Charging Tips
For maximum brightness, allow PolyGlow™ stones to receive direct sunlight rather than filtered light.
On cloudy days, supplement charging with a UV torch or strong artificial lighting.
Darker areas may require longer charging times to achieve peak glow performance.
Avoid heavy surface coatings that block UV light, as this can reduce overall illumination strength.
Regularly clean surface area to allow optimal light absorbtion
