FAQs

How long do the lights stay on for?

In optimal summer conditions with a full charge, the lights can provide up to 8 hours of illumination.

Are these lights suitable for year-round outdoor use?

These lights are designed for use throughout the summer months. Due to shorter daylight hours and less direct sunlight in winter, performance may be significantly reduced. Storage during winter is recommended.

How do I change the lighting functions?

There is a button on the solar panel unit that allows you to cycle through the 8 different lighting functions. Press the button repeatedly to select your desired mode.

What is the total length of the lights?

The string features 4.75 meters of lights, with an additional 3 meters of lead cable from the solar panel to the first bulb.

Can I replace the bulbs?

The LEDs are integrated into the design and are not individually replaceable. If a bulb fails, the entire string may need attention.

How should I clean the lights?

Gently wipe the bulb caps and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the diameter of each bulb cap?

Each clear perspex bulb cap is 6cm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Lights are not turning on

Ensure the solar panel is positioned in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours. Check that the unit is switched on and that the sensor is not obstructed. Clean the solar panel surface.

Lights are dim or do not last long

The solar panel may not be receiving enough sunlight. Relocate the panel to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. Battery performance may degrade over time, especially after prolonged periods of low light.

Lights only work for a short period

This can be due to insufficient charging time. Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for a full day. Heavily overcast weather can also impact performance.

Lights stay on during the day

The daylight sensor may be obstructed or faulty. Ensure there is no direct light source (like a strong porch light) directly hitting the sensor. Clean the sensor area.
