It is also why battery fairy lights are practical: they switch on without plugging anything in and free the socket already taken by a floor lamp.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which light colour for the living room?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Warm white for the dining corner, reading and evenings; neutral white if the living room also serves as an office. Avoid mixing three temperatures in the same room: choose one dominant tone, then a single accent source such as fairy lights.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Eating on a wooden table without a tablecloth: where to place the fairy lights?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Along the edge of the top, along the table runner, or hanging above the meal. Keep the centre free for the dishes and keep the battery box away from the glasses. Unprotected wood dislikes damp marks, so no fairy lights placed in a puddle.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you remove varnish from wood before fixing fairy lights to it?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is not necessary. An adhesive fixing or a clip comes off without damaging the finish, whereas a stripper or sanding attacks the varnish and leaves a mark more visible than the hook. If the surface is dusty, a dry cloth is enough before sticking.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do outdoor battery fairy lights withstand rain?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It all depends on the IP rating stated on the product page: IP44 protects against splashes, IP54 adds dust, IP65 withstands a water jet. The battery box remains the sensitive point: even in IP65, it goes under an awning or behind an upright, never in a puddle.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long do rechargeable battery fairy lights stay on?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Runtime depends on the battery capacity and the number of LEDs lit, as well as the mode chosen; it is stated on the product page for each model. A rechargeable battery above all avoids buying batteries, and is recharged by cable before an evening.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should you add a floor lamp to a living room lit by fairy lights?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Fairy lights give accent lighting, not reading light. In a living room, a floor lamp near the sofa completes the mood and saves you squinting at your book. The originality of a floor lamp is chosen afterwards: first the place, then the style.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Solar or rechargeable battery fairy lights: which to choose?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Solar suits a balcony or terrace that gets the sun, with no recharging to plan; the rechargeable battery takes over indoors or on a shaded balcony, since you recharge it from the mains. In both cases, check the IP rating before installing outside.\"}}]}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"suspension-bambou-ronde-tressee-japonaise-led-noreia","title":"Okinawa 40 Bamboo Wireless Pendant Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handcrafted bamboo lampshade in a bell shape with straight lines, to be hung above a patio table or under a pergola.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombines with the string light, lantern, and floor lamp 170 from the Okinawa series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal, Bamboo, Rope, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 39 x 28 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuminous flux\u003c\/strong\u003e: 900 lumens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000 K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source\u003c\/strong\u003e: Integrated LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery life\u003c\/strong\u003e: up to 20h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: IP54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control\u003c\/strong\u003e: Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipped within 10 to 20 working days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Newgarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774805365074,"sku":"LUMOKH040XXHWNW","price":204.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/8598\/2228\/files\/OKINAWA_HANG_1200X1200_2_3ca9edf6-e29d-4e4d-9cc5-1c923d93a097.jpg?v=1789824685"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/8598\/2228\/collections\/designix-entete-guirlande-lumineuse-sur-batterie-v1.jpg?v=1792589706","url":"https:\/\/designix-lighting.com\/collections\/battery-fairy-lights.oembed","provider":"Designix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
