Where to get a particular solar light part?

March 14, 2023 4:18 PM

This question is probably easy for everyone except me. I have a couple of these. The little solar light in one stopped working and I want to replace it, but I am apparently not using the right words to look up this part. (It’s not a normal mini solar panel but has a wire going down to the light.) Please help!

Best answer: It may be this one? This one includes the light, so you may have to remove the old one, but it should plug right in.

Best answer: You may just have to replace the battery. I've done a few of these for friends and replaced the NiCad AA battery and they've worked a charm! It looks like the battery might be in the panel assembly. I've got family popping in momentarily, but I'll do more research later. Should be a simple fix!

Response by poster: Thank you both! I ordered some appropriate batteries and a new light, we’ll see which one works.
