!Step 1: Map Out Garden Focal Points
Begin by walking your yard at dusk to identify dark zones and key focal points. Determine where accent lights will add the most value—such as along flower bed borders, beside patio seating, or framing walkway entrances. Place orb fixtures near broad-leaf plants to create dramatic shadow play across your lawn.
Step 2: Prepare Soil and Position Ground Stakes

When inserting lighting stakes into garden beds, avoid forcing the hardware into hardened dirt. If the ground is too hard, soften the soil with water or dig a small starter hole before pushing in the ground stake. Attach the orb light securely so it remains upright during high winds.
Step 3: Optimize Solar Charging Exposure
To ensure your lights illuminate automatically at dusk, make sure the built-in solar panel receives ample direct sunlight. Avoid placing orb lights directly beneath dense tree canopies or overhanging eaves. With direct solar exposure, the built-in solar panel charges efficiently, providing approximately 6 to 8 hours of continuous night operation.
Step 4: Program RGB Lighting Modes and Brightness
Take advantage of customizable color options using the included IR remote control within a range of up to 16.4 feet. Select from 16 static RGB colors, 4 dynamic color-changing modes, and 8 levels of brightness adjustment to match your evening event. Construction made from durable PE Plastic measuring 8 inches inches ensures long-term outdoor beauty.
