In the FAQ section is the following;


Q) I tried to charge my new light under a lamp and it does not work.
What should I do?

A) Our lights will not charge indoors under a lamp with artificial
lighting. They need to be placed outside in direct sunlight to
charge. Before packaging lights the batteries are tested and 30%
charged. We recommend placing allowing up to full 3 days of sunlight
to fully charge the batteries before initially using the light.

How does that work then? I thought light was light?

SWMBO came home today with a solar LED light from DSL, purchased from
Morrisons.

The destructions say; "You can also charge the solar lights outdoors then
use them as indoor illumination"

So that confirms that sunlight is stronger or of different wavelength than
internal lights.

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
