With a generous 15-meter lit length and alternating drop lengths, these lights provide a realistic shimmering icicle effect, though they require a dry, indoor power source for the transformer when installed outside.

FAQs
Can I use these lights outdoors?
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use, but the power transformer must be plugged into an indoor socket or a secure, dry outdoor environment.
How long is the lit length?
The lights have a lit length of 15 meters, plus an additional 5-meter lead cable.
Does the timer have an override?
The timer is built-in as an automated feature; simply turn the unit on at the time you wish for it to begin its daily 6-hour cycle.
Are the LEDs replaceable?
No, the LEDs are integrated into the string and are not designed to be replaced individually.
What is the IP rating?
The transformer is IP20-rated, meaning it is not waterproof and must be protected from moisture.
What are the drop lengths?
The drops alternate between 30cm and 60cm to create a realistic, varied icicle aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on
Verify the transformer is pushed firmly into the wall socket and check that your indoor timer settings are not currently in the 18-hour 'off' cycle.
The light sequence changed after restarting
Ensure the lights have been on for at least a few minutes before switching them off; the memory chip requires a stable connection to save the setting.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the 5m lead cable. When installing outdoors, ensure the plug is connected to an indoor socket or a fully weather-sealed outdoor socket box, as the transformer is rated IP20. To maintain the lights, keep them clean from debris and ensure the wiring is not pulled taut across sharp edges. When storing after the festive season, coil the cable neatly to prevent tangling and place the lights in a dry, cool storage environment.
