Description
These multicoloured LED string lights bring back the classic look of a traditional Christmas tree, with every light sitting in its own little Pickwick shade. Each shade is a small scalloped cup of coloured plastic, pressed all over with rows of tiny raised bubbles, with a slim candle-shaped LED rising from its centre, so the string glows in cheerful pink, red, orange, green and blue. 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.
As they are made for indoor and outdoor use, they are just as at home on the Christmas tree as they are around a porch, a front door or a window outside. Indoors, the 40 LED size suits a smaller tree, a mantelpiece or a garland on the staircase, while the 80 LED size, with 11.85m of lit length, has the reach for a tall tree or a long run along a bannister. They are a happy choice for anyone who remembers coloured shades on the family tree and wants that same glow, lit by LEDs.
The set is made of plastic and wire with LED lights, and it runs at low voltage through a mains transformer, so you will need a plug socket nearby. Whenever the lights go outside, keep the transformer indoors or under cover. Care is simple, as the set is wipe clean only: unplug it and give the shades a gentle wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth when they gather dust, letting them dry before you switch on again. When the season ends, wind the string loosely around a piece of card so the shades keep their shape for next Christmas. For the most nostalgic tree, weave the lights in from the trunk outwards and let the coloured shades sit at the tips of the branches.
