Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SUNTHIN landscape lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Regularly: Periodically wipe the spotlight lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may obstruct light output.
- Inspect Connections: Regularly check all waterproof twist connectors and the power supply connection for tightness and signs of wear. Ensure they remain sealed to prevent water ingress.
- Protect Power Adapter: While the spotlights are IP65 waterproof, the power adapter should be protected from direct rain and extreme weather conditions. Consider placing it in a weatherproof enclosure or a sheltered location.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the lights, as this may damage the finish or lens.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SUNTHIN landscape lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

|---|---|---|
