No, the lights feature an automatic sensor that turns them on when it gets dark and off when it gets light.
These are designed specifically for outdoor use and require direct sunlight on the solar panel to function effectively.
The set includes a 200cm light string plus a 2m lead wire.
There is a physical button on the solar panel unit that allows you to toggle between the available lighting modes.
The solar unit is generally a sealed component; it is recommended to keep the panel clean rather than attempting to replace internal parts.
Ensure the solar panel is not being shaded by trees or structures and that it is switched to the 'on' position.
The solar panel likely did not receive enough direct sunlight; relocate the panel to a sunnier spot.
Verify that the mode selector button on the back of the solar panel is functioning and not obstructed by debris.
Installation is straightforward due to the lack of electrical cabling. Simply choose an area for the solar panel that receives unobstructed sunlight for the majority of the day. Stake or mount the solar panel securely using the provided hardware. Arrange the 200cm light string along your desired path, using the 2m lead wire to bridge the distance between your lights and the solar panel. Maintenance is minimal: wipe the solar panel periodically with a damp, soft cloth to ensure it remains free of dirt or bird droppings. During prolonged periods of winter or low light, it is recommended to turn the unit off or store it indoors to protect the battery.
