NOTE: The performance of "Light my Shed™ 3" will vary with the time of year.
The duration of the light will be longer when the solar panel has had a full day in
the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: Keep snow and debris off the solar panel so the batteries can
recharge. If the solar panel is covered with snow for an extended period of time,
after the snow melts, allow all the batteries to charge in full, direct sunlight for at
least 6 hours to their maximum capacity.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children.
