Step 4 · Final Check and Activation

Once all lights are mounted, conduct a thorough check to ensure they are stable, properly aligned, and that no wires (if any were used for non-solar variants, though these are solar) are exposed or dangling. If the lights have an 'on/off' switch that needs to be set to 'on' for automatic nighttime operation, ensure this is done. Cover the solar panels of each light with your hand or a dark cloth to simulate nighttime conditions and verify that each light illuminates correctly.
