Materials & tools
- 1 undamaged, ready-made low-voltage LED fairy-light set
- Manufacturer’s instructions and any supplied power adaptor
- Clips or removable hooks suitable for the wall surface
- Tape measure
- A dry display area with an accessible appropriate power point
Step-by-step instructions
- Read the label for indoor or outdoor use and connection limits. Inspect for damage, fraying, loose fittings or a cracked adaptor; do not use a damaged set.
- Choose a dry corner away from curtains, water, heaters and the main walking route. Plan the cable path so the plug and switch remain reachable.
- Test the set as its instructions describe, then disconnect power before arranging it. Do not cut, splice or alter the wires.
- Place suitable clips or hooks in a loose outline. Hang the lights without pinching cables in doors or driving staples through them.
- Reconnect using the supplied compatible adaptor and an appropriate socket. Do not overload extension leads or join sets beyond their stated limits.
- Check that no wires trail across the floor and switch off when the display is unattended or the household goes to sleep. Remove gently and store without tightly crushing the cable.
Good to know
- Low-voltage LEDs still require the correct adaptor and a suitable environment.
- Use manufacturer-rated outdoor lights for an outdoor location; an indoor set is not made weather-safe by tape or a cover.
