NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp post will vary with the time of year. It will
last longer when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast
weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will charge the
batteries much more efficiently.
