Product Information
Full details
These 200 LED Solar Garden String Lights are designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with effortless, ambient lighting. The primary benefit is the solar-powered, hands-free operation that eliminates the need for external wiring or electricity costs; however, users should note that the brightness and duration of illumination depend heavily on the amount of direct sunlight the solar panel receives during the day.

FAQs
Can I use these lights indoors?
These are designed specifically for outdoor use as they rely on the external solar panel for charging.
Do I need to turn them on and off every day?
No, the built-in light sensor handles the activation automatically based on ambient light levels.
How long is the string?
The string has a total length of 20 metres.
Are the lights waterproof?
The lights are designed for outdoor use and are weather-resistant, though they should not be submerged in water.
What should I do if the lights stop working?
First, check for a full day of charge. If they still fail, ensure the panel is clean and that the wiring between the panel and string is intact.
Troubleshooting
Lights will not turn on at night
Check if the solar panel is obscured by shadows or if it is placed near other bright light sources that interfere with the automatic sensor.
Lights are dim or stay on for a short time
Ensure the solar panel is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Clean the surface of the panel to remove any debris or dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the solar panel stake in a location with maximum sunlight exposure, ensuring the panel face is clean and unobstructed. Once positioned, run the 20m light string along your desired path or structure.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt, which can significantly improve charging efficiency.
- Winter Storage: If you live in an area with harsh winters, it is recommended to store the lights indoors during the coldest months to prolong the battery lifespan.
- Placement: Ensure the panel is not placed near artificial light sources (like porch lights), as this may trick the sensor into thinking it is daytime, preventing the lights from activating.
