Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the lights with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Storage

Store the lights in a cool, dry place when not in use. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.

Water Resistance

The lights are rated IPX5, providing protection against water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for use in rainy conditions. However, they are not designed for submersion.
