Description
These multicoloured string lights give the Christmas tree a cheerful, traditional glow, with every LED set inside a faceted cover shaped like a cut jewel. The covers shine red, green, blue and amber, and their many angled faces catch the light and scatter it, so each point of colour looks full and rich rather than a simple dot. 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. The 40 LEDs set suits a small tree, a mantelpiece or an indoor doorway, while the 80 LEDs set gives enough length to wind round a taller tree.
We think they belong wherever a colourful Christmas is the aim. Weave them through the branches of the tree, loop them along a banister or a shelf, or frame the inside of a window so the colours show from the room. Because the set is sold in two lengths, you can choose the 40 LEDs set for a tabletop tree or a hallway and the 80 LEDs set for the main tree in the living room. They suit a home where the decorations come out every year and the tree is dressed the traditional way, with bright colour from the base to the star.
The set is low voltage and runs from the mains through a transformer, so it plugs in at a socket near the tree. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover, and run the cable where it will not be pulled or trodden on. Before handling or packing the lights away, switch off and unplug, then dust the covers with a soft dry cloth and coil the string loosely so the covers are not crushed. For a well-dressed tree, start at the base near the socket and spiral upwards, tucking the cable just inside the branches so the coloured covers sit out at the tips.
