Q. How long will it stay lit at night?
A. About 6–8 hours on a full charge.
Q. How do I turn it on for the first time?
A. Hold down the button for at least 3 seconds on the base to switch it on. After that, it comes on at dusk and turns off at dawn by itself.

A. Flash, Strobe, Fade and Smooth. You can also pick constant white or a single colour, and turn the brightness up or down, all from the remote.
Q. What's the range of the remote?
A. 3–5 metres. It's infrared, so point it at Santa with nothing in the way.
