FAQs
Can I mix sizes in one display?
Yes – mix large and small for balance and visual interest
Which bulbs are safest?
Always use LED bulbs or fairy lights; never high-heat bulbs. Our stars are British Standard tested up to 40 watts.
Are your stars suitable for outdoor use?
Our paper star lanterns are designed for indoor use. You can display them outdoors in dry, sheltered conditions, but they are not waterproof. Always bring them inside after use.
Will the colour look the same when lit?
Colours may appear warmer or softer when illuminated. Pale colours will reflect light, and darker colours will give a richer, moodier glow.
