Introduction
Thank you for choosing Brightech Ambience Pro USB Powered String Lights. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your new string lights. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and operation, and retain them for future reference.
Safety Instructions
- Power Source: This product is designed for use with a 5V USB power source. Ensure your power bank or adapter provides the correct voltage and sufficient current (at least 3A recommended for optimal performance).
- Outdoor Use: The lights are designed for outdoor use and feature WeatherTite technology for water and wind resistance. However, ensure the USB connection point is protected from direct exposure to heavy rain or moisture to prevent corrosion.
- Shatterproof Bulbs: The bulbs are made of durable plastic and are shatterproof. While robust, avoid excessive force or impact.
- Heat Exposure: Avoid placing the lights directly near high heat sources, as the plastic bulbs may deform or melt.
- Installation: Do not install the string lights in a manner that could create a tripping hazard. Securely fasten the string to prevent accidental dislodgement.
- Children and Pets: Keep the string lights and all components out of reach of children and pets to prevent entanglement or choking hazards.
Package Contents
- 1 x Brightech Ambience Pro USB Powered String Lights (24.5 ft with 10 shatterproof LED bulbs)
- 1 x USB power cord
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the string lights from their packaging. Uncoil the string, ensuring no tangles.
- Placement: Determine your desired installation location. The string is 24.5 feet long with 10 bulbs spaced approximately 20 inches apart. The lead cord from the USB plug to the first bulb is approximately 6 feet.
- Hanging the Lights: Each bulb socket features a small loop at the top for easy hanging. Use zip ties, hooks, or guide wires (not included) to securely hang the string lights. Ensure the string is supported adequately to prevent sagging or strain on the cable.
- Connect Power: Plug the USB power cord into a compatible 5V USB power source, such as a power bank, USB wall adapter (not included), or a USB port on a device.

Operating Instructions
Once connected to a power source, the lights will illuminate. The string lights feature a warm white (2700K) light color, providing a soft ambient glow. If your USB power source or adapter has a button control, you can use it to turn the lights on or off.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the bulbs, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the lights are unplugged before cleaning.
- Condensation: In humid outdoor conditions, condensation may form inside the plastic bulbs. The bulbs can be unscrewed from their sockets to allow for drying. After drying, screw them back on securely to maintain weather resistance.
Video Guide: For a visual guide on the bulb's construction and how to address condensation, refer to the video below.

- Bulb Replacement: The LED filaments within the bulbs are designed for long-term use. If a bulb ceases to function, the entire bulb unit (plastic casing and LED filament) can be replaced by unscrewing it from the socket. Contact Brightech support for replacement bulb availability.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the string lights in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
