Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on
Ensure the plug is securely inserted into a working power outlet. Check that the transformer is dry if used outdoors. Try a different power outlet to rule out an issue with the original socket.
Some LEDs are not illuminating
Check for any visible damage to the cable or individual icicles. Ensure all connections are secure. If an icicle appears faulty, it may need to be replaced if the unit is not designed for individual icicle repair.
Lights flash inconsistently or not as expected
Press the button on the transformer to cycle through the different light sequences again. Ensure the transformer is not wet, as moisture can affect functionality.
Transformer is wet or has been exposed to water
Immediately unplug the lights from the power source. Dry the transformer thoroughly with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely in a warm, well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours before attempting to use it again. Do not use if any signs of moisture remain.
