Does the costume come with batteries?

How long do the lights usually last on a set of batteries?

Battery life can vary depending on the quality of the batteries used and the duration the lights are kept on. Using high-quality batteries and turning the lights off when not in use will help maximize their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Lights do not turn on

Ensure the battery pack is turned on. Check that the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace with new batteries if necessary.

Lights are flickering or dim

Fiber optic skirt is not evenly lit

Gently check for any kinks or folds in the fiber optic strands within the skirt that might be obstructing light. Ensure the battery pack is securely connected.
