Keeping Your Hot Rod in Top Condition: Care Instructions

Maintaining your Rat Fink Solar Light is incredibly simple, leaving you more time to admire its awesome glow. To ensure optimal performance, occasionally wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. This guarantees it can absorb the maximum amount of sunlight. The durable ABS plastic body can also be cleaned with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. In winter months with less sunlight, the charge may not last as long, which is normal for all solar products.
