FAQs
How long do the lights stay on once charged?
The duration depends on the amount of sunlight received during the day. On a full charge from adequate sunlight, they can typically illuminate for several hours into the evening.
Can I replace the LEDs?
The LEDs are integrated into the design and are not user-replaceable. The lifespan of the LEDs is designed for extended use.
What is the length of the cable with the lights?
The length of the cable featuring the rattan spheres is 5.25m in total, with 2.25m of illuminated length and an additional 3m of lead wire to the solar panel.
Can I use these lights indoors?
While they are designed for outdoor use, they can be used indoors if placed near a window where the solar panel can receive sunlight. However, the USB charging option makes them versatile for any indoor location.
What are the dimensions of the rattan spheres?
Each rattan sphere has a diameter of approximately 6.4cm.
Do I need to buy batteries for the solar panel?
No, the solar panel contains a rechargeable battery that is charged by sunlight or via the included USB cable. No external batteries are required.
What should I do during winter months?
Due to shorter daylight hours and potentially harsher weather, it is recommended to store the solar fairy lights indoors during winter and bring them out again in spring when conditions improve.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is switched to the 'on' position. Verify that the solar panel has received at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for charging. If not, use the USB cable to charge the battery fully. Check that the lights are not in a brightly lit area, as they are designed to activate in darkness.
Lights are dim or do not stay on for long.
The solar panel may not be receiving enough sunlight. Relocate the solar panel to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel surface with a soft cloth. If using the USB, ensure it is fully charged. Performance may be reduced during shorter winter days; consider storing them during this period.
Solar panel is not charging.
Clean the surface of the solar panel. Ensure it is positioned in direct sunlight and not obstructed. Check the USB charging port for any debris and try charging with the USB cable as an alternative.
Water ingress in rattan spheres.
