A short run is enough, fixed with discreet hooks so as not to mark the wall. In the evening, it replaces the main light and leaves the room in a soft mood. See the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/guirlandes-lumineuses\"\u003eindoor string lights\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used as a night light in a bedroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, provided it is fixed out of reach of the bed and you choose a model without flickering.

For a table, a short, dense run is enough, with the cable hidden under the tablecloth.

It clashes with cool whites and bluish greys. The simplest rule: one dominant colour, a single accent, and the rest of the room in neutral tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich colours does yellow go with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beige wall, an oak piece of furniture or a brick wall take the tint effortlessly, because it echoes the light of a candle or an old street lamp. In a very white, very cool interior, the same string light looks bright yellow and breaks up the whole: in that case, keep it for a separate room, such as the terrace. The \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/guirlandes-lumineuses\"\u003ecoloured string lights\u003c\/a\u003e offer other pairing ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne tint or several on the same wire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single cord can take several colours when the manufacturer provides for it. For a consistent result, keep one dominant colour and a single accent rather than three alternating tints on the same wall. Note: the so-called bistro string light refers to round bulbs spaced along a visible cable, a style that can very well be yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"indice-protection\"\u003eColoured light string lights: indoor or outdoor, which protection rating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protection rating, shown as IP followed by two digits, indicates resistance to dust and water. An IP44 withstands splashes and is suitable under a canopy; an IP65 resists the elements and can stay exposed. Without an IP mention, a string light is intended for indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do IP44 and IP65 mean on a string light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first digit concerns solid bodies, the second water. The 4 of IP44 corresponds to protection against splashes, not immersion. The 5 of IP65 indicates protection against water jets: this is the marker to look for on a hedge or a pergola.

A cut section cannot be powered again at its end without a connector designed for that.

When storing, wind around a cardboard or a wide support, without tightening, and keep everything away from frost. A string light stored in a loop unfolds the following year without knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"alimentation\"\u003eWhich power supply to choose between 220 V, 24 V, rechargeable and solar?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e220 V powers without a time limit as long as a plug is within reach. 24 V goes through a transformer and allows long runs.
