Question which string tension ?

I am moving from electric bass to double bass and have bought a Stentor 3/4 size. Sadly I have some arthritis in the left wrist and find the string tension a bit too strong ( I don`t know what strings are on it from the maker). I play mainly folk style music and blues at present. Can anyone give me some easily understood help and advice on lighter strings. Many thanks.

What are the silk colors at the tailpiece and tuner ends, please?
I think we should first ID what you have and go from there.
