5. Operating Instructions

Your Brightown Solar String Lights are designed for ease of use with automatic functions and multiple lighting options.

Automatic On/Off Function

The integrated light sensor automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Ensure the solar panel is not obstructed and is not exposed to other light sources at night, which could prevent the lights from activating.

Charging

The solar panel charges the built-in battery during the day. For optimal performance, allow the solar panel to receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. A full charge typically provides 8-10 hours of illumination at night.

Lighting Modes

The control unit on the solar panel features a "MODE" button to cycle through 8 different lighting effects. A built-in memory chip will save your last selected mode for convenience.

• Combination
• In Waves
• Sequential
• Slo-Glo

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar string lights.

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
• Placement Check: Periodically check that the solar panel remains in a location with direct sunlight and is not becoming shaded by growing plants or new obstructions.
• Winter Care: While the lights are weather-resistant, during prolonged periods of extreme cold or heavy snow, it is advisable to bring the solar panel indoors to protect the battery and extend its lifespan.
• Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, ensure the solar panel is fully charged before storage. Store in a cool, dry place.
