Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your lighting kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently dust the lights and cables with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on electrical components.

- Verify that the USB power source is functioning correctly and providing adequate power. Try a different USB port or power bank.
- Inspect cables for any visible damage or kinks.
- Flickering or Dim Lights (unexpectedly):
- Ensure the power source is stable. Fluctuations in power can affect light performance.
- Check for loose connections.
- If only specific lights are affected, inspect those individual light components and their connections.
