Q: Are your products water-resistant?: A: Yes! Our ground and paver lights are PCB sealed and can function even when submerged in the water. However, we do not recommend installing the lights underwater since the water will interfere with sunlight recharge.
Q: Can Meteor lights handle heavy weight?: A: Our ground lights and paver products can tolerate compression from 2800 to 9000lbs, which is equivalent to the weight of a 4-16 ton truck.
Q: How long does it take to charge the product fully and how long will the lights remain illuminated after a full charge?: A: It takes at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge the product. A full charge should give at least 12 hours of illumination.

Q: How much illumination do your products give?: A: Our ground and paver lights are ideal ambience lights used for decoration. With specialized optical design, the lights can be seen from 300-400 yards away. Our new line of bollards, starting with the SP-030, combine larger solar panels with hybrid technology to provide illumination for surrounding areas.

Q: Do your products need any wiring for installation?: A: No. Our products are self-contained systems so no wiring or transformers are necessary for function.
Q: Do I need to hire a trained technician to replace our products or carry out maintenance?: A: No. Our ground and paver lights have an innovative case design which features housing that will always be secured to the ground by anchor plates so it is not necessary to dig up the entire unit. You only have to unscrew the anti-theft screws, take off the rim, and replace the main unit after 8-10 years. For our bollards, it is only necessary to change the battery every 5-6 years and that can be accomplished easily by unscrewing the anti-theft screws (location varies with bollard design).
