Maintenance

- Water Exposure: While the dimmer is waterproof (IP44), ensure the electrical connections between the dimmer and string lights are protected from direct water exposure to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting
- Lights not turning on:
- Check if the dimmer is securely plugged into a working power outlet.
- Ensure the string lights are properly connected to the dimmer.
- Verify that the string lights themselves are functional by plugging them directly into a power outlet (bypassing the dimmer).
- Check the fuse in the dimmer unit. If blown, replace it with a spare (if provided) of the correct rating.
- Remote control not working:
- Ensure the remote control battery is correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Confirm there are no obstructions between the remote and the dimmer unit.
- Ensure you are within the 50ft operating range of the remote.
- Lights not dimming or flickering:
