Step 2 · Test Lights and Batteries

Remove the solar post-cap lights from their packaging. Locate any protective film or tab covering the solar panel or battery compartment. If there's a tab, remove it. Place the lights in direct sunlight for a few hours, or follow the manufacturer's instructions for initial charging. After charging, test each light, typically by covering the solar panel to simulate darkness and checking if the light turns on. Ensure all lights are functioning as expected before proceeding.
