Q: Does the Liberty Light work straight out of the box?
A: Usually your Liberty Light will work directly out of the box. The steps bellow should be followed before you mount your solar light.

If you have the push button ON/OFF switch model you will press up (white dot on switch) for the OFF position and the photocell will not activate.
