Description
These warm glow string lights carry about three metres of tiny LED lights along fine metal wire, all running from a small battery box, so no plug or socket is needed. The lights shine warm white rather than a cool blue-white, and sit roughly 5cm apart along the length for an even glow from one end to the other. A clear lead of about 34cm runs from the battery box to the first light, giving you room to tuck the box out of sight. End to end, the whole set measures about 340cm.
Because they run on batteries, these fairy lights go wherever you want them indoors, with no wall socket needed nearby. We like them wound round a headboard, draped along a mantelpiece or bookshelf, threaded round a mirror frame or coiled inside a glass jar for a little lantern on a bedside table. The fine wire bends easily, so it can follow a curve, trace the edge of a shelf or wrap a bunch of dried flowers. They are for indoor use only, so keep them to dry rooms such as the bedroom, living room, hallway or a reading corner, where a warm white glow makes a cosy spot for the evening.
The battery box is clear plastic with a small on/off switch and takes three AA batteries. The tiny LEDs sit along metal wire. When you put the lights away, coil the wire loosely rather than winding it tight, and take the batteries out if they will be stored for a while. A soft dry cloth is all the battery box needs. Coiled into a jar with a few pine cones, or wrapped round a bare branch in a vase, a set of these makes an easy gift and a quick way to warm up a shelf on a dark evening.

How far apart are the LEDs?
The tiny LEDs sit roughly 5cm apart along the fine metal wire, which gives an even warm white glow along the whole length.
Can I use these lights in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. These lights are for indoor use only, so please keep them to dry rooms indoors, such as a bedroom, living room or hallway.
