Applications
- Construction sites and renovation projects requiring temporary, portable task lighting
- Industrial work areas, warehouses, and maintenance zones needing long-run illumination
- Outdoor workspaces where wet-location performance and UV resistance are required
- Temporary pathway, perimeter, and staging-area lighting for crews and equipment
Installation Tips
- Disconnect power before installation, cleaning, or maintenance to prevent electric shock.
- Use the integrated hanging hook on each lamp to secure the string light firmly, especially when installing at height.
- For extended runs, connect only compatible strands and keep total connected load to 400W max (up to 4 fixtures).
- Install in an appropriate environment and keep the unit away from corrosive substances; harsh conditions can reduce lifespan.
- Ensure proper separation between live parts and metal parts to satisfy reinforced/double insulation requirements.
