What is DualWhite?
Each LED on our latest Lumify DualWhite USB Solar Fairy Lights can light up in either white, warm white or our stunning new blended white colour. With DualWhite you can change your outdoor feel from ice white to a warm white vintage glow at the press of a button. Or you can try our stunning brand new blended white colour. If white is silver, and warm white is gold, our new blended white colour would be something like platinum. It's as if a warm white sparkle has been added to every bright white LED bulb.
If you've had Lumify before you might notice a few other changes.
Lumify Solar Fairy Lights
The Solar Centre was the first company to bring solar fairy lights to the UK market. Lumify DualWhite is our fourth generation solar fairy light product and by far the best. We have learnt a lot from our customers since we started designing solar lights fifteen years ago and all that knowledge and experience has been poured into our Lumify DualWhite design making them by far the most advanced solar lighting product we have ever launched. Our 3 in 1 DualWhite LEDs don't just change colour, they are also brighter and more efficient.
Innovative Tube Design
Water ingress is one of the main reasons solar lights fail. Lumify uses an innovative new tube design which guarantees unrivalled waterproofing. The battery compartment, power switch, mode switch and USB charging port are all protected under an o-ring sealed screw cap which offers bottle-tight waterproofing. Both the solar panel and LED string are connected into the base of the tube using o-ring sealed valve connectors so there are no weak points.
Slick Solar Panel Design
Lumify's slick solar panel is just 8mm thick and uses thermally toughened ultra-clear tempered glass to seal the Lumify solar cells which maximises transmission efficiency and is guaranteed not to cloud over time. Clouding is common on cheap and mid-range solar lights and is one of the main reasons they deteriorate within a year or two. Lumify solar panels also offer a high degree of frost resistance which means they will clear quickly on those chilly winter mornings allowing them to soak up all available winter sun throughout the day. Lumify solar panels come with stake and wall mounting options included and can be angled up and down as well as tilted left and right.
Easily Replaceable Lithium Ion Battery
Lumify uses a single high powered 18650 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery (included) which have become the battery of choice for high-end electronics manufacturers. These high powered state-of-the-art batteries will offer years of hassle free use and can be replaced quickly and easily at any point in the future.
Powersaving Mode
Powersaving mode is for those that don't have a great solar panel location available and aren't able to USB charge. Lumify's advanced Powersaving mode reduces brightness slightly which doubles the runtime of the lights.
Enhanced USB Charging
We pioneered USB charging on our Everbright range back in 2012 because not everyone has a solar-friendly spot in their garden. Lumify's unique high-efficiency circuit design takes USB charge to a new level. Lumify can work for 6 nights in a row from a single 4 hour USB charge with only a little help from the sun - this can be extended to 12 days if you use Powersaving mode.
Remote Solar Panel
Years of selling and designing solar lights have taught us that solar lights with separate solar panels always perform better. Lumify is a 3 piece system consisting of the solar panel, control tube and light string. The solar panel is connected to control tube by a 2m cable and there is 2m of cable between the control tube and the first LED bulb on the light string. This means that you can get your solar panel in a great location (the higher up the better) but still have your control tube within easy reach.
Indoor and outdoor
Lumify have been designed to be used outdoors where they will withstand everything the British weather can throw at them, but that doesn't mean you can't use them indoors too! Simply remove the battery, disconnect the solar panel and plug them in to a USB charging source where they can operate indoors like normal mains powered lights.
Disconnectable Solar Panel and Fairy Light String
Lumify have been carefully designed to ensure that both the solar panel and fairy light string can be disconnected from the control tube quickly and easily so you can leave your lights and solar panel in situ if you ever need to take the control tube inside to charge it by USB.
Lighting Modes
Lumify DualWhite offers 4 lighting modes in each of the three colours making 12 modes in all. The modes are 1) all lights on 2) slow flash 3) slow fade and 4) mode cycle. Steady on is by far the most popular mode among our own customers so we have made this mode the first mode and the default mode on Lumify. Once you have selected your favourite mode Lumify will remember that setting and light up in that mode automatically each night.
Fully Automatic
Lumify USB Solar Fairy Lights are fully automatic so once you have set them up, turned them on and selected your favourite mode, they will light up automatically at dusk and turn off automatically after 8 hours. There is an on/off switch in the control tube so you can turn your lights off at any point. You can also use the on/off switch to reset the timer - simply turn your lights off and back on at any point in the evening and the 8 hour timer will be reset. Lumify will continue to charge if they have been switched off, but they will not turn on and off automatically until they have been turned on at the switch.

Once the the charging light turns green, slide the switch into the S position, take the tube outside and connect your light string and solar panel. Your lights will turn on automatically at dusk.

How it works
During the day the sun's rays are absorbed by the solar panel which sends that energy to the battery inside the control
tube where the energy is stored. After dark the battery powers the Lumify USB Solar Fairy Lights. Lumify have been
designed to work year-round using solar power alone, but you can also fully charge the battery quickly at any time by
using a USB charging device such as your computer or a USB wall plug adapter.
