Using this personalized solar light is easy. First, place it in an area where it can get plenty of sunlight during the day so it can charge up. As dusk falls, it will automatically turn on and display a beautiful multi - color light show. At dawn, it will turn off by itself. When handling the light, be gentle as it's made of acrylic and can break if dropped. Keep it clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth every now and then. In case of heavy rain or extreme weather, it's a good idea to bring it indoors to protect it. That way, you can keep using this special light to remember your loved one for a long time.
