Description
These Christmas cluster lights pack their LEDs tightly along a green cable, so a tree glows with a thick, even sparkle rather than a scattering of single points. There are 3000 LEDs in all, spread over a length of 39.9m, which gives you enough to wind generously through the branches of a large tree from the top right down to the lowest boughs. The green cable settles in among needles and foliage, so with the lights on the eye goes to the glow rather than the wiring. A separate 5m lead cable gives you room to reach a socket without trailing the lit section across the floor.
We think of these as lights for a big indoor display. Wound round a tall tree they give the dense, full look that cluster lights are chosen for, and the length means a single run can cover the whole tree. They are just as good laced along a staircase banister, woven through a garland on the mantelpiece or framed around the inside of a large bay window, where they light the room and catch the eye of anyone passing. For anyone who dresses a grand tree every December, they make a generous and very welcome present.
The set runs at low voltage through a mains transformer, which plugs into an ordinary socket; keep the transformer indoors and away from damp as a matter of good practice. Before you switch on, unwind the whole length and check it over, then start at the bottom of the tree nearest the socket so the lead cable reaches easily. When the season ends, wind the cable loosely in long loops rather than tight coils, which keeps the clusters untangled, and dust it gently with a soft dry cloth if needed. For the fullest glow, work from the trunk outwards along each branch.

Frequently Asked
How long are these cluster lights?
The lights run for 39.9m and carry 3000 LEDs along that length, with a separate 5m lead cable to reach your socket.
How are the lights powered?
They run at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into an ordinary household socket, so they are ready whenever you switch them on.
What colour is the cable?
The cable is green, so it blends in among the branches of a tree or a garland and lets the glow of the LEDs take centre stage.
Are they long enough for a large tree?
With 39.9m of lights and 3000 LEDs, there is plenty of length to wind closely through a large tree, from the top down to the lowest branches.
Where else can I use them around the house?
They look lovely laced along a staircase banister, woven through a mantelpiece garland or framed around the inside of a large window.
How should I store them after Christmas?
Wind the cable loosely in long loops rather than tight coils, and keep the set somewhere dry so the clusters stay untangled and ready to use again.
