Description
These multicoloured curtain lights hang as a soft wall of colour, with 480 small LEDs set along fine wire strands that fall in neat, evenly spaced columns. Lit up, the strands glow in a rainbow of shades, from cool blues and violets through pinks and reds to warm amber and gold, so a plain window or bare wall becomes a bright sheet of light. The curtain is 2.5 metres high and 1 metre wide, a tall, slim shape that suits a window, a doorway or a narrow stretch of wall.
We like it hung inside a front window, where the colour shines out to the street on dark December evenings, or draped behind a bed, a sofa or a dresser, where it brings colour to a living room, bedroom or hallway. It also makes a cheerful Christmas backdrop behind the tree or along the wall where the family gathers for photographs. Because it hangs flat and close to the wall, it gives plenty of light without taking up floor space, which helps in smaller rooms and flats.
The set runs at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into the mains, and the 10 metre lead cable gives you room to reach a socket some way from where the curtain hangs. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover. When Christmas is over, unplug it, dust the strands gently with a soft dry cloth and coil them loosely so the fine wires do not tangle before you pack them away. For the neatest look, let the strands fall straight and even, and set the colour against a plain wall or pale curtains so every shade stands out.

Frequently Asked
How big is the curtain light?
It measures 2.5 metres high and 1 metre wide when hung, and it has a 10 metre lead cable to reach your socket.
How many LEDs does it have?
There are 480 LEDs spread across the fine wire strands, which gives a full, even wall of multicoloured light.
How is the curtain light powered?
It runs at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into the mains, so you need a socket within reach of the 10 metre lead cable.
What colour are the lights?
The LEDs glow in a rainbow of colours, running through blues, violets, pinks, reds, ambers and golds across the width of the curtain.
Where does it look best?
We like it inside a window, behind a bed or sofa, or behind the Christmas tree, anywhere indoors that a tall, slim wall of colour fits.
How should I store it after Christmas?
Unplug it, dust the strands with a soft dry cloth and coil them loosely so the fine wires do not tangle while they are packed away.
