The Newgarden Allegra Solar String Lights are designed for homeowners and decorators looking to add a warm, ambient glow to both indoor and outdoor spaces. These lights feature a rustic jute cable and decorative filament-style bulbs, providing a natural aesthetic that works well on balconies, terraces, or as living room accents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your lights, ensure the solar panel is positioned in an area with direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours for optimal battery charging. If using indoors, connect the unit to a standard USB power source. The IP44 rating confirms the lights are splash-proof; however, it is advised to avoid submerging the power unit or bulbs in water. To maintain the jute cable and bulb integrity, wipe the cables occasionally with a dry cloth and ensure that the bulbs are not subject to high-impact mechanical stress. When storing for the season, ensure the battery is fully charged via USB to preserve the lithium cell health.
