The manual is short, because there is nothing to note further, as the lamp can be activated by beigepacktem key needs and that they naturally need sun to recharge the batteries for the night. The brightness is surprising in such a small device. She gets to busy days clouds no direct sun, it still works - perhaps less long, but two or three hours it still provides light. Whether the specified period of five years is true remains to be seen. That would be (at the current retail price of 15 EUR) 3 euros per year - a manageable investment for the balcony light without cables or batteries. My conclusion: Very compact and unproblematic equipment with bright light (a rather cold white) for a cheap price.
