Description
These poinsettia string lights set 25 warm white LEDs into the hearts of red poinsettia flowers, so each light glows through layered, veined petals like a tiny lantern. Lit, the flowers give off a rich, rosy warmth that feels festive the moment you switch them on. The lit length is 3.6 metres, enough to run the full length of a mantelpiece or wind through the branches of a tree, and a 5-metre lead cable comes before the first flower, so the poinsettias can sit well away from where the set is powered.
We think they are at their best indoors, where the flowers can be seen up close. Drape them along a mantelpiece among greenery, twist them through a garland on the banister, loop them across a bookshelf or a dresser, or frame the inside of a window so the red glow shows from the street. On the Christmas tree the poinsettias sit happily among baubles and ribbon, giving a traditional look with very little effort. They suit a dining room sideboard just as well, wound around a bowl of pine cones and clementines for the Christmas table.
The 25 LEDs are spread along the lit length, each sitting in its own flower, and the long lead cable gives you freedom to place the set without stretching it tight. To keep them looking fresh, switch the lights off and dust the petals gently with a soft dry cloth, and fluff any flattened petals back into shape with your fingers. When the season ends, coil the set loosely rather than winding it tight, so the flowers keep their form for next Christmas. For a classic red and green scheme, we like them threaded through a fir garland along a hall shelf, where the warm white light picks out every petal.

Frequently Asked
How long are the poinsettia string lights?
The lit length, where the 25 flowers sit, is 3.6 metres, and there is a 5-metre lead cable before the first flower to give you reach.
How many LEDs are there and what colour is the light?
There are 25 warm white LEDs, each set inside a red poinsettia flower, so the glow comes through the petals with a soft, rosy warmth.
Can I use these string lights outside?
The record does not state outdoor use, so we suggest them for indoor places such as a mantelpiece, a staircase, a shelf, the tree or inside a window.
Will they work on a Christmas tree?
Yes, the 3.6-metre lit length winds nicely through the branches, and the red poinsettias sit comfortably among baubles and ribbon for a traditional look.
How should I look after the flowers?
With the lights switched off, dust the petals gently with a soft dry cloth, reshape any flattened petals with your fingers, and store the set loosely coiled.
