FAQs
Are the LEDs in these lights replaceable?
No, the LEDs are non-replaceable. If an LED fails, the entire string may need to be replaced.
Can I leave these lights on all night?
The lights have an automatic 6-hour timer function that turns them off. If you wish them to be on for longer, you would need to reset the timer or plug them into a separate timer. They are not designed for continuous 24-hour operation without utilizing the timer or external control.
What does the green light on the transformer button mean?
The green light on the transformer button indicates that the 8-hour on / 16-hour off timer function is active.
Can these lights be used permanently outdoors?
These lights are rated for indoor and temporary outdoor use. The transformer must be kept dry at all times, meaning they are not suitable for permanent outdoor installations where they would be exposed to harsh weather conditions.
How long is the lead cable from the plug to the first light?
The lead cable from the plug to the first bulb is 8 meters long.
What is the total length of the lights?
The total length of the cable with lights is 38.3 meters.

Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on
Ensure the plug is securely inserted into the power outlet. Check that the transformer is properly connected to the light string. Try a different power outlet to rule out an issue with the socket.
Lights are not changing effect or timer is not working
Ensure you are short-pressing the button for effect changes and long-pressing for the timer. Check that the transformer is powered on. If the timer button is green, the timer is active.
Some LEDs are not working
As LEDs are non-replaceable, check for any visible damage to the cable or connections. If the issue affects a large portion or is clearly a defect, contact the retailer for support. Minor flickering may resolve itself, but consistent failure indicates a potential issue with the string.
Lights are not remembering the last setting
Ensure the lights are fully powered off and then on again via the mains plug. The memory function works best when the lights are not abruptly cut from power. If the issue persists, try re-selecting your preferred setting.
