Description
These multicoloured icicle lights hang in short drops of different lengths from one long line, each strand dotted with small LEDs that glow red, green, blue and orange. The look is lively and cheerful, like a fringe of coloured icicles catching the light, and it suits a home that likes a bright, playful Christmas rather than a quiet warm white one. The lit length is 7m, a generous run that settles how far they will reach: enough to follow the full width of a wide window, trail the length of a long mantelpiece or wind down a staircase banister without stopping short.
We like them hung across the inside of a front window, where the colours show to passers-by as well as to everyone in the room, or draped along a curtain pole so the drops fall in front of the glass. They work just as well looped along the top of a tall bookcase, framing a doorway inside the house or edging a shelf above the sofa. On a bare stretch of wall they make a cheerful backdrop for Christmas cards, and in a family living room or a playroom the mix of red, green, blue and orange feels like a party.
Each LED sits on a short stem off a fine cable, and every drop finishes with a single bulb at its tip, so the strands hang neatly from end to end. Before hanging them, lay the set out and ease the drops apart so they fall straight; when Christmas is over, coil the main line loosely around a piece of card and lay the drops alongside to stop them tangling. A soft dry cloth is all they need to stay free of dust. For the brightest effect, hang them where a plain background sits behind: a pale curtain or a white wall lets every colour stand out.

Frequently Asked
How long are these icicle lights?
The lit length is 7m, which is enough to run across a wide window, along a long mantelpiece or down a staircase banister.
What colour are the lights?
The LEDs glow in a mix of red, green, blue and orange, giving a bright multicoloured look rather than a single warm white.
How do the icicle lights hang?
The drops hang down from one main line at different lengths, each with LEDs along it and a bulb at the tip, so they make an uneven fringe like real icicles.
Where do they look best?
We suggest them for indoor places such as the inside of a window, a curtain pole, a mantelpiece, a bookcase top or a banister; outdoor use is not given for this set, so we would keep them inside.
How should I store them after Christmas?
Coil the main line loosely around a piece of card and lay the drops alongside, which helps stop them tangling and makes them quicker to hang again.
