Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on
Check that the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity. Ensure the batteries are fresh and not depleted. Clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth. Make sure the switch is set to the 'ON' or 'TIMER' position.
Lights flicker or are dim
The batteries may be low on power and need replacing. Ensure the battery compartment is clean and the batteries are making good contact.
Timer function is not working
Confirm the switch is set to the 6-hour timer position. Ensure the batteries have sufficient power, as low battery levels can affect timer accuracy. Reset by switching to OFF and then back to the timer setting.
Lights not working after being exposed to rain
Although IP44 rated for splashes, prolonged submersion or heavy rain could cause damage. Ensure the battery compartment is sealed properly and has dried completely. Check for any visible damage to the wiring or seals.
