How Lumify work
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 (see ‘USB charging’ below).
Before you begin
Although not essential, we thoroughly recommend fully charging your battery via USB before enjoying your lights for the
first time. If you do not have access to a USB charging device such as a computer or a USB wall plug adapter, we advise
leaving them to charge outside for 3 days prior to first use. During this initial charge up period please ensure that your
Lumify lights are switched off (see diagram below) and that the solar panel is connected to the control tube.
USB charging
See diagram below. To USB charge the battery simply unscrew the cap on the control tube, insert the smaller end of the
supplied USB cable into the USB charging port on the control tube and the large end into a USB wall plug adapter or a
USB port on your computer. Please note that your computer needs be powered on during USB charging. Initially, the
USB charge indicator light will glow red, but it will change to green once the battery is fully charged. The battery in a 100
LED set will take up to 4 hours to fully charge via USB. The battery in a 300 LED set will take up to 5 hours to fully charge
via USB.
N.B Please do NOT leave your Lumify to charge unattended for longer than a few hours and disconnect the
control tube from your USB charging device soon after the light turns green.
Control tube layout
Once you have placed your lights indoors connect the LED light string to the control tube as outlined above. Now
connect the supplied USB cable to the control tube and plug the other end into a USB wall plug adapter. You can now use
the Lumify power and mode switches (see control tube layout diagram) to control the lights.
N.B. It is extremely important that you remove the battery from the control tube when using the lights indoors. If the
battery is not removed it will continually charge via your USB power source which will damage the battery and may
present a serious fire hazard.
Removing the solar panel is necessary if you plan to use Lumify indoors because the solar panel contains the light
sensor that controls when Lumify turn on and off automatically outdoors. Lumify will not operate indoors if the solar
panel is connected and there are lights on in the room.
Replacing the battery
The supplied 18650 3.7V rechargeable Lithium Ion battery is designed to work for at least a year before it needs
replacing. If you are experiencing issues within the first year of owning your lights it is unlikely that replacing the battery
will resolve the problem (please see troubleshooting). When it is time to replace your battery remove the cap from your
control tube, locate the battery compartment lid, press down on the lid and slide it left and release. The contact spring
will push the battery up so it can be removed easily. Please dispose of the dead battery responsibly and in accordance
with your local waste disposal guidelines.
Trouble Shooting
My lights are on but it isn’t dark
Your Lumify USB Solar Fairy Lights have a twilight sensor in the solar panel that tells them when it is dark enough to turn
on. If your lights are coming on during the day by themselves this may suggest that the panel thinks it is dark when it isn’t.
This can happen in unusually dark weather conditions, but usually it is a sign that the solar panel is positioned in a heavily
shaded location. Please rethink your solar panel location or remove objects obstructing light from reaching the solar
panel.
My lights worked for the first few nights and then stopped working
Usually Lumify USB Solar Fairy Lights come partially charged so they will work for a few nights without receiving a fresh
charge from the sun or by USB. If the lights stop working after a few nights then it is likely that they have not received a
fresh charge during the first few days. Firstly you will need to improve your solar panel location (see page 2). Once you
have done that USB charge your lights (see page 1) and try them again,. If you don't have access to a USB charging
device, switch the lights off by using the switch on the control tube and leave them off for a minimum of 3 days to allow
the battery to fully charge.
I can not get my lights to turn on and they never have
1.
Please start by checking that your lights are switched on by examining the switch in the control tube.
2.
Remember that Lumify USB Solar Fairy Lights will only come on after dark if the solar panel is connected.
3.
If it is dark and they are not coming on there might be a nearby light interfering with the twilight sensor. This could be
nearby streetlights or lights coming from inside our outside your property or a neighbouring property. To check this
simply disconnect the solar panel connector form the control tube. If the lights come on reconnect the solar panel to the
control tube and adjust the angle of the solar panel to avoid the light that is causing the interference.
4.
Usually our Lumify USB Solar Fairy Lights come partially charged, but this isn’t always the case. Please USB charge
your lights (see page 1) and try them again,. If you don't have access to a USB charging device, switch the lights off by
using the switch on the control tube and leave them off for a minimum of 3 days to allow the battery to fully charge.
