We would recommend Extendable Fairy Lights, Each come in 12 metre lengths and are extendable. Extendable means that simply by buying another set you can join these together to make upto 360 metres. The extendable fairy lights come with waterproof extension plugs that do not require an electrician.

​Our bulbs are All LED They have a 5 year like + and if care is taken with them they will last years longer

Most of our lights stay on static most people prefer them that way even though we do have indoor that do have controller and we also have controllers for our ropelight

Our longest standard length is 12 metres, we also have 6 metre lengths that are extendable to 360 metres off one power source.

On our 12 Metre lengths we have 120 LED's, on the 6 Metre Lengths we have 60 LEDs, the 3 Metre Icicles have 120 LED's

​If one LED goes out only one will go out, our lights are wired on series not parrallel

A controller used on fairy lights has already been added and is available on THE Firework lights or the cluister lights and for the LED Ropelight They have 8 functions easily selected by a push button. Controller must be kept dry and tied down so not to be left dangling and pulling at the wires.

The lights are 240 Volts but this means little, the biggest problem people have is power breaker popping this is not caused by Voltage but Amps. A standard kettle uses 9 Amps a 12 Metre Fairy Light uses 0.01 Amps. That’s right don’t drink coffee and light your house up. A standard breaker can use 20 Amps; most Oven power breakers have 30 Amps. Don’t be fooled into thinking just because you split up the lights between two wall sockets you are spreading the load. Sometimes two or three wall sockets can be wired into one breaker it depends how the house has been wired in the first place. Most houses have the ability to draw Approx 120 Amps off the main grid. If you are worried about Amps usage use LED’s they take 1/10th the Amps of a Fairy Light.

​An RCD (Residual Current Device) aka Shock Guard must be used. A RCD looks like a plug and simply plugs into your house plug it will stop any shocks or problems going into your housing supply by clicking the power off, the more you have of these the less problems you will have. Be sure to use as much as possible RCD’s as you can afford it makes it easier to find the problem in your display. With out losing the entire display

Ropelight is best kept left on your house or business as it has a UV stabalent and will look good for years to come. There is also the choice of using plastic clips that comes with the Ropelight.

Ropelight can be bent but not twisted, when unrolling please be sure to make sure the Ropelight comes out straight sometime two people are required.

Light emitting diodes, commonly called LED, are real unsung heroes in the electronics world. They do dozens of different jobs and are found in all kinds of devices. Among other things, they form the numbers on digital clocks, transmit information from remote controls, light up watches and tell you when your appliances are turned on. Collected together, they can form images on a jumbo television screen or illuminate a traffic light.

Basically, LED are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in asemiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

1. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Switching to low energy, solid-state lighting benefits the environment. The low power requirements of LED light sources make them ideal for self-contained, solar or wind powered installations, particularly in remote locations. LED consumes far less energy than standard light bulbs, leading to greatly reduced energy costs. LED also requires far less energy to manufacture than other light sources, reducing their environmental impact even further.

2. ECONOMY: Despite their initial high price, the use of LED lighting can offer significant cost savings over time, not only in terms of reduced energy consumption, but maintenance as well.

3. LONG LIFE: Even in hostile conditions, the typical working life of an LED can be several tens of thousands of hours; most domestic bulb filaments expire after just a couple of thousand hours and even compact fluorescent lamps come nowhere near the working life of LED. Also, LED doesn't suddenly burn out - they slowly fade over time, giving ample opportunity to plan replacements (which will be rare - several years with normal use and possibly even decades). Even at the end of its working life, an LED will still be giving some light.

4. STRENGTH & RELIABILITY: The filament in a normal bulb is a very fragile object, easily broken by a sudden shock or "soft" drop. An LED is encased in virtually unbreakable high strength optical grade resin. There is no glass or filament to break, making LED light sources perfect for rugged or demanding environments, or installations where access is difficult.

5. IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY: The low heat and low voltages associated with LED make them a far safer source of light. No glass to break, no white-hot filament, no flames and no noxious fumes.

6. "DESIGN FLEXIBILITY": The intrinsically safe nature of LED, combined with their long-term reliability and minute size, mean that they can be built into the fabric of almost any structure or object. Imagine a stairway, lit by its handrail; or a room illuminated by the furniture. With LED, anything can become a source of light and they offer designers and architects a lighting tool of unprecedented versatility.

Basically an LED has an endless life if something goes wrong it's the wires or the circuitry that's the problem

A glow stick is a transparent plastic tube, which contains chemical fluids held apart in two compartments. The outer plastic tube contains one part of the chemical mixture, and the inner compartment is a glass or brittle plastic tube containing the second mixture. If the light stick is bent, the inner tube breaks and the chemicals mix, resulting in a reaction that emits light but not necessarily warmth. This phenomenon is called chemo luminescence.

All our chemical glow light sticks and products come in a sealed plastic case. Even if the outer casing of the glow stick is somehow punctured or broken open, the chemical contents are non-toxic and non-flammable. But please never contact the liquid with eyes or ingesting the fluid because irritation will result.

Glow sticks will last anytime between 4 –12 hours, it all depends how old they are, Flexilight only imports small quantities frequently so we know our glow sticks are fresh and will glow longer.

Glow Sticks are very safe and non-toxic, if a glow stick does break keep fluid away from the eyes, and wash off with water.

The shelf life of a glow stick is 12 months; Glow Sticks must be kept in a cool area the colder the area the better the glow sticks will be.
