Description
These lantern string lights bring a run of little Victorian-style lanterns to your Christmas decorating, each one glowing in its own colour. The set carries 120 LEDs. Every light sits inside a small lantern with a dark lattice frame, a gold-coloured cap and faceted panels in red, amber, green and blue, so the light catches and sparkles rather than shining as a plain point. The lit section runs 17.85m, a generous length for winding around a tree or tracing a long run of banister. A 5m lead cable comes before the first lantern, which gives you room to reach your power source without the lit section having to start beside it.
Indoors, they come into their own on the Christmas tree, where the coloured lanterns give an old-fashioned, storybook look among the branches. They also suit a mantelpiece garland, a staircase banister, a bookcase or the inside of a window. They work anywhere a string of colour will be seen up close and the lantern shapes can be admired. We think they suit anyone who loves a traditional, colourful Christmas more than a cool, minimal one, and the long lit length means one set can dress a sizeable display by itself.
Each lantern sits on its own holder along the cable, so the lanterns hang a little apart. The dark green cable blends quietly into a tree's branches or a fresh garland and leaves the lanterns to catch the eye. To care for them, switch the set off and dust the lanterns with a soft dry cloth. At the end of the season, coil the cable loosely and store it somewhere dry. For the fullest look on a tree, wind from the top down in loose spirals and tuck the cable behind the outer branches so only the coloured lanterns show.

Frequently Asked
How many lights are on the set and how long is it?
The set has 120 LEDs, each inside its own little lantern, spread along a lit length of 17.85m. That gives you plenty of length to wind around a tree or along a banister.
How far is the first lantern from the power source?
A 5m lead cable runs before the first lantern, so the lit section can begin well away from where the set is powered.
What colours are the lanterns?
The lanterns glow in a mix of red, amber, green and blue. They sit in dark lattice frames with gold-coloured caps for a traditional Victorian look.
Where do these lantern lights look best?
They suit a Christmas tree particularly well. They also look lovely along a mantelpiece garland, a staircase banister, a bookcase or inside a window.
How should I clean and store them?
Switch the set off and dust the lanterns with a soft dry cloth. Between seasons, coil the cable loosely and store it somewhere dry.
