FAQs
Are the bulbs replaceable?
The bulbs are integrated with the string for durability; they are shatterproof and designed for long-term use, so they do not require individual replacement.
How long is the total cord length?
The total length is 15 meters, providing ample coverage for most standard-sized patios and garden features.
Can I leave these out during a rainstorm?
Yes, the lights are rated IP65 waterproof, meaning they are built to withstand rain, snow, and moisture exposure.
Do I need to turn the lights off manually?
No, the built-in smart chip automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn, or you can manage them via the provided controls.
Is the USB-C cable included?
Yes, the package includes the necessary components to utilize the USB-C charging feature for supplemental power.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on automatically at dusk
Ensure the solar panel is not placed near bright artificial light sources which may trick the light sensor into thinking it is still daytime.
Dim output even after a sunny day
Clean the solar panel surface of debris or bird droppings, and ensure the panel is angled directly toward the sun.
Lights flicker or do not turn on
Check the USB-C connection if using the wired option, or allow the solar panel to charge for a full 24-hour cycle under sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the flexible, lightweight wiring. Ensure that all bulb connections are tight to maintain the IP65 seal. When installing, use zip ties or hooks to support the wire weight rather than hanging by the bulbs themselves. To keep the lights performing optimally, wipe the solar panel surface with a damp, soft cloth every few weeks to remove dust or debris that might block sunlight. During extended periods of severe winter weather or storage, it is recommended to disconnect the unit and store it in a dry, indoor area.
