FAQs
Are batteries included with the Blinkin Skull?
No, batteries must be purchased separately. Please check the product packaging for the specific battery type required.
Can I leave this outside in the rain?
The skull is durable, but for best results and to prolong its lifespan, keep it in a sheltered outdoor area away from direct exposure to heavy rain.
How long does the timer cycle last?
The timer is set for a 6-hour 'on' cycle followed by an 18-hour 'off' cycle.
Is the paint finish weather-resistant?
The hand-painted finish is designed for seasonal use; however, avoid using abrasive sponges or solvents when cleaning to protect the artwork.
Can I turn the blinking effect off while the lights remain on?
No, the blinking and winking effect is integrated into the light display and cannot be toggled independently.
Where is the battery compartment located?
The battery compartment is typically found on the bottom or back of the skull. Ensure the cover is securely fastened after installation.
Troubleshooting
The eyes are not blinking or lighting up.
Check that batteries are installed with the correct polarity and ensure they have a full charge.
The auto-timer is not cycling correctly.
Turn the power switch to the off position, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on at the start of your desired 6-hour window.
The lights appear dim.
This is a common indicator that the battery power is low; replace the batteries with a fresh set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Blinkin Skull is straightforward. Insert the required batteries into the compartment located at the base or rear of the unit, ensuring they are seated correctly. Once powered, the timer initiates automatically; if you wish to reset the start time, simply toggle the power off and back on at your preferred hour.
To ensure longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the hand-painted finish.
- Storage: Remove the batteries before storing the item away after the Halloween season to prevent corrosion.
- Placement: While weather-resistant, it is recommended to keep the skull under a porch or sheltered area if placed outdoors to protect the battery compartment from direct, heavy rain.
