One Window. Four Metres of Weather.
Most festive lighting is sold by the metre and judged by the wattage. The better question is what it does to a room at nine o'clock in the evening in December, and the answer for an icicle curtain is vertical. Sixteen hanging strings drop between 40cm and 60cm from a four-metre span, which means the light falls the way snow actually falls, in columns, rather than as a flat wash of bulbs. Ninety-six LEDs at six watts give enough output to read by and little enough draw to leave on until the morning.
The snowflake heads are moulded in PC, the same material used for outdoor signage lenses, so they hold their shape in cold air and do not yellow under UV the way cheap acetate decorations do. The garland runs on a standard EU plug, which keeps it off the battery cycle and makes it usable from November through to January without a maintenance ritual. Warm white reads as candlelight on a porch; cool white reads as frost; multicolour turns the same fixture into something a household with children will never let you take down.
Hang it across a window, a porch beam, a stair rail or the front of a hedge. The point of a curtain of light is that it gives a plain surface a season, and this one does it with the wire hidden and the shape intact.
A window is just a window until the light learns to hang.

Where It Earns Its Place
The obvious placement is a front window, where the vertical fall of light reads from both inside and out. On a porch beam it frames an entrance for the season; across a stair rail it turns a circulation space into part of the decoration. For a small shop it dresses a display window without wiring in anything permanent, and for a garden it is best under a covered pergola where the plug stays dry. Because the strands hang rather than lie flat, it works on surfaces that ordinary fairy lights cannot make interesting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this be used outdoors?
A: It is designed for indoor use and covered outdoor placement. The plug connection must stay dry, so under a porch, pergola or inside a window is the right call. Do not leave the plug exposed to direct rain.
Q: How much power does it draw?
A: Six watts across 96 LEDs, which means a full evening of use costs a fraction of a single incandescent string. It is safe to leave on as evening light rather than treating it as a display piece.
Q: Which colour should I choose?
A: Warm white reads as candlelight and suits traditional interiors; cool white reads as frost and suits modern ones; multicolour suits family homes and children. Blue and purple are the dramatic options for party use.
Q: How long is it exactly?
A: Approximately four metres of span with sixteen hanging strings dropping between forty and sixty centimetres each. That covers a standard living room window or a porch beam comfortably.
Q: Does it need a controller or batteries?
A: No controller and no batteries. It runs directly on the EU plug, which removes the seasonal battery ritual and keeps the output steady as the weeks pass.
Q: Does the PC material matter?
A: It does. PC holds its shape in cold air and resists the yellowing that cheap acetate snowflakes develop after a season in the sun, so the decoration still looks intentional in year three.
Q: How do I store it after the season?
A: Coil it loosely around a card rather than folding the strands, keep it in a dry bag, and store it away from direct sunlight. Laid correctly it hangs without tangling the following winter.
