Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on automatically at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the switch is in the 'ON' position (if applicable). Verify that the area is truly dark, as light from other sources can prevent activation. Allow the unit to charge for a full day.
Lights turn on during the day.
The light sensor might be obstructed or too sensitive. Ensure the solar panel is not exposed to direct light sources after dark. Check if there is a dedicated 'ON/OFF' switch and ensure it is set correctly.
Lights have a short runtime.
The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Ensure the panel is clean and positioned for maximum sun exposure. The battery may be old and losing its capacity; consider replacement if the product is old.
LEDs are flickering or not all lights are working.
Check all connections between the solar panel and the string lights. Inspect the string for any visible damage to the wires or individual LEDs. If damage is found, the string may need to be replaced.
