Description
Our Dew Drop String Lights are a cluster of fine silver wires, each dotted with tiny integrated LEDs, so the whole string glitters like dew caught on a cobweb. The wire is steel with a silver finish, and every LED has a clear polycarbonate cover. The string is two metres long and weighs just 0.17KG. The light is 2000K, which is warmer than most warm white bulbs and closer to candlelight, giving a soft golden glow. It carries an IP20 rating, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms, away from water.
Because the wire is so fine, the strands can be gathered loosely into a glass vase, trailed along the centre of a dining table or draped across a shelf or a mantelpiece. A clear vase works especially well, since the glass catches every point of light and lets the silver wire show. At such a low weight the string is light enough to rest among dried flowers without bending a single stem. It suits anyone who wants a gentle glow for evenings at home, a dressed table for a dinner party, or a quiet bit of sparkle on a bedroom shelf, all without the bulk of a lamp.
The LEDs are integrated, so there are no bulbs to buy or change. The string runs at 3.2V DC, a low voltage, and steel wire holds a bend well, so you can shape the strands into loose loops and coils and they keep their form. Polycarbonate is a tough plastic that resists cracking, so the clear covers cope with being handled and rearranged. There is no switch on the string itself, as it is switched at the wall, so choose its spot with that in mind. Being IP20, it stays indoors and dry: keep it clear of sinks, bathrooms and steamy kitchens, and away from the garden.

Frequently Asked
Can the Dew Drop String Lights go outdoors?
No. They carry an IP20 rating, which means indoors and dry only, so keep them away from the garden, bathrooms and anywhere damp.
How warm is the light?
The LEDs give 2000K, a very warm colour temperature that sits closer to candlelight than to the warm white of most household bulbs.
How long is the string?
The string is two metres long and weighs 0.17KG, so it can fill a large glass vase or run along the centre of a dining table.
Is there a switch on the string?
No, there is no switch on the string itself. It is switched at the wall, so it is worth deciding where it will sit before you arrange it.
Do the bulbs need replacing?
There are no separate bulbs. The LEDs are integrated, so there is nothing to buy or change, and each one has a clear polycarbonate cover.
Which material is the wire?
The wire is steel with a silver finish, fine enough to gather loosely into a vase and firm enough to hold a gentle bend or loop.
