Does it have to be in direct sunlight?

Yes, direct sunlight or some very bright artificial lighting that replicates sunlight. Indirect sunlight is not sufficient to make it run.

It is best to get direct sunlight or the battery won't get charge properly and your light won't last long. I love this light cause it's on all night but when movement is detected it turns on brighter So the more sunlight it gets the better.

Patti,Sunlight is filtered through which allows lighting during the day. No sun screen is needed. Sincerely,Exclusive Home and Furniture Inc

Actually I'm not sure but if they don't say so then I guess not. It is a completely closed system so I'm not sure how sunlight could effect it either way. Hope that helped.

In daylight if you are not too far away it seems to work fine. Direct sunlight is another story, not bright enough to overcome that. But seems to work pretty well to around 100'.

Highly doubtful. You probably need direct sunlight at least 4-6 hours per day.

With good direct sunlight, you should have no problems. Shady days and the charging goes slower.

I'd say in indirect daylight/sunlight yes, but not in direct light or glare from a direct source such as the sun or very bright light.

Perhaps, but you'll have to be sure you're placing the solar panel where it will get substantial sunlight during the day.

I have mine in direct light, but I believe partial light would be fine. I love mine.

It's a little difficult in direct sunlight. I've took it to the pool with me and sat in the shade or used a towel to cast a shadow and that is fine.

If you can set it up in direct sunlight for for a few hours before you use it, that will help.

Yes, it actually says not to put it in direct sunlight. I grow mine in a shaded corner of my counter.
