Frequently Asked Questions - Edinburgh USB Solar Festoon Lights (Set Of 10) With Leaf Panel

Thank you for your question,

the lights are still a warm white colour in the new design.

Hello, 

They are plastic bulb casings. 

The solar panel can be installed using a ground spike or a wall bracket. When deciding on the location for your solar panel installation, please consider optimal sun exposure, try to avoid shadows by day, and other sources of light at night that could trick the lights into thinking it’s still daylight. Hope this helps!
 

Hi Juliette,

Sorry to hear about that. Unfortunately, you are not able to replace batteries with the Edinburghs 10 or 20 but you can replace the panel that would have a new battery inside 

Hi Nicky, 

The switch is located on the underside of the solar panel. Each push of the button will select a different brightness, the lower the brightness the longer the light will run for after dark. 

Our IP rating is IP 65 IP55 and yes they are suitable to be left out all year round.

The solar panel can only be replaced with one that is compatible. You will not be able to add an additional controller to the lights.

Replacement panels cannot be purchased at this time, sorry about that. You should get a long useage out of the panel, especially with the USB back up and  powersaving!

USB should take around 4 hours (depending on your device) then it should be fully charged, we do not recommend leaving it in over night.
