Setup and Installation
The DAYBETTER Solar String Lights are designed for easy installation without the need for electrical outlets. Follow these steps for optimal performance.
1. Solar Panel Placement
The solar panel must be placed in a location that receives a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. This ensures the battery charges sufficiently for extended nighttime illumination.
- Optimal Angle: Adjust the solar panel to face the sun directly. The panel features a 180-degree adjustable bracket for flexible positioning.
- Avoid Obstructions: Ensure no shadows from trees, buildings, or other structures fall on the solar panel throughout the day.

2. Mounting the String Lights
The string lights can be effortlessly wrapped, hung, or staked. Each bulb socket includes a small hook for easy hanging.
- Hanging: Use the integrated hooks on each bulb socket to hang the string lights on wires, nails, or hooks.
- Wrapping: Wrap the string lights around trees, pergolas, or railings.
- Securing: Use the provided cable ties or other fasteners to secure the string in place, especially in windy areas.
3. Initial Charge
Before first use, ensure the solar panel is switched ON and allowed to charge in direct sunlight for a full day (8 hours). For faster initial charging or during prolonged cloudy periods, the solar panel also supports USB charging (approximately 4 hours).

Operating Instructions
The DAYBETTER Solar String Lights feature automatic operation and remote control functionality.
1. Power On/Off
- Manual Switch: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the back of the solar panel. Ensure it is in the 'ON' position for automatic operation.
- Automatic Operation: With the switch ON, the lights will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, thanks to the integrated light-sensing technology.

Maintenance
The DAYBETTER Solar String Lights are designed for durability and minimal maintenance.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum charging efficiency.
- Bulb Replacement: The G40 LED bulbs are shatterproof. In the event a bulb needs replacement, use the provided spare bulb or contact customer support for compatible replacements. Ensure the string is off before attempting to replace any bulb.
- Weather Resistance: The lights are IP65 waterproof and designed to withstand rain, snow, wind, and UV exposure. No special weather-related maintenance is typically required.
