2024
We firmly believe that the life cycle of a product does not end when it gets damaged. This is why we offer solutions for properly using, maintaining and repairing your product, in order to extend its lifespan.
How long will the batteries last in my string lights?
These string lights have a rechargeable battery (14.3 x 2.2 cm), with a built-in USB-C port. They will last from 6 to 17 hours depending on which setting you use.
Mode 1: 50 lm (17 hours)
Mode 2: 100 lm (9 hours)
Mode 3: 200 lm (6 hours)
When there is 15% power remaining, the lights flash and drop to 50 lm to indicate the battery is getting low.
How long does it take to charge them up?
It will take around 1.5 hours to fully charge the lights using a 220 V mains socket.
How are the lights stored?
They are 5.5 m long and come with a fabric storage case. It is all very compact.
How do I hang the lights where I want them?
The string lights have three hooks on either side, so you can attach them to your tent poles, hanging them from one pole to another, for example. Simply wrap the hook around the pole and pass the string lights through the hook – it couldn't be easier!
It is also worth noting that if the string lights are hung high enough, the eight bulbs will provide 360° of light.
Are they waterproof?
These lights have an IPX4 rating. They therefore withstand rain in all conditions.
What is the warranty?
This product comes with a 2-year warranty.
Looking after your string lights
If you have spent the night outside in the rain, or if you’ve dropped your string lights near a muddy puddle, they may be slightly dirty. Don't panic! We recommend using both a couple of cloths: one dry and one damp.
Using the dry one first, remove most of the dirt by giving the bulbs and the cable a wipe over. Then wipe over with the damp cloth to remove any stubborn marks. You can then leave your string lights to dry in the open air.
Repairing my string lights
We provide spare parts so that you can use and enjoy your string lights for as long as possible.
We’ve designed a battery for the GL200 rechargeable string lights that you can use as a replacement for an old battery or as a spare battery.
