Start by measuring the area you want to cover, then match it to the net’s width and height. A few common options on this page include:

• About 1.1m x 1.1m with ~100 LEDs for small shrubs.
• About 9.8ft x 6.6ft with ~192 LEDs for hedges and medium spaces.
• About 3m x 2m with ~200 LEDs for larger sections.
• About 10ft x 10ft with ~280 LEDs for wide coverage.

Choose LED count and color to suit your look; denser nets create a fuller effect. It’s not advisable to cut net lights—select a slightly larger size and tuck extra behind, or go with a smaller net for a precise fit.

Performance varies by sunlight, season, and the specific model’s battery. After cloudy days, shorter charging can reduce run time.

• Place the solar panel in unobstructed sun and keep it clean for better charging.
• Some models include USB backup charging, which can help during extended overcast stretches.
• Mode choice affects power use; if your net offers dimming or steady modes, those settings can help conserve energy.
• Winter’s shorter days and colder temps can impact batteries, so check each product page for its expected run-time details.

Most solar net lights with auto on/off will still activate at dusk, but duration depends on the day’s charge level.

Keep it simple and gentle—net lights are designed to drape.

1. Unpack and lay the net flat to avoid tangles.
2. Stake or mount the solar panel in a sunny spot and angle it toward midday sun.
3. Drape the mesh evenly over the bush from top down; avoid pulling tight.
4. Use soft plant ties or included stakes to secure edges; keep connectors off the soil.
5. Select a lighting mode and check coverage at dusk; adjust as needed.

Many options are water-resistant for outdoor use, but avoid submerging components and keep the controller and connections away from standing water.

A few quick checks can help narrow it down:

• Power and mode: Confirm the switch is ON and a mode is selected. Some have a memory function that resumes the last setting.
• Light sensor: They won’t illuminate in bright daylight. Cover the panel to simulate dusk during testing.
• Protective film: Remove any film from the solar panel.
• Charge: Allow a full sunny day to recharge (or use USB backup if your model supports it).
• Connections/remote: Re-seat connectors, replace the remote’s battery if needed, and review timer settings.
• Panel care: Wipe the panel with a soft cloth to clear dust.

If issues persist, consult the item’s manual or product page for model-specific guidance and support information.

Controls differ by model, but many solar net lights include helpful features:

• Multiple lighting modes (often 8), such as waves, sequential, slow fade, twinkle, and steady on.
• Remote control to change modes and, on dimmable versions, adjust brightness or set a timer.
• Memory function that recalls your last mode after charging.
• Auto on/off via a built-in light sensor at dusk and dawn.

If you want more flexibility, look for nets that include a remote, timer, and dimming. For periods of low sun, some versions add USB charging so you can top up the battery when needed.
