The Solar Stepstone has been designed for outdoor use. The solar module in the center part converts sunlight into electricity, which is then stored in the integral rechargeable battery pack. The light switches on automatically when it gets dark and turns itself off when it get light or when the battery is fully discharged. The source of light comes from two premium amber LEDs (light emitting diode), which provides bright light but uses very little electricity. In order for the light to operate, the solar module needs to be placed in direct sunlight. The performance of the light e.g. the charging of the battery depends on the season.

Measures 13.5 inches diameter.

The included battery pack uses Nickel Metal Hydride batteries for worry free continuous charging. The Solar Panel uses a German Thin Film Silicon Technology. The long lasting LED bulb emits an amber light that is both pleasing and easy to see.
