Installation & Maintenance
Proper installation and regular maintenance are key to enjoying your chandelier for years to come.
Professional Installation
Easy -to-install solar lights, versus professionally installed hardwired lighting, some outdoor lights are easier to install than others.
Solar lights, for instance, don't require wiring, making installation a breeze. However, they may need more frequent maintenance to keep the solar panels clean.
Hardwired lights require professional installation but often provide more reliable illumination. Easy-to-install lights save you time and hassle, while professional installation ensures optimal performance and safety.
Regular Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures that your outdoor wall lights continue to function properly and look their best.
Clean the fixture regularly to remove dirt and debris. Check for any damaged or burnt-out bulbs and replace them promptly.
For solar lights, ensure the panels are clean and positioned to receive maximum sunlight. By taking care of your outdoor wall lights, you can enjoy beautiful, reliable illumination for years to come.
