Description
This battery powered string light is a simple white metal star wrapped in a fine wire of about 20 warm white LEDs, so the whole outline glows softly. It measures about 14cm across and 15cm tall, a neat size that sits happily on a small stretch of wall or in a window without crowding it. The lights run from two AAA batteries held in a slim silver-toned battery box on a thin lead, which means there is no plug to find and no socket to sit near. Both the star and the battery box have their own hanging loop, so it goes up in moments.
It is made for dry rooms indoors, where it brings a gentle glow to the corners that a main light leaves flat. We like it in a living room window, on a bedroom wall beside a mirror, at the end of a hallway or hung from the edge of a high shelf in a reading nook. Because it runs on batteries, you can move it from room to room as the mood takes you, and the warm white light is easy on the eye in the evenings. Hang it from a small hook or picture nail, then tuck the battery box behind a frame or let it hang beside the star by its loop.
The star frame and the fine wire that carries the LEDs are both metal, and the battery box combines plastic and metal, so the whole piece is light enough to hang from the smallest hook. To look after it, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. Hang it against a darker wall, where the warm white glow shows at its best, or wrap it with a card as a small, thoughtful gift for someone who loves a cosy room.

It runs on two AAA batteries, which fit into the slim battery box at the end of the lead, so you need no plug or socket.
