How much sunlight do these require?

Most gardens require 8 hours, but leafy plants require less 4 hours for salads per google.

My friend has some in her planters but they have to get direct sunlight in order to charge. These are wonderful! The best ones we have found.

yes, they are quite adequate. There are two settings. The lower is good for general lighting, the higher is fine for reading. They are good lights. I have two in my cabin and one in my shed. Lasts long and nice to have solar lighting. Easy to install.

Not sure if you can convert them. I bought mine (4 of them) earlier this year to accent four cornersof a landscape box I built. They receive about 6-8 hours of sun per day and are still lit when I goto the gym/work at 4:00 a.m. At $14 each, not sure the conversion would make sense, but hey anythingis possible. Certainly a quality base/foundation to begin with.

Nothing, you have to remember there are not that many hours of sunlight at this time of the year. The batteries are only getting charged enough to give a short time of light at night. Mine are in full sun all day too and I maybe get a hour of light. In the summer they get so many more hours of light and it first gets dark at 8:oo or 9:00 central time, then they seem to stay lit almost all night. If you want them to stay lit longer for a few nights, remove the battery and give it a full charge in a battery charger that you plug in to an electrical outlet. I hope this helps.

You need several hours of sunlight, probably a continuous cycle of sunlight during several days. It will burn weakly but goes out after a few hours if the sun has not recharged them totally. Other than that I like the lights, the light produced when fully charged and being able to place where I want light.

Sorry I have not used them yet, but I would think that it depends on the light it self.

6500k = to natural daylight. Great for growing plants. I use them for aquarium plants.

I do not have mine installed with direct sunlight and they charge just fine. They are installed under a ledge of a stone wall it absorbs enough energy to stay lit all night without issue. Installed 8+ months. No problems.

Yes. They thrive in bright, indirect sunlight, but they can survive in fairly low light.

The batteries are already in the light. Just place the light where it will get direct sunlight for 3 - 4 days, after which you can turn on the light in the proper mode that suits you. These lights need at least 10 hrs of sunlight a day.

Hello, I used this product for indoor where there is not much sunlight. I am sorry that I cannot provide you informative detail.

It does require full sun. Mine usually gets about 6-8 hours and is doing well.

Mine seem to be doing okay but I make sure they get 6 to 8 hours of sun daily. Sometimes I have to move them when the seasons change but it has worked for me so far.

They are dark enough to be sun shades, too dark for computer use, I use them on sunny days when I'm outside doing yard work

So far nothing, they look the same as when I got them, they are still the same size too. I have been following the instructions, except there isn't much sunlight anymore. They arestarting to look really shriveled, and I am afraid they will not last through winter.

Mine are planted on a steep hill with all day sun. I don't know what would be premium sun quantity, but most of mine seem to be growing.
