Description
These Christmas string lights carry 64 RGB LEDs along a white cable 31.5m long, so one set reaches a long way before you need to think about a second. RGB stands for red, green and blue, the three elements each LED is built from. The white cable is a deliberate choice: it sits quietly against white woodwork, pale walls, painted banisters and frosted branches, where a dark cable would draw the eye. A 5m lead cable gives you room to place the lights where you want them while the plug stays near the socket.
With 31.5m to play with, these lights suit the bigger jobs indoors. Wind them down a long staircase banister, run them along beams or a picture rail, or spiral them round a tall Christmas tree from the top branch to the bottom. They also frame a large window from the inside, follow the line of a mantelpiece and bookshelves, or light a conservatory through the darker evenings. If you decorate a big hallway or an open-plan room each December and find ordinary sets fall short, the length here saves joining several smaller strings and hunting for spare sockets.
The set works at low voltage, through a mains transformer that plugs into an ordinary socket, so it runs for as long as it is plugged in. As general good practice, keep the transformer somewhere dry and well ventilated, and never cover it with fabric or foliage. When the decorations come down, unplug the set, dust the cable gently with a soft dry cloth and coil it loosely so the LEDs are not crushed in storage. On the tree, begin at the top and work down in even spirals; along a banister, a few soft ties hold the white cable neatly without marking the paintwork.
