Description
These string lights mix two shades of white along a single run: antique white, with its soft, candle-like warmth, and cool white, which looks crisp and bright beside it. There are 120 LEDs spread along a lit length of 8.92m, so one set goes a long way, enough to wind generously through a tree or trace the outline of a porch. Mixing the two tones gives the glow more depth than a single colour, landing somewhere between the cosy feel of traditional lights and the frosty sparkle of a winter scene. We like them for anyone who can never quite choose between warm and cool.
As these lights are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, they are just as at home on the Christmas tree in the living room as they are around a front door. Drape them along a mantelpiece or a staircase banister, weave them through a wreath or a garland, or take them outside to a porch, a window, a hedge or a corner of the garden. The mix of whites shows up especially well against greenery, where the warmer LEDs bring out the depth of the foliage and the cooler ones add a wintry shimmer.
The set runs at low voltage through a mains transformer, so there are no batteries to change and the lights simply plug into the mains. A built-in timer means you need not remember to switch them on and off, and several light functions let you change how they shine to suit the evening. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover, as you would with any plug-in light. When the season is over, wipe the cable gently with a dry cloth, coil the set loosely and store it somewhere dry. For the fullest look on a tree, start at the top and spiral down, tucking the cable into the branches as you go.
