FAQs
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
During summer months, the lights can provide up to 6 hours of illumination each night on a full charge. Actual duration may vary based on sunlight intensity and the selected light effect.
Can I leave the lights plugged in via USB all the time?
The USB cable is for charging the solar panel itself, not for directly powering the lights. Once the solar panel is charged, it should be disconnected from the USB source for optimal solar charging.
Are these lights suitable for use in the rain?
Yes, the lights are IP44 rated, which means they are protected against water splashes, making them suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
What is the total length of the lights?
The string of lights is 5 meters long, with an additional 3-meter lead wire from the solar panel to the first LED.
How often should I clean the solar panel?
It is recommended to clean the solar panel periodically with a soft, damp cloth to ensure it can efficiently absorb sunlight. Frequency depends on environmental conditions.
Can I replace the LEDs?
These LEDs are not designed to be user-replaceable. If an LED fails, it may affect the entire string depending on the internal circuitry.
What colours are available?
This specific model is in the Green colour family, featuring warm white LEDs.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on
Ensure the solar panel is switched to 'ON' mode. Check that the solar panel has been sufficiently charged by sunlight or USB. Verify that the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions. Test the USB charging function.
Lights are dim or do not last long
The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight. Relocate the solar panel to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel surface. If using USB charging, ensure it is fully charged. Battery performance can decrease in very cold temperatures.
Lights flicker intermittently
This could be due to a loose connection. Check all connections between the solar panel and the light string. Ensure the solar panel is fully charged, as low battery can sometimes cause flickering.
Multi-action effects do not work
Ensure the lights are fully charged. Try cycling through the effects again. If the issue persists, it might indicate a malfunction with the control switch on the solar panel.
