Product Information
Full details
The Paulmann Solar LED Fairy Lights Soala are designed for those looking to effortlessly enhance their outdoor spaces with ambient lighting. The key benefit is their solar-powered, automatic operation, providing a warm white glow without external power sources or manual switching. A potential caveat is the reliance on sunlight for charging, which may affect performance on overcast days. These fairy lights feature 30 integrated LEDs along a 3.9-meter length, a built-in dusk sensor for automatic activation, and IP44 splash protection, making them suitable for various outdoor and damp indoor environments.

FAQs
Are the LEDs replaceable?
No, the 30 LEDs are permanently integrated into the fairy light string and are not individually replaceable.
How long do the lights stay on?
The duration the lights stay on depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel receives during the day. On a full charge, they can typically last for several hours after dark.
Can these lights be used in the rain?
Yes, with an IP44 rating, they are splash-proof and suitable for outdoor use, including in rainy conditions.
Where is the best place to put the solar panel?
The solar panel should be placed in a location that receives direct, unobstructed sunlight for at least 6-8 hours per day, ideally facing south in the Northern Hemisphere.
Can I connect multiple Soala fairy light sets together?
The product information does not specify if these lights are connectable. It is designed as a single 3.9-meter string.
What is the color temperature of the light?
The Soala fairy lights emit a warm white light with a color temperature of 3000 Kelvin.
Troubleshooting
Fairy lights do not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check if the dusk sensor is obstructed or dirty. Verify the connection between the solar panel and the light string is secure.
Lights turn on during the day.
The dusk sensor might be faulty or the ambient light is too low. Ensure the solar panel is not covered during daylight hours. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Dim or short-lived light.
The solar panel may not be receiving enough sunlight. Try repositioning the panel to a sunnier spot. The rechargeable battery might be nearing the end of its lifespan if the unit is several years old.
Fairy lights are not charging.
Clean the solar panel surface. Ensure the panel is correctly oriented towards the sun. Check for any physical damage to the panel or cable connections.
