1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the string lights and bulbs for any signs of damage.
2. Plan Your Layout: Determine the desired path for your string lights. Consider the length (50FT) and where the power outlet is located. The lights are designed for "Plug & Play" convenience.

Maintenance & Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Torkase Outdoor String Lights, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Weatherproof Design: The lights feature an IP54 waterproof rating, making them resistant to rain, snow, and wind. While designed for year-round outdoor use, occasional cleaning can help maintain their appearance.
• Shatterproof Bulbs: The S14 bulbs are made from durable PET material, making them shatterproof. This significantly reduces the risk of breakage compared to traditional glass bulbs.
• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the bulbs and cable with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Ensure the lights are unplugged before cleaning.
• Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, coil them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
