets plugged in) the corrosion could\nbe here from rain or wind elements that effect the longevity of your outdoor\nsolar lights.<\/li><li>Once thoroughly scraped of\ncorrosion, replace the battery and put the light fixture back together and in\nits original place. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking the batteries may sound simple but\nas you can see, there&rsquo;s more to ruling out this possibility than meets the eye.\nSame goes for cleaning the lenses and panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you purchase the light, you may want\nto go ahead and purchase a few backup replacements from the hardware store.\nThey will need replacing around every 2-3 years so keep them on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #3 &ndash; Check\nthe Lenses and Panels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine each section of your solar light.\nYou will be able to see if it&rsquo;s dirty or there&rsquo;s a buildup of debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This buildup of debris may look harmless\nenough and like standard wear and tear for any of your outdoor belongings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the factors you need to consider and\nhow this impacts your solar lights vibrancy\/brightness is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Your light is covered in dirt\nwhich means the sun&rsquo;s rays cannot reach the panel<\/li><li>The panel is not absorbing that\nlight, so nothing is stored in the battery<\/li><li>It will not run at night\nbecause light is being hindered during the day<\/li><li>Just like those little\nglow-in-the-dark stars we used to hang on our bedroom ceilings, if they don&rsquo;t\nget enough light, they won&rsquo;t shine bright. <\/li><li>The dirt is preventing your\nlight from shining brightly so it needs a good cleaning.<\/li><li>If you clean it often and still\ndon&rsquo;t notice a change, the next sections will cover what to try next.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of it as the energy you&rsquo;re\nactually <em>blocking and inhibiting <\/em>from being absorbed, it makes perfect\nsense why your lights need a good scrubbing every so often!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #4 &ndash;\nMonitor During the Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s say steps one through three were a\nbust. Don&rsquo;t give up yet, we&rsquo;re just making our way down the checklist! Now it&rsquo;s\ntime to get out your inspector gadget hat and keep an eye on this thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you&rsquo;ll do is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Examine each freshly cleaned\nlight during each time of the day. You&rsquo;re watching the light reach.<\/li><li>Notice where the solar light is\ngetting direct sunlight throughout the day. <\/li><li>If you notice it&rsquo;s mostly in\nthe shade, you need to pick a spot where it can truly absorb the energy it\nneeds to work in the evening. <\/li><li>Also monitor that no debris of\nbushes\/flowers are blocking the efficiency of your solar panels.<\/li><li>Once you understand your shade,\nput your lights in direct sunlight for the highest exposure possible.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re very attached to the spot you&rsquo;ve\npicked for your light, don&rsquo;t think this means moving it across the yard.\nSometimes it just takes a subtle shift of a couple feet for your solar panels\nto get the sun they need to function at their best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #5 &ndash;\nFollow-up at Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the easy step; simply check they&rsquo;re\nworking by nightfall. They ought to appear brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If some lights are brighter than others, it\ncould be the lids that cover them at the angles they do. In this case, grab the\ndim lights and turn it 180-degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This step should be the fun one as well\nbecause your light should be shining brighter for you to be enjoyed. Consider\nthat your solar lights can <strong><em>still<\/em><\/strong> actively charge even if they&rsquo;re\nnot turned on. This may sound crazy but might be the root of the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this problem, you may need to leave the\nsolar lights out of the sun for a few days and put them back outside but <strong><em>turned\noff<\/em><\/strong> this time. Sometimes they just need a break from being turned on,\nas wild as that sounds. They will still charge while turned off and this can\nactually help them retain a full and complete charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all of this, if the lights are <strong><em>still<\/em><\/strong>\nnot shining as bright as they used to, it&rsquo;s time to get your hands dirty. I\nhope you&rsquo;re ready because now it&rsquo;s time to open this bad boy up and see if we\ncan work some magic! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If All Else\nFails &ndash; Gut it! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be very fun but only if you know\nwhat you&rsquo;re doing to some degree. The good thing is that many solar lights are\nincredibly cheap and can be found at the dollar store. Because of this, you can\nexperiment with a few and not risk losing all your money to a failed attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the cheaper solar lights will be\naround 2-5 volts which is very low. The steps to rig your device and make your\nsolar light shine brighter from the inside out goes as follows:<\/p><p>This article is owned by SolarPowerGenie.com and was first published on October 8, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Take the device apart and\ndisconnect everything. Yes, everything. <\/li><li>Notice the battery size and\nreplace it with a battery that is higher-double it&rsquo;s mah\/volt power. (For these\npetite sizes, some hackers use a 500mah battery which may sound high but is the\nperfect amount for this project) It will depend on your exact model and the\nvoltage it is equipped to handle, so know what you&rsquo;re working with first and\nscale it to this method.<\/li><li>Most all circuits will have an\ninductor, which is the part which makes your solar light brighter or dimmer.\nLook up a picture if you&rsquo;re more visual to know which part you&rsquo;ll be adjusting\nhere but it is quite simple.<\/li><li>Make some modifications to the\ncircuit and experiment with adding extra bulbs. Simply use wire tighteners to\nfasten two lights and match up the corresponding positive and negative ends.<\/li><li>Modifying the circuit may\ninvolve changing the inductor value (making it shine brighter)<\/li><li>Reconnect the pack and pop the\nlid back on for a doubled light source! <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Next how to amplify your charger:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Gut the circuit and remove any\nunnecessary plastic so more light is reaching your battery and panel. <\/li><li>If you need to create your own\nbatter holder for the solar light, take two springs and glue them into place as\na normal battery configuration would be laid out.<\/li><li>Cut a square in the top of your\npanel or decide where the light will be reached. Usually it is on the top of\nyour light for direct sun exposure.<\/li><li>Reconnect all and leave out to\ncharge!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Another method to try which may be simpler\nis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Disassemble by simply removing\nthe top lid. Sometimes the lid is what&rsquo;s blocking the sunlight from making your\nlights as bright as they should be. <\/li><li>Take the lid off and twist the\nhousing counterclockwise (either by hand or with a Phillips-head screwdriver). <\/li><li>Place a new battery in at this\ntime if you feel that is part of the problem (it&rsquo;s already opened so good time\nto consider it).<\/li><li>Seal it back up and if you&rsquo;ve\nconstructed the light yourself (which many of you genius techys are doing out\nthere these days!) feel free to use whatever material is available to seal it.\nThis includes hot glue guns and super glue, just be careful not to get it on\nthe battery or panel that absorbs light.<\/li><li>Now that it&rsquo;s reassembled, test\nit in the sunlight to be sure it&rsquo;s shining brightly again.<\/li><li>Place back in its original home\nin the landscape.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few hacks to try if you&rsquo;re\nalready deep in the world of construction and technology. If not, these may be\noverwhelming to you and not even worth attempting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be sure you don&rsquo;t damage it more, it may\nbe time to call support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last Resort &ndash;\nContact Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That headline is an unintentional poem of\nspontaneity that I&rsquo;m quite proud of. But it doesn&rsquo;t lie!<\/p><p>This article is owned by SolarPowerGenie.com and was first published on October 8, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find calling the helpline to be the\nabsolute last resort because wait times are long, there&rsquo;s a lot of turnover in\ncustomer service so everyone seems new at their job and uncertain of what to do\nnext (bless their hearts, be patient with them!), <strong><em>and<\/em><\/strong> it usually\nends in you getting a replacement anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, perhaps going directly to the\nstore you purchased it from is an easier trip. It can be faster face-to-face\nrather than waiting on long hold times and being passed around to different\nagents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m sorry if it&rsquo;s come to this, but\nsometimes you just have a defective model and need to go directly to the\nsource. If it&rsquo;s something that can be fixed, they are the ones to do it best.\nBring it to the ones who created it and worst case, get your money back and try\nwith another brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often you are under warranty for the first\nyear, so it shouldn&rsquo;t come to that. The company that sold to you should make\nthe process relatively simple to switch out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lights growing dim in your solar panel\nis annoying problem but not a very severe or consequential one. Take it for\nwhat it is and do your best to work through the steps calmly and not give up on\nthe device at the first sign of dullness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that some solar lights are\nactually <strong><em>intended<\/em><\/strong> to be rather dim. Research models before\npurchasing and confirm that you haven&rsquo;t purchased some kind of &lsquo;Ambient&rsquo;\nlighting that is intended to be romantic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar panels are a wonderful option to\nutilize and not make your electricity bill overly pricey. Solar power is right\nat our fingertips and there are panels to charge your cell phones, solar\npowered calculators, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This renewable energy source is the direction\nEurope and Australia are moving in with their hopes to have a huge source of\ntheir continent&rsquo;s power in Solar energy by 2050. I hope America can keep pace\nand do their part to aid this worthwhile cause that benefits us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to you for doing your part\nto purchase eco-conscious lights and opt for energy sources that don&rsquo;t harm the\nplanet. If everyone did their part like you, the world would inarguably be a\nbetter place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Think about it. When destructive Fossil fuel and oils spill, the world perishes, and ecosystems suffer.&nbsp; When there&rsquo;s a solar energy spill, it&rsquo;s just called a nice day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<p>Photo by&nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@muffin?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\">Muffin&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>from&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/close-up-photo-of-street-lamps-1629998\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/why-do-solar-lights-need-batteries\/\">Why Do Solar Lights Need Batteries?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/how-to-fix-solar-lights-that-come-on-during-the-day\/\">How to Fix Solar Lights That Come on During the Day<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/are-solar-powered-water-features-any-good\/\">Are Solar-powered Water Features Any Good?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/the-10-best-solar-powered-bird-baths-you-can-buy\/\">The 10 Best Solar Powered Bird Baths You Can Buy<\/a><\/p><p>This article is owned by SolarPowerGenie.com and was first published on October 8, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/can-solar-powered-lights-catch-fire\/\">Can solar powered lights catch fire?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar energy is a brilliant direction for the world&rsquo;s energy sources and power companies to move in.
