1. The string lights are designed with integrated cup hooks above each bulb socket for easy hanging.

4.2 Bulb Replacement

The G40 LED bulbs are shatterproof, but in case a bulb needs replacement, follow these steps:

1. Always unplug the string lights from the power source before replacing any bulbs.

4. Plug the string lights back in to test.

4.3 Fuse Replacement

The plug contains two fuses for safety. If the entire string fails to light up, a fuse may need replacement. Two spare fuses are provided.

2. Locate the fuse compartment on the plug. It usually has a small sliding cover.
3. Open the compartment and carefully remove the old fuse(s).
4. Insert new fuses of the correct rating (refer to the plug for specifications, typically 5A 125V).

5. Troubleshooting

• Lights do not turn on:
  • Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the outlet is receiving power (test with another appliance).
  • Inspect the fuses in the plug and replace if blown (refer to Section 4.3).
  • Check all bulb connections; ensure each bulb is screwed in tightly.
• Some bulbs are not lighting up:
  • Unplug the string. Carefully unscrew and re-screw the non-working bulbs to ensure a good connection.
  • Replace any faulty bulbs with the provided spare bulbs (refer to Section 4.2).
• Lights are flickering:
  • If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with LED lights. Incompatible dimmers can cause flickering.
  • Check all connections, including the main power plug and any end-to-end connections between strands.
• Water inside bulbs:
  • While the bulbs are shatterproof and the string is waterproof, ensure bulbs are screwed in tightly to prevent water ingress. If water is found, unplug the string, remove the bulb, allow it to dry completely, and then re-install or replace.
