If glow worms are allegedly seen in lots more gardens in future, this could be due to cherry bubbls solar. The simple yet refined light chain can be hung anywhere from trees or fastened to balcony railings, wherever subtle light accents are pleasing to the eye. And with its solar panel as energy source, it lights up everywhere completely self-sufficiently.
The light chain switches on when it starts to get dark thanks to the automatic twilight function.

How do I start using the light chain, and will it work immediately?
After unpacking for the first time, the luminaire needs a first light pulse lasting about 10 seconds, which is provided by daylight. This activates the solar panel.
To be sure that the battery is fully charged, it should be exposed to direct sunlight ideally for 2 days; during this time, the solar panel is preferably not connected to the luminaire. The initial charging process should be made indoors, to warrant protection class IP65. Once the solar panel is fully charged, it can be connected with the luminaire.
How is the light chain charged?
To be sure that the battery is fully charged, it should be exposed to direct sunlight ideally for 2 days; during this time, the solar panel is preferably not connected to the luminaire. The initial charging process should be made indoors, to warrant protection class IP65. Once the solar panel is fully charged, it can be connected with the luminaire.
Does the battery of the solar panel charge even on cloudy days with little solar harvest, or even in autumn/winter months?
The solar panel is also charged on cloudy days and also in autumn/winter months and then still reaches up to 25% of full power.
The alignment of the solar panel must be adjusted to the level of the sun in the sky, which changes according to the season.
Are there other options to operate the light chain on days with little solar harvest, such as winter?
It is possible to operate the cherry bubbls solar alternatively with our powerbank. This is a component of the cherry bubbls and can also be requested separately by the retailer.
Is the light chain charged when it is delivered?
To be sure that the battery is fully charged, it should be exposed to direct sunlight ideally for 2 days; during this time, the solar panel is preferably not connected to the luminaire. The initial charging process should be made indoors, to warrant protection class IP65. Once the solar panel is fully charged, it can be connected with the luminaire.
How long does it take for the solar panel battery to be fully charged?
It takes the solar panel battery about 2 sunny days with constant direct sunshine to be fully charged.
How long is the usage time of the light chain once the solar panel is fully charged?
Once the battery is fully charged, the light chain can be used for about 15 hours.
Can the light chain stay outside during the winter?
The light chain can stay outside even during the winter months.
How do I choose the best place to put the light chain respectively solar panel?
Put the solar panel outdoors in a place with direct sunshine (facing south) where it is exposed to continuous direct sunlight. Functions may be restricted during the autumn/winter when the sun is no longer so high in the sky with possibly longer periods of shade, depending on the region.
The solar panel must be kept permanently free of dirt and debris, foliage, leaves and branches, as otherwise the charging results can be considerably impaired.
Why won’t the solar panel charge properly?
The solar panel must be absolutely free of dirt and debris, foliage, leaves and branches to obtain the best possible charging results.
Why won’t the light chain switch on?
The battery capacity is insufficient. To charge the battery, the solar panel must be exposed to direct sunshine (facing south) with continuous, direct sunlight.
In autumn/winter months the function of the solar panel may be restricted when the sun is no longer so high in the sky with possibly longer periods of shade, depending on the region.
The solar panel must be kept permanently free of dirt and debris, foliage, leaves and branches, as otherwise the charging results can be considerably impaired.
The solar panel and luminaire have not been connected properly.
How frequently can the battery be charged?
The battery can be charged about 800-1000 times, depending on charging and usage patterns.
Can the solar panel battery be replaced?
In case of failure, the battery can be replaced by IP44.DE. Please contact your retailer.
I’m using several luminaires. Why do they switch on at different times?
The luminaires will be located in different places with different dimming phases. This can result in different switch-on times.
How do I clean the light chain and solar panel?
To make sure your luminaires don't lose their looks and bring you lasting pleasure, we need a little help from you: please clean all components regularly. Please also remember that different materials and environments need different kinds of care.
Do not use a pressure washer.
A gentle solvent-free household cleaning agent is all you need to care for your luminaire. Then polish all luminaire components off with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use scouring agents, steel wool, scouring pads, acid or alkaline cleaning agents as these would damage the surface.
