Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these lights suitable for indoor use?

While designed for outdoor use, they can work indoors if the solar panel is placed in a window with direct sunlight, though performance may be reduced.

Can I replace the battery?

The battery is integrated into the solar unit. It is not intended for user replacement.

What happens if it rains?

The lights are IP44 rated and the solar panel is IP65 rated, meaning they are designed to withstand rain, but should not be submerged in water.

How long is the lead cable?

The lead cable from the solar panel to the first light is 2 metres long.

Do I need to turn them on every night?

No, once you set your preferred mode, the dusk-to-dawn sensor handles the daily operation automatically.

What is the total length of the product?

The total length is 12 metres, which includes 10 metres of light string and 2 metres of lead wire.

Troubleshooting

Lights do not turn on at night

Ensure the solar panel is not positioned near other light sources like streetlights, which may trigger the dusk-to-dawn sensor prematurely. Also, confirm the switch is set to 'ON'.

Lights are dim or stay on for a short duration

The battery may not be receiving a full charge. Check the solar panel for shade, dirt, or obstruction, and ensure it is receiving direct, unblocked sunlight during the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Placement: Install the solar panel in a location that receives at least 6 hours of unobstructed, direct sunlight.
  2. Installation: Secure the light string using plastic ties or clips; avoid using metal staples that could pierce the wire insulation.
  3. Initial Charge: Before the first use, switch the power to 'ON' and let the unit charge in direct sunlight for at least 8 hours.
  4. Care: Keep the surface of the solar panel free of dust, debris, or snow to ensure maximum energy absorption. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth if needed.
  5. Off-Season Storage: If storing for long periods, turn the unit off and store in a cool, dry place to preserve battery health.
