Yes. All fairy light attachments listed on our website will fit these fairy lights.

So long as you can get the solar panel outside and facing south (to the sun) it should be fine.

There is 12m of wire in total. 10m has LEDs and there is a blank 2m of wire from the first LED to the charging unit.

Question 5

please could you advise whether you could use these in a cluster or do they have to be strung up (idea is to use them in a glass bowl with pebbles) ? thanks

We have had customers cluster these in glass bowls and vases. So long as the bowl/vase has drainage so the lights do not sit in water then you should be good!

It is a green wire. This may present a problem on a white veranda unless there is a way of hiding the wire?

All of our lights are covered by a 12 month warranty. If your set is still within the warranty and not working you may be eligible for a replacement. We do not sell the solar panel separately.

Just bought a set of the everbright solar fairy lights and I would like to disconnect the panel from the light string to charge up the batteries. Do I just pull apart or do I unscrew ??

Accepted Answer

The connector between the solar panel and lights just pulls apart with a little wiggle.

Question 17

What is USB charging

Accepted Answer

The lights come with a cable that allows you to plug the charging unit into your computer using the USB ports. This can charge your lights as a back-up when the weather is poor.

Question 18

Hi, I would like to wrap these along a length of railing. Would you be able to tell me how long the length of fairy lights for. The start where the charger pack is, to the final one. Thank you!

The 100 LED fairy light sets are 10m long. From the charging pack to the first LED it is 2m.

Question 19

Can you tell if the whole system can be switched off and on, at will manually? (e.g when it is not wished fairy lights to be lit at night). How long can a fully charged battery keep its capacity if lights are switched off ..?

Accepted Answer

The fairy lights do have an on/off button so if you do not want them on you can turn them off, however with all solar products it is recommended that they are left on charge even if not in use.

Question 20

Can I change the batteries when they are finished?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the battery pack can be swapped over for a new one after 2 - 5 years.

Question 21

Can you tell if the whole system can be switched off and on, at will manually? (e.g when it is not wished fairy lights to be lit at night). How long can a fully charged battery keep its capacity if lights are switched off ..?

Accepted Answer

The fairy lights do have an on/off button so if you do not want them on you can turn them off, however with all solar products it is recommended that they are left on charge even if not in use. We would recommend a full charge is carried out every 3 months if you do intend to put them away, once fully charged the battery would loose all its charge within this period (approximately 10% per week).

Question 22

Does the system require sunlight to charge it, or merely daylight? ie,in overcast winter skies?

Accepted Answer

Everbright Fairy Lights will work right throughout the winter period. A well located panel, see here, will give up to 8 hours run time per night.

Question 23

I want to wrap them around a large tree, in order to USB charge them would i need to take them off the tree each time and bring them indoors to be charged at the mains?

Accepted Answer

If you wanted to USB charge them you can easily disconnect the string and just take the base pack indoors to charge them. The light string can be left in position.
