Hello James,

The Bright Way Group 7.5-watt solar charger # BRW54FR does have a charging indicator light, but it is not located on the solar panel itself. The LED is built into the small black charge controller that is inline on the wire between the panel and the battery. I attached a screenshot of the video so you can see when she points to where the light is.

Because the light is very small and blends into the black housing, it can be easy to miss, especially in bright sunlight. When the panel is receiving sunlight and charging the battery, the light will typically illuminate or blink to indicate charging activity. If the battery is already close to fully charged or there is limited sunlight, the light may be very faint, blink occasionally, or not appear at all, which is normal operation for this type of solar charger.

What kind of battery are you charging with the solar panel?

Hey James, how did things go with the indicator light on your Bright Way solar charger once you checked the charge controller? Your update could make it easier for others to spot the light on their setup too.
