  4. Connect String Lights: Connect the string lights to the solar panel's output port. Ensure the connection is secure and the waterproof cap is properly sealed.

Your addlon Solar String Lights offer dual charging options:

  • Solar Charging: The integrated solar panel charges the internal battery during the day when exposed to direct sunlight. A full charge typically takes 8 hours of bright sunlight.
  • USB Charging: For faster charging or during prolonged cloudy/rainy weather, use the provided USB Type-C cable to charge the solar panel. A full USB charge takes approximately 4 hours.

7. Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient charging.
  • Bulb Replacement: The string lights use S14 LED bulbs with an E12 base and 3V rating. If a bulb needs replacement, ensure the power is off, carefully unscrew the old bulb, and screw in the new one. A spare bulb is included in the package.
  • Waterproof Design: The lights and solar panel are IP65 waterproof, designed to withstand various weather conditions. However, ensure all connections are secure and waterproof caps are properly sealed to maintain water resistance.

8. Troubleshooting

  • Lights do not turn on automatically at night:
    1. Ensure the solar panel is placed in a location receiving ample direct sunlight.
    2. Check if the solar panel is fully charged (use USB charging if necessary).
    3. Verify that the string lights are securely connected to the solar panel.
    4. Confirm the remote control has not turned the lights off or set a timer that has expired.
  • Lights stay on for a short duration:
    1. The solar panel may not be receiving enough sunlight for a full charge. Relocate the panel or use USB charging.
    2. The selected brightness mode (e.g., 'Super Bright') consumes more power, reducing operating time. Try a 'Soft' or 'Bright' setting for longer illumination.
    3. Ensure the solar panel surface is clean.
  • Remote control not working:
    1. Check the remote control battery and replace if needed.
    2. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the solar panel receiver.
