This process creates a virtual representation of your lights within the app.

5. Maintenance

The Twinkly Permanent Outdoor Lights are designed for minimal maintenance due to their robust, IP65-certified weatherproof construction. This ensures they can remain installed outdoors all year round without needing to be taken down for adverse weather conditions.

Periodically inspect the lights and wiring for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all connections remain secure. Clean the LED surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth if dirt or debris accumulates, to maintain optimal light output.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Lights Not Cuttable

The Twinkly Permanent Outdoor Lights are not designed to be cut. Cutting the string will damage the product and void the warranty. If you have excess length, use the Twinkly app to leave part of the strip unlit. The unused section can then be tucked behind trim or under the fascia to keep it out of sight.
