Questions and Answers for Veranda 4 in. x 4 in. (3.5 x 3.5 Post Size) 3 Lumens Copper Plated Plastic Solar Post Cap

A:  Hi, could you pls check below information for how to change batteries？ Firstly, twist and remove the housing from the top cover. Then remove the battery cover. Replace the old battery with 2 fresh AA NiMH 1200 mAh rechargeable batteries. At last, resemble the battery cover and housing. For optimum performance, it is best to install the solar light in full sunlight and let it charge for 6-7 hours. Allow the light to run at least 8-12 entire charging and discharging cycles to reach the maximum capacity of the battery.

A:  Hi, Larry. Could you pls check below link for rechargeable batteries? It could be used for your light. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Energizer-Power-Plus-Rechargeable-AA-Batteries-4-Pack-Double-A-Batteries-NH15BP-4/100635505 Thanks for your question.

A:  It just sits on the post and is fastened with 2 included screws.

A:  My fence posts were a little bit too large for cap to fit correctly. I filed them down a bit then used the screws to tighten onto the post.

A:  Use small screws in the bottom of the lights to anchor the light to top of post. Must cut top of post so it is horizontal. Slide light over top of post before applying screws. 

A:  In my experience it needs to be in direct sunlight, or else it won’t charge properly. 

A:  Direct light is preferred, but indirect light will charge it enough for several hours of light after sunset. It’s unlikely you’ll get much of a charge if it’s in shadows most of the day.  

A:  No. Once the sun sets they automatically turn on. 

A:  Yes. Easy to remove for winter too

A:  No. On at dusk, off at dawn. Has a solar rechargeable battery. I’ve had mine for nearly two years with original batteries.

A:  Not in a conventional way no. However if you turn the top section 1/4 turn to the left it disengages the battery. 

A:  No.  There is no power switch.  You can easily remove the top and remove the battery.  

A:  They fit perfectly over a 4x4 pressure treated post. If a sleeve covers over the p.t. post, then the light will not fit. I hope this helps.
