FAQs
How long is the total length of the lights?
The total length of the lights includes a 0.5m clear lead cable and 1.65m of illuminated length, making the total reach approximately 2.15m.
What type of batteries are required?
The lights require 3 x AA batteries. These are not included with the product.
Can these lights be used outdoors?
No, these lights are rated IP20 and are intended for indoor use only.
How long do the batteries typically last?
You can expect up to 60 hours of illumination time from a single set of batteries.
How does the 6-hour timer work?
When the lights are switched to the timer setting, they will automatically turn on for 6 hours and then switch off for 18 hours, repeating this cycle daily. Ensure they are turned on in the desired sequence for the timer to function correctly.
Are the acrylic animal shapes fragile?
The acrylic shapes are designed for children's rooms and are reasonably durable. However, they should be handled with care to avoid scratching or breaking.
Do I need to do anything to the animal shapes before using the lights?
Yes, each acrylic animal shape is covered in a protective clear plastic film to prevent scratches. You will need to peel this film away from each shape before turning the lights on.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on.
Ensure that 3 fresh AA batteries are inserted correctly, observing the polarity (+/-). Check that the battery compartment is securely closed. Try the ON/OFF switch to ensure it is in the 'ON' position or the timer position if using the timer function.
Lights flicker or are dim.
The batteries may be low. Replace with new AA batteries. Ensure battery contacts are clean and free from corrosion.
Timer function is not working.
Confirm the lights are switched to the 'TIMER' setting. Ensure the batteries are fresh, as low power can sometimes affect timer accuracy. Check that the lights were initially turned on for the first cycle of the 6-hour operation.
Protective film is difficult to remove.
Use your fingernail or a plastic edge (like a credit card) to gently lift a corner of the film and peel it off slowly. If it seems stubborn, a very brief application of gentle heat from a hairdryer on a low setting might help, but use caution to avoid damaging the acrylic.
