Yes you can do it yourself. It’s pretty easy and these things work. Great, thanks for watching.

Hope you enjoy! Good luck and thanks for watching

Thanks these things work really good

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks we found it on the side of the road somebody was throwing it out

X2 😍

Glad I could help enjoy your new solar string lights I just bought another box of them they work so well thanks for watching

Thank you too! For watching, and good luck with your solar string lights

That’s a good question I never use the remote because I just set it for dusk and it comes out automatically. I don’t even have to think about it.

I never saw a plastic tab on mine either. I bought 2 sets and neither of them had it. I was able to use the remote straight out of the box without any adjustments.

Each one has its own solar panel, but I think you could somehow connect them. You would have to aftermarket it and you could get a larger solar panel with lithium battery.

I have to say these things work really great and they stay lit for about eight hours. They don’t last all the way through the night and they’re pretty bright but they won’t be as bright as once you plug it.

That is the one problem you have with these you can’t connect them in a daisy chain. You have to use the solar panel that comes with them and they don’t have any longer wire so it is limiting good luck. Thanks for watching.

Just try leaving it on on the desk. They should automatically come on.

They’re plugged in all the bulbs are screwed in and you’ve got the panels facing the sun but they’re not coming on check to make sure that you’ve got them in the on position on the back and they should come on if they don’t you may have gotten bad panels

@@TomLeeman I’ll try again tonite let it charge up n see if not then yeah could be defective cause I’m sure I didn’t everything correct .thanks

Welcome

Yes, I wipe my screens every week just to make sure that they’re functioning at optimal

What do you wipe them with? @@TomLeeman

Well, you’ve got a put them in there so that you can get the solar panel facing the sun. I would have to look and see the area that you’re putting it in to really know. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

@@TomLeeman I figured it out. Used the second set to cover the one side left and ran it across the ceiling. 360 coverage and light in the center.

Yes you can do that so if you have your lights somewhere where there’s no sun, you could put the solar panels out in the sun will charge and then you can hook them up to your lights wherever you put them and it works great

@@TomLeeman thanks

@@skinkly glad I could help

As long as there’s light, it will charge, but they just won’t stay on as long or be as bright

If you leave it in the on position what it’ll do is when night comes the sensor is going to tell it to discharge electricity but it’s not gonna go anywhere if you haven’t got it connected so yeah you can leave it unplugged just plug it in let the lights come on at night I just leave mine plugged in outside and when it gets dark all my lights turn on thing is great save money and electricity and it looks really cool in the backyard thanks for watching

@@TomLeeman I am charging for the 1st time, without lights attached Leave in the off position ?

Leave them on auto and they come on when it gets dark

@@TomLeeman Mine has ON and Off only. How should I set it for the remote or auto?

Yeah, I just put it out there and hooked it up for is very sunny. I mean it’s hot here and the sun bakes. Thanks for watching.

I just set the lights for automatic on the sensor, and when it gets dark, they just turn on

@@TomLeeman I realize now that the set I bought at Costco does not have an "auto" setting. And it does not have a light sensor on the panel. My only choices are ON or OFF. The item number on my set is #1600334.

@@rebeccarathman1876 that was how sunforce manufactured them last year. i have 2 sets like that. much better than this new version. but last year's version did not have an auto setting. i bought another set this year, with the solar panel Tom is showing and i have to literally go up to the solar panel for the remote to activate it so i have to use the auto setting. Sunforce is impossible to reach by phone and their emails and choppy and not very customer friendly.

They stay in about 6 to 8 hours

It charges during the day when the sun’s out

Mine have been in the sun all day and will not click on. They blink and stay off 😢

Yes, I just leave it at auto and it does it thing

You have to make sure that the solar battery is fully charged before you hook them up if it’s not lighting, take it back. Get a new box.

Twist the bulbs tighter

@@gabpogiandunicornbells3494 good idea

Sensor face swords the sun

Check your connecting plugs and make sure that they’re completely screwed down tight. Otherwise you won’t have the electrical connection to the lightbulbs.

Make sure the lightbulbs are nice and tight just be careful tightening it

@@aaronsoriano3741 thanks and thanks for watching

Sorry to hear about your experience with the customer service. Thank you for watching.

Same exact experience! Last year’s version was far better with the remote’s range. The new version’s remote is garbage.

@@Mandrew22 I haven’t use the remote I just put it on auto

I’ll leave mine on auto in soon as it gets dark it turns on I don’t use any controller

I just turned it to automatic, and when it gets dark, the lights come on by themselves

No, I mean my remote has stopped working, what do I do, it's 2 days old, could the batteries be dead already? Also can one remote work on multiple sets of lights if they are the same

@@IdemRedd you might want to check your battery. And yes one remote will control multiple sets of lights.

Make sure that you turn the on button to iron or auto, and make sure that your connectors are pushed in all the way

@@TomLeeman Thanks I'm going to give that a try of not I'll have to take em back.

@@marlenepaul68 mine were great. I’ve got them straight all across the backyard.

​@EasternGirl I am with you. Set up all nice n it has been two days now with no visible light on.

@@paulson9616 make sure that you have it on auto and that the sensor or solar panel array is pointed at the sun and that your cords are completely attached and your bolts are screwed in. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
