These fairy lights can be personalised with your own message as long as what you want to say is less then twenty letters long! There are twenty tiny shades altogether on a clear cable. 5 metres are lit and then there are 5 metres from the last shade to the plug. UK plug only. The liitle shades themselves are 7cm high and have a 6cm dimeter. They are CE marked and saftey tested and are for INDOOR use only! They are best used in an evening setting. They really come to life when the lights are low! You could use them for childrens rooms, nurseries, weddings...it's up to your imagination!
