Description
These multicoloured LED string lights bring back the look of a traditional Christmas tree, with every light sitting inside its own Canterbury belle shade. Each shade is a small ribbed bell of coloured plastic that flares out to a frilled, wavy rim, and when the LED inside comes on, the ribs catch the glow and scatter it in soft stripes. The shades run in a cheerful mix of red, green, blue, amber and pink along the wire. We sell them in two sizes: 40 LEDs, with a lit length of 5.85m, and 80 LEDs, with a lit length of 11.85m. Both sizes have a 5m lead cable before the first light.
They are made for indoor and outdoor use, so they are just as happy on the tree in the front room as they are round a porch, along a doorway or through a hedge in the garden. The 40 LED set suits a smaller tree, a mantelpiece or a window, while the 80 LED set, at 11.85m lit, has the reach to wind round a tall tree or run along a fence. The coloured shades give a warm, old-fashioned glow that sits well with glass baubles, tinsel and paper chains.
The set is low voltage and runs through a mains transformer that plugs into the wall, with a built-in timer. Whenever the lights are outside, keep the transformer indoors or under cover. The shades are plastic and the lights sit on a wire, and they are wipe clean only: unplug the set and give the shades a gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth to lift any dust before they go up. Space them evenly along the branches with the bells hanging downwards, and the tree glows with colour from every side.

Frequently Asked
What sizes do these Canterbury belle string lights come in?
We sell them in two sizes. The 40 LED set has a lit length of 5.85m, and the 80 LED set has a lit length of 11.85m. Both have a 5m lead cable.
Can I use these lights outside?
Yes, they are made for indoor and outdoor use, so they suit a porch, doorway or garden as well as the tree indoors. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover.
How are the lights powered?
They are low voltage and run through a mains transformer that plugs into the wall, so they need a socket within reach of the 5m lead cable.
Do the lights have a timer?
Yes, the set has a built-in timer, which is handy when the lights are on a tree outside or in a window you would rather not reach every evening.
What are the shades made of and how do I clean them?
The bell shades are plastic and the lights sit on a wire. They are wipe clean only, so unplug the set and wipe the shades gently with a soft, dry cloth.
