Solar Panel  (277-1201)       Troubleshooting          Faxback Doc. # 16411

What type of light is required to operate the Solar Energy Project?

    Direct sunlight or relatively close to an incandescent light bulb (do
    not leave too close to light bulb or the plastic protective case could
    melt).  Florescent and ambient room light will not operate the motor.
