Found the fixing a real chore but love the star lantern and LED light.
The light works well but it is extremely fiddly to tie the star around light fittings or the LED. It is easier to tie a star up then fit the LED inside it rather than do it when it is already hanging. We gave up trying to tie the star around a light fitting it was just too difficult to do so we bought the LED
Treated myself and I absolutely love it!
Fabulous. Works really well with the star lights
Bought 2 for my 2 grandchildren. Biggest problem was choosing which ones as they are all gorgeous. One well received the other not been given yet

FAQs
How do I use my star?
Use as a lampshade over any pendant light fitting or as a lantern with a set of battery operated LED fairy lights inside.
Our stars also look fantastic unlit as 3D decorations.
To preserve materials, we encourage using our stars over a light source you may already have – but we do supply cable kits and fairy lights just in case you need them!
Our stars are perfect for use indoors, or in dry outdoor environments.
What lamp should I use inside?
They have been tested to use with a maximum wattage bulb of 40 watts.
However - LED lamps between 2 and 5 watts are the best – the higher the wattage and lumens ( e.g. 5 watts ), the brighter it will be. For a more ambient glow, use a set of LED fairy lights or a lower wattage lamp ( e.g. 2 watts ).
The effects of the star will be different depending on which colour star and which type of light you use inside.
Our stars conform to the British Standard for luminaires BS EN 60598
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.
