This control module is connected to a solar panel which charges the batteries during daylight. At dusk the light sensor in the solar panel turns the lights on automatically and at dawn turns the lights off.The lights also have a timer mode to help conserve battery during the winter months or during long periods of very dull days. This allows you to tell the solar fairy lights to turn off after 6 8 or 10 hours rather than waiting until dawn (typically 14 hours in winter). Using the timer mode in winter will conserve battery charge enabling you to enjoy the lights on more consecutive nights.Do they have different lighting modes?The Solar Fairy Lights have 6 different lighting modes as follows:1. Alternating2. Chasing3. Fast Flash4. Slow Flash5. Fast Flicker6. All Lights OnHow do I set them up?The Solar Fairy Lights are incredibly quick and easy to install!
