This is more than just a simple curtain light of the type I have reviewed several times in the past. In the surprisingly small plain brown box were the curtains lights, remote control, 3 bags of white feathers, hooks, and two mini colour LED strings.
Build quality is good but lightweight, as to be expected with this sort of product and at this sort of price. The curtain lights themselves take the form of ten warm white 300cm LED strings attached to a 300cm central wire and powered by a standard USB plug. This plug has a simple switch on it to turn the 300 LED string set On and off and flash. The included credit card-sized remote control allows for further control over the lights with eight flashing modes, but I am always pleased to see an old fashioned manual switch as these little remotes have a habit of getting lost in our house. The modes are: Combination, Waveform, Continuous, Slow lighting, Chase/Flash, Slow Fade, Flash/Flash, Steady. The strings are rated as being IP44 water-resistant, which means they will be fine in a shower but sustained heavy rain or water immersion should be avoided.
The two mini strings have twinkling coloured lights with a simple on/off switch on their small control units which also house the button type batteries which power them. The feathers, the first I have ever seen with this sort of kit, are designed to be woven into the LED strings for additional atmospheric effect. The five hooks have tiny pins on the reverse so they can be temporarily fixed to the wall.
Take care and do not rush when putting the strings in place. The wires come wound in the loops but will tie themselves into impenetrable knots at the slightest opportunity. Try fixing the main wire, from which the others are suspended, in place first and then slowly and careful unfurl and position each hanging wire. If you are patient about it and resist the temptation to rush then you may complete the task whilst retaining your sanity, but no promises there. Once in place, however, the final effect can be stunning. Given the time and effort needed to put the lights up you may well feel inclined to leave them in place all year. If you do take them down again then be sure do so just as carefully. These lights can last for years if treated properly and the sight of a large display such as this can be eye-catching at any time of year.
Christmas will be here soon and this £14.99 set may be just what is needed to bring some festive cheer to your home.
