Full details
This guide is for homeowners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with atmospheric lighting. The key benefit is creating a warm, inviting ambiance with solar-powered, vintage-style lights. A caveat is that performance is optimized for summer due to solar dependency. These festoon lights feature 20 clear plastic bulbs on a 4.75m black cable, each housing a warm white filament-style LED, powered by a solar panel for automatic dusk illumination. They offer 8 lighting functions and are designed for easy styling along fences, walls, or pergolas.

FAQs
How long do the lights stay on?
In summer, with a full charge from direct sunlight, you can expect up to 8 hours of illumination time.
Can these lights be used in winter?
These lights are designed for use throughout the summer months. Due to shorter winter days and less sunlight, their performance will be significantly reduced. We recommend storing them during winter and bringing them out in spring.
What is the total length of the lights?
The string of lights itself is 4.75 meters long, with an additional 3-meter lead cable from the solar panel to the first bulb.
How many lighting functions are available?
There are 8 different lighting functions to choose from, allowing you to customize the ambiance.
Do I need to turn these lights on and off manually?
No, the lights are solar-powered and feature automatic dusk illumination. They will turn on when it gets dark and turn off automatically when it gets light.
How should I clean the solar panel?
Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth periodically to ensure it can efficiently absorb sunlight. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What should I do if the lights stop working after a few weeks?
First, ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. If the issue persists, check the troubleshooting guide for common problems like low battery charge or connection issues. If problems continue, consider contacting customer support for warranty assistance.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is positioned in direct sunlight and has been charged for a full day. Check that the function button has been pressed. Clean the solar panel. Verify the 'on/off' switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Ensure the lights are not exposed to other light sources at night, which can trick the sensor.
Lights have a short illumination time.
This is often due to insufficient sunlight during the day. Try repositioning the solar panel to a sunnier spot. Ensure the panel is clean. Cloudy weather will reduce charging efficiency.
Some bulbs are not working.
Gently check each bulb's connection. If a bulb is significantly damaged, it may need replacement, though these LEDs are designed for longevity. Ensure the lights haven't been subjected to physical damage.
Lights flicker or change function randomly.
This could indicate a low battery charge. Allow the solar panel to charge fully. If the issue persists, try resetting the unit by turning it off and on again. Ensure the function button is not being accidentally pressed.
