FAQs
How do I use my star?
Use your star as a lampshade over an existing pendant light fitting, or as a lantern with battery-operated LED fairy lights inside.
For an easy plug-in option, pair it with our USB LED Lighting Kit, sold separately. If you already have a suitable low-heat LED light source, you can use that instead.
Our stars also look beautiful unlit as 3D decorations.
Use indoors or in dry, sheltered outdoor settings.
What lamp should I use inside?
Use an LED lamp up to 7 watts and make sure the bulb does not touch the paper. A 2 to 5 watt LED works well for most stars. Higher output gives a brighter glow, while a lower output or battery-operated LED fairy lights creates a softer ambience.
The effect will vary depending on the colour of the star and the light source you choose.
Paper Starlights conform to BS EN IEC 60598-1:2021.
How do they work?
They come flat. You simply open them up one point at a time and tie the two cords together to form a perfect star.
Instructions are provided with each lantern and you can watch a video which shows you how to open and hang it.
