I absolutely love fairy lights on copper wire. First off, I love, love, love copper. No clue why, but I do. The color is so rich and vibrant. It has always been a favorite of mine. I was thrilled when they first came out with these lights. So, I am not new to them. This set is waterproof, but the waterproofing of the outdoor outlet will be up to you. That part is not waterproof. This particular set from the Gao Ge store on Amazon, is 33 feet long, and has 100 LEDs on it. 100 beautiful, warm white, LEDs. The thin copper wire is surprisingly more durable than you would think, and the LEDs are interwoven into the wire. I think it’s pretty cool how they do this. This particular set is a one mode set. They stay steady on. The cord does separate; in case you have a remote set up. These lights will accept it. Fortunately, the lead line is a good length (18”), which makes setup easier. This wire really stays put too. You can wrap it around almost anything, and it won’t budge. For example, I had a set of solar powered fairy lights, copper ones like these. I wrapped them around the landing banister of the deck. It stayed out for almost a year, before the cord was cut by the edger. We had a hurricane go through, and a ton of storms. They never, ever budged an inch. I just wrapped them around the banister too. I did not use anything at all to keep them in place. I love LEDs, they are so durable, and just keep on going, no matter what. They have a really long life span, thousands of hours. This company did not state the specific amount of hours from what I could find. From my past with this type of light, it’s normally around 50,000 hours.

These lights do not get hot to the touch at all, so little ones won’t hurt themselves if they accidently touch them. These lights use so little energy as well. They only consume 12W of power. You can do almost anything with these, as long as you have a nearby outlet. They have a regular 2 prong plug on them. You can place them inside a bottle. You can decorate your patio like I did, or your bedroom, wreaths, pictures, behind frames, and more. With the holidays coming up, you can decorate around your decorations with these. Since they are so neutral, and offer a warm white light, they can be used year round as well. There is really nothing I do not like about these lights. I am a big, big fan.

So easy to decorate with. – HIKETOLIGHT’s LED Rice Light One Kit. https://cspierdowis.com/so-easy-to-decorate-with-hiketolights-led-rice-light-one-kit/ https://cspierdowis.com/so-easy-to-decorate-with-hiketolights-led-rice-light-one-kit/#respond Tue, 24 May 2016 16:53:19 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4070

I love LED lighting. It is so much fun nowadays. There are so many different types too. This particular type is commonly known as fairy lights. They can be used year round too. I love, love, love that this unit comes with a AC power adapter. They are so easy to use this way. Since they also have an IP65 waterproof rating, they can even be used outside. Just make sure you waterproof your electrical outlet. That is on you, lol. These lights are so cool. They are made out of a metal wire, and the little lights are threading throughout the wire. The wire bends and conforms to the surface so easily. They stay put where you put them. I love wrapping them on a railing, it’s so pretty. The warm white lights are so pretty. These lights have 6 modes, but my favorite is steady on. You have different speeds of pulsing, and then flashing. The little LEDs are so bright, the flashing ones hurt my eyes, so solid on it is. You can wrap these around plants, across shelving, picture frames, wreaths, and more. You have approx. 33ft of wire to decorate with. The wire is a silver color, and looks pretty and decorative, even when off. This feature really makes decorating so much easier. You don’t have to worry so much about trying to disguise the wire. You can mold it into shapes, like a heart, star, box with a bow, because it is wire, and then hand the shape up on the wall. It is easy to do too. LED lighting, such as these, use so little energy too. Because the energy consumption is so low, and only needs 1A to run, you don’t have to think twice about using them daily. And since they do not get hot to the touch, you don’t have to worry if your kids or animals bump into them. They do not state the estimated lifespan of their LEDs, but my fairy lights that I already owned, have an estimated 25,000-hour lifespan. I do know LEDs last a long time. For example. I put a pair of solar fairy lights like these outside, about 6 months ago, and they are still coming on every night and stay lit throughout the night. My set from Hiketolight has been working wonderfully. I absolutely love my set.
