2. Safety Instructions

  • Ensure the product is unplugged before installation, maintenance, or bulb replacement.
  • Use only with 110V power outlets.
  • Do not exceed the maximum connectable strands (up to 12 x 24 FT strands).
  • The cord is UL listed for safety.
  • Avoid hanging the string lights in a manner that could cause damage to the cord or bulbs.
  • Keep away from flammable materials.

3. Package Contents

  • 1 x 24-foot string light strand with 7 pre-installed 11W Edison bulbs.
  • Spare fuse (typically located in the plug).

4. Installation Guide

These string lights are designed for flexible installation. You can string them straight, drape them, or wrap them around structures to create desired lighting designs. The heavy-duty cord is robust enough for various hanging methods.

4.1 Planning Your Layout

Before installation, plan the desired path for your string lights. Consider the length of the strand (24 feet) and the spacing of the bulbs (3 feet apart). If connecting multiple strands, ensure the total length does not exceed the recommended limit (up to 12 x 24 FT strands).

4.2 Hanging the Lights

The string lights feature integrated hanging loops above each bulb socket, allowing for secure attachment to various surfaces. Common methods include:

  • Hooks: Use screw hooks or adhesive hooks (not included) to secure the string along its path.
  • Zip Ties: For temporary or semi-permanent installations, zip ties can be used to attach the string to poles, railings, or other structures.
  • Guide Wire: For longer spans or to reduce sag, a separate guide wire (not included) can be run between anchor points, and the string lights can be attached to it.

4.3 Connecting Multiple Strands

Each string light strand is designed with an end-to-end connection feature. Simply plug the male end of one strand into the female receptacle at the end of another strand. Ensure connections are tight to maintain weather resistance.

5. Operation

5.1 Powering On/Off

Once installed, plug the string light's power cord into a standard 110V electrical outlet. The lights will illuminate. To turn off, simply unplug the unit or use a connected switch/timer (if installed).

5.2 Dimming Functionality

The included Edison bulbs are dimmable. To utilize this feature, a compatible dimmer switch (sold separately) must be installed. Follow the dimmer switch manufacturer's instructions for installation and operation.

5.3 Smart Home Compatibility

These string lights can work with smart home systems like Alexa for on/off control. This requires a compatible smart plug or hub (sold separately) to integrate with your smart home ecosystem. Refer to your smart home device's instructions for setup.

6. Care and Maintenance

6.1 Weather Resistance

The Brightech Ambience Pro lights feature WeatherTite Technology, making them resistant to wind (up to 50 MPH), rain, and snow. The rubberized, flexible heavy-duty cord is designed for year-round outdoor use. No special seasonal removal is typically required.

6.2 Bulb Replacement

If a bulb burns out, it can be replaced. Ensure the string is unplugged before attempting replacement. Gently unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new 11W Edison bulb (E26 base). Replacement bulbs are available from Brightech or compatible retailers.

6.3 Cleaning

To clean the string lights, ensure they are unplugged. Wipe bulbs and cords with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Lights Not Illuminating

  • Check Power Connection: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into a working 110V outlet.
  • Inspect Bulbs: Verify that all bulbs are securely screwed into their sockets. Loose bulbs can prevent the entire strand from lighting up.
  • Check Fuse: The plug contains a replaceable fuse. If the lights do not work, carefully check and replace the fuse if it is blown. Refer to the plug for fuse specifications.
  • Test Individual Bulbs: If only some bulbs are out, try replacing them with a known working bulb to identify faulty ones.
