1. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly set up your Solar Powered COB Neon Rope Light:
- Initial Charge: Before first use, turn the switch on the solar panel to the 'ON' position. Place the solar panel under direct sunlight for 8-10 hours to fully charge the internal battery.
- Solar Panel Placement: Install the solar panel in an open area that receives full, direct sunlight throughout the day, free from any shadows cast by trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
- Light Strip Installation: Fix the neon strip using appropriate hooks or ties onto walls, fences, railings, or around plants. The strip is flexible and can be bent into various shapes for decorative purposes.
- Outdoor Protection: If installing outdoors, ensure all connections and the ends of the LED strip are protected within a watertight enclosure or completely sealed to maintain IP67 waterproof rating.
- Cutting the Strip: The light strip has a cutting surface of 10x5mm and can be cut every 3.8 cm. This allows for customization to fit multiple scenarios.
- Adhesion: The strip features strong double-sided adhesive tape on the back for one-step installation. For outdoor or uneven surfaces, consider additional mounting solutions for secure placement.

2. Operating Instructions
Your Solar Powered COB Neon Rope Light is designed for automatic operation:
- Automatic Light Control: The light features a built-in light sensor. During daylight, the light will automatically turn OFF, and the solar panel will charge the internal battery. At dusk or night, the light will automatically turn ON using the stored energy.
- Manual Mode Selection: Press the 'MODE' button on the control box of the solar panel to cycle through the 8 available lighting effects (Combination, In Waves, Sequential, Slow Glow, Chasing/Flash, Slow Fade, Twinkle/Flash, Steady On).
- Testing During Daylight: To test the light during daylight hours, you must completely cover the solar panel (e.g., with a thick cloth or cardboard) to simulate darkness. The light will switch on within a few seconds.
- USB Charging: If charging the product via a USB cable (connected to a power adapter), the solar panel's light sensor is bypassed. The light can operate during the day while charging via USB without needing to cover the solar panel.

3. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your light strip:
- Solar Panel Cleanliness: Keep the surface of the solar panel clean and free of dust, dirt, snow, or any obstructions that might block sunlight.
- Sunlight Exposure: Ensure the solar panel is consistently exposed to sufficient direct sunlight for normal charging.
- Water Immersion: Although the light strip is waterproof (IP67), do not immerse it in water for extended periods.
- Long-Term Storage: If the product will not be used for a long time, fully charge the battery and store the unit in a cool, dry place.
4. Troubleshooting
