- Connect to Power: Connect the string light's DC output connector to the 24V DC output port of the power adapter. Ensure the connection is firm.
- Plug In: Plug the power adapter into a standard 120V AC outdoor-rated power outlet. For outdoor use, ensure the outlet is a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected receptacle and that the connection is protected from direct water exposure.
- Connectable Feature: If you wish to extend the length, these lights support end-to-end connections of up to a maximum of 150 bulbs (300ft total). Connect the male end of one string to the female end of another. Ensure the total wattage does not exceed the adapter's capacity.
