Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the string lights from their packaging.

Operating Instructions
The Lumisky Formentera Solar LED String Lights are designed for automatic operation.
- Automatic On/Off: The integrated light sensor will automatically turn the string lights on at dusk and off at dawn.
- Charging: During daylight hours, the solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy, which is stored in the internal battery.
- Illumination Time: A full charge (4-6 hours of direct sunlight) provides approximately 8 hours of continuous warm white illumination.
- Light Output: The lights provide an ambient glow with a luminous flux of less than 100 Lumens, suitable for decorative purposes.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar string lights.
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Inspect Wiring: Periodically check the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use.
- Storage: If the string lights will not be used for an extended period, or during severe weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged rain), store them in a cool, dry place.
- Bulb Care: The LED bulbs are integrated and not user-replaceable. Avoid harsh impacts to the rattan shades.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on at night. | Solar panel not receiving enough sunlight. | Relocate the solar panel to an area with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the panel is clean. |
| Ambient light sensor is obstructed or detecting light. | Ensure the solar panel (which contains the sensor) is not near other light sources (e.g., streetlights) at night. | |
| Lights illuminate for a short period. | Insufficient battery charge. | Allow the solar panel to charge for a full day in direct sunlight. Cloudy weather or partial shade can reduce charging efficiency. |
| Individual bulbs are not working. | Physical damage to the bulb or internal wiring. | Inspect the affected bulb and its connection. If damaged, the unit may require replacement as bulbs are not user-replaceable. |
