Description
This copper wire snowflake light brings a soft, twinkling glow to a mantelpiece, sideboard or shelf through the festive weeks. The frame is shaped as a classic six-armed snowflake, each arm finished with a pointed, branching tip and all six meeting at an open ring in the centre. Fine copper-toned wire traces every line, and along it sit 720 warm white LEDs, so the whole shape reads clearly as a snowflake even from across the room. The lights twinkle rather than burning steadily, which gives that frosty, sparkling look we love at this time of year.
We think it suits an indoor spot where it can be seen at eye level: a sideboard in the hall, a dresser in the dining room, a deep windowsill or a bookcase in the living room. It looks lovely on its own against a dark wall, and just as good among greenery, pine cones and baubles, where the warm white light picks out the foliage around it. We recommend it for use inside the house. Because it is all outline and light, it sits comfortably with a traditional scheme or a more modern one.
It runs on low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into the wall, and a 5m lead cable gives you plenty of reach to the nearest socket, so it need not sit beside one. Keep the transformer indoors and away from damp, and switch off at the socket before moving or adjusting the light. To care for it, dust the wire frame with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water; at the end of the season, coil the cable loosely and store the snowflake flat in a dry box so the arms keep their shape. For a fuller look, group it with greenery and a few pine cones beneath.

Frequently Asked
How is the snowflake light powered?
It runs on low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into a wall socket, so there are no batteries to buy or replace.
How long is the lead cable?
The lead cable is 5m long, which gives you room to place the snowflake a good way from the nearest socket.
Do the lights twinkle?
Yes, the 720 warm white LEDs twinkle, giving the snowflake a gentle, frosty sparkle rather than a steady glow.
Can I use it outdoors?
Outdoor use is not stated for this light, so we recommend it for indoor spots such as a sideboard, mantelpiece or windowsill, with the transformer kept indoors and dry.
What is the snowflake made of?
The snowflake is formed from copper wire, with the tiny LEDs running along each arm so the six-armed shape shows clearly when lit.
How should I look after it?
Switch it off at the socket, dust the wire frame with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from water and store it flat in a dry box.
