Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these lights be connected end-to-end?

These 10-metre sets are designed for standalone use and are not intended for daisy-chaining multiple strings together.

Are the bulbs replaceable?

The kit includes one spare bulb to replace any that may fail over time.

How long do the lights stay on after a full charge?

Performance varies by mode and brightness, but the 2000 mAh battery is designed to provide light throughout the night.

Is the USB cable included?

Yes, the system includes a USB charging option for cases where sunlight is insufficient.

What is the distance between each bulb?

The bulbs are spaced 50 cm apart along the 10-metre length.

Can I leave them out in the winter?

Yes, but for better longevity and battery performance during freezing temperatures, consider bringing them indoors or ensuring the panel is well-maintained.

Troubleshooting

Lights are not turning on at dusk

Ensure the solar panel is not being obscured by shadows or covered in dirt. Verify that the power switch is in the 'ON' position.

Lights are flickering

Check the connection between the solar panel and the string light cord to ensure it is tight. If using via USB, verify the power source is stable.

Remote is not responding

Check the remote battery and ensure you are within the 10-metre operating range of the sensor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile power options (Solar and USB)
  • Shatterproof bulb construction
  • Adjustable dimming (25% to 100%)
  • Easy installation with multiple mounting options
  • Included RF remote for convenient control

Cons

  • Different IP ratings for panel (IP65) and bulbs (IP45)
  • Bulbs are spaced 50cm apart, which may be too wide for some designs
  • Requires full sunlight for optimal solar charging efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the flexible mounting system. The solar panel can be secured to walls, fences, or mounted in the ground using the included stake. The string itself can be hung using zip ties, hooks, or garden wire.

Compatibility Note: While the panel is highly weather-resistant (IP65), the light strings carry an IP45 rating, meaning they should be shielded from extreme, prolonged heavy downpours.

Care Instructions:

  1. Ensure the solar panel is positioned in an area with direct sunlight for maximum charging potential.
  2. Use a damp cloth to clean the solar panel surface periodically to prevent dust or debris from blocking the charging sensor.
  3. During extended periods of low sunlight, use the USB cable to ensure the battery remains fully charged for consistent light output.
