Charging Tips

For maximum brightness, allow PolyGlow™ stones to receive direct sunlight rather than filtered light.

N

On cloudy days, supplement charging with a UV torch or strong artificial lighting.

N

Darker areas may require longer charging times to achieve peak glow performance.

N

Avoid heavy surface coatings that block UV light, as this can reduce overall illumination strength.

N

Regularly clean surface area to allow optimal light absorbtion
