CATION

This lighting string is rated 6.48 Watts (0.054 Amps), do not overload. Connect other lighting 1 strings or decorative outfits end to-end up to a maximum of 216 Watts (1.8 Amps) total. If connecting to a lighting string that does not have a Wattage (W) rating ( found on the tag within 6 inches of the plug } calculate the wattage as follows: Multiply the current ( A) which is on the flag – type tag by 120. For Example: Lighting string is rated 120 V, 60 Hz, 0.054 Amps. 0.054 X 120 = 6.48 Watts. Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 216 Watts or less. (Do not exceed 216 Watts.)
To reduce the risk of overheating, replace burned-out bulbs promptly. Use 3.8 volt, 0.068 watt LED type lamp only.
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock: a) Do not install on trees having needles, leaves or branch coverings of metal or materials which look like metal, and b) Do not mount or support strings in a manner that can cut or damage wire insulation.
