Yuletide Low Voltage Connectable String Lights are indoor LED string lights that run from a plug top transformer, so the wire itself carries 31V rather than 230V mains. There are two lengths: a 10 metre set with 100 LEDs and a 30 metre set with 300 LEDs. Each length comes in warm white, cool white or multicolour on dark green cable, and the 30 metre set has an 8 function controller. Every set has a 3M lead wire with the transformer and a 3 pin plug, and sets connect together up to 1200 LEDs in one run from a single socket. They are rated IP20, which means indoor use only.

Planning the Run
- A mantelpiece, a window or a small tree: one 10 metre set.
- A full size Christmas tree or a long banister: one 30 metre set, or join several 10 metre sets.
- Start at the trunk and work out along the main branches rather than wrapping the outside of the tree, which gives depth once it is dark.
- Keep the transformer at the socket and clear of water from the tree stand.
- For a garden, porch or house front, choose an IP44 rated set from our outdoor Christmas lights instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of low voltage string lights over mains lights?
A: Safety. The transformer sits at the plug, so the wire running through the tree carries 31V rather than 230V. It is the usual choice where the cable is within reach of children or pets.
Q: Can these string lights be used outdoors?
A: No. They are rated IP20, which means indoor use only. For a garden, porch or house front, choose an IP44 rated set from our outdoor Christmas lights range.
Q: How many sets can I join together?
A: Up to 1200 LEDs in one run. That is twelve of the 100 LED sets or four of the 300 LED sets, all running from a single socket.
Q: Which length do I need for a Christmas tree?
A: One 10 metre set suits a small tree, a mantelpiece or a window. For a full size tree or a long banister, use the 30 metre set, or join several 10 metre sets.
Q: Can I mix colours in one run?
A: Yes. A warm white run with one multicolour set in a tree works well. Avoid mixing warm white and cool white in the same run, as the two whites clash once lit.
Q: Can I put them on a timer?
A: Yes. A plug in timer or a WiFi smart plug both work. A WiFi smart plug lets you change the schedule from your phone.
