Product Information

Full details

These Samuel Alexander multi-function battery-operated string lights are designed for anyone looking to add festive or ambient illumination to their home, both indoors and outdoors. Their primary benefit is versatile lighting with multiple modes and a convenient timer, making holiday decorating effortless. A key caveat is that while they are weatherproof for light splashes (IP44), they are not fully waterproof. The lights feature energy-efficient LEDs spaced 10cm apart on a green cable, a 30cm lead to a weatherproof battery box, and a memory function to recall the last setting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of batteries do these lights use?

These lights require 3x 'AA' batteries, which are not supplied with the product.

How do I activate the timer function?

Turn the lights on to your desired mode, then press and hold the function button on the battery box for 3-5 seconds. The lights will then operate on a 6-hour on/18-hour off cycle.

Can these lights be used in the rain?

The lights have an IP44 rating, meaning they are weatherproof for light splashes and suitable for outdoor use. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged or exposed to heavy rain.

How long will the batteries last?

Battery life can vary depending on the quality of the batteries used and the selected lighting mode. Using the timer function will help conserve battery life.

Does the light remember the last setting?

Yes, these lights feature a memory function that recalls the previously selected lighting mode when turned back on.

What are the different lighting modes available?

The lights offer 8 modes: static, combination, in waves, sequential, slow glow, chasing/flash, slow fade, and twinkle/flash.

Can I use these lights for events other than Christmas?

Absolutely. Their versatile design and multiple functions make them ideal for parties, ambient lighting, or decorative displays throughout the year.

Troubleshooting

Lights do not turn on

Ensure fresh 'AA' batteries are correctly inserted. Check that the battery compartment is securely closed. Try pressing the function button repeatedly.

Lights only stay on for a short period

This may indicate the timer function is active. To disable the timer, cycle through the modes until the unit turns off, then press again to turn on manually. Ensure batteries are not low.

Lights do not change modes

Press the button on the battery box firmly. If the button seems stuck or unresponsive, check battery levels. If issues persist, the unit may require replacement.

Lights are not working after being used outdoors

Check the battery compartment seal is intact. Ensure the lights were not exposed to heavy rain or submerged, as the IP44 rating only protects against light splashes.

Cons

The timer will then operate on a 6-hour on, 18-hour off cycle.

Compatibility:

  • Requires 3x 'AA' batteries (not supplied).
  • The green cable and multicolor LEDs are designed for general decorative purposes.

Care:

  • Wipe the battery box and cable gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
