So i just moved into a home that was built in 2002. I have two lights on each side of the garage in order to light up the driveway. I have put in nice new energy efficient bulbs and sometimes they turn on at night and sometimes they do not. WTF? I have literally walked around the house and turned on every switch at the same time to no avail. The lights in the backyard have switches and I know how to use those, I just flick them on and off, but the exterior garage lights are smarter than me. There has to be a timer somewhere as I see no solar panels. Where might one find this timer besides the obvious places like switches and outlets?

My mother got me solar powered yard lights as an anniversary present. We stuck them in the ground last week and none of them have turned on. Not one! I would think it be odd if perhaps one didn’t turn on but none of them have. My yard gets direct sunlight throughout the day.

I am wondering if the wrapping paper she used to send them to me is the culprit. She used a special aluminum foil-like wrapping paper to wrap them in. I haven’t heard of tin foil ruining solar powered lights before but that is the only thing I can think of. I see no switches or buttons to press on the lights. My husband and I are just dumbfounded since we assumed that they would just automatically turn on after soaking up the sunlight for a day or two.

Help us solve this riddle!
