REPLACING LIGHT BULBS

WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!!!

• Disconnect power at the source prior to replacing a light bulb or fuse. For outdoor string lights, do NOT replace light bulbs/fuse during rain or when wet.
• Replace light bulbs/fuse only during dry and calm weather conditions.

1. Lightly hold the bulb you want to replace in one hand, then twist the bulb counterclockwise.  

Note: The bulb may be tight in the socket. This is normal to prevent moisture from getting into the socket.

2. Screw the replacement bulb into the socket clockwise until the top of the socket forms a tight seal around the bulb and the bulb makes solid contact with the socket.

ADDING A LIGHT STRING

Note: You can add up to 28 string light sets.

1. Unplug the first light string.

2. Remove the cap from the female end and insert the power plug on the second string into the power outlet on the first string.

Note: Tightly cap the female end when not in use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Lights will not turn on.

• Make sure that all of the connectors are connected correctly and the plug is inserted into a power outlet. LEDs flicker or turn on and off.

• Make sure that the power cable is not damaged.

• Make sure that all connections are tight and secure.

• Make sure that the power is turned on.

• If one or several bulbs do not light, unplug the string, then gently grasp and tighten the bulbs into the socket. Do not overtighten.
  Plug in the light string.

• If none of the bulbs light up, check the fuse at end of the cord.

  • A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit situation. If the fuse is blown, unplug the light string from the outlet.
  • Also unplug any additional strings or products attached to the light string.

• Replace the fuse (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows again, it is possible that a short circuit has occurred and the product needs to be discarded.

REPLACING A FUSE

1. Grasp the plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device.
   Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.

2. Open the access cover on top of the plug.

3. Slide the fuse cover towards the electrical prongs.

4. Carefully pop out the fuse using a small screwdriver.

5. Insert the new fuse (included).
   Note: Only replace with the included fuse or a 5A 125V fuse.
