Installation & Setup

Follow these steps for safe and proper installation.

Plan Your Layout: Decide where to hang the lights. Ensure the transformer can reach a power outlet.
Prepare the Area: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and suitable for attaching clips.
Attach Hanging Clips: Use the provided clips to secure the cable along your desired path. Space clips approximately every 50 cm for even support.
Connect Power: Plug the transformer into a standard indoor electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords unless rated for the product's power.
Test the Lights: Once plugged in, all 20 LEDs should illuminate. If not, see Troubleshooting section.

CAUTION! Do not stretch or pull the cable tightly. Avoid sharp bends around corners.

Operation

Operation is simple: plug in to turn on, unplug to turn off.

The lights have a fixed on/off state controlled by the power outlet.
For convenience, plug the transformer into a switched outlet or a separate switch adapter.
The LEDs are designed for continuous decorative use but turning them off when not needed saves energy.

Note: The lights are not dimmable and do not have a separate controller.
