how many volts does a malibu solar garden light produce on a typical day?

We Answered:

I'm pretty sure that this is the same light, only shown with a removable top cap:

As it says on the Home Depot site, the light uses 12V and is 4W.

So, that means there's 1/3A going through these guys.


Hope this helps!

How do you clean the plastic cover on a solar garden light?

We Answered:

Very carefully- don't get moisture near the battery connection. Remove the top, take a clean cotton cloth, spray vinegar on it & wipe both inside & outside of the cover. Use a Q-tip for smaller areas. There is usually a cover on the batteries or they'll be somewhat recessed so cover can be cleaned. It won't affect the charging. If they cease to charge, replace or recharge batteries after allowing it to dry out, opened.

How do I fix my solar garden light?

We Answered:

Take it back to the store.It should work like this.The solar panel charges the battery during the day light hours,and the lights deplete the charge at night.Then it start all over again.You probably got a bad battery and it's not holding a charge.The lights glow when it's in the sun because the solar panel is feeding the lights directly.

Solar light garden batteries Are they interchangeable?

We Answered:

i can answer for my solar powered garden lights.

I can use any rechargable batteries in them & it's fine.

however with the charger you have to use the correct one for the batteries - not mix and match.
