Questions people ask
Can it go outside?
It is IP44, which survives splashes, so a porch or a sheltered window box is fine and an exposed hedge is not.
How many LEDs are there per metre?
Ten, the same spacing as the longer sets here.
Does it have a timer?
No. It switches on at the battery box.
Are batteries included?
No, and the listing says so.
Why is it fifth?
Because it is the cheapest and well reviewed, but IP44 and five metres limit where it can go.
How many ratings does it have?
5484 at the time of collection, averaging 4.2 stars, with 67 per cent five-star and 9 per cent one-star.
