1 / 7Ropetam RPT-DCH-004 6 m, 40-LED Star Fairy Lights
Ropetam RPT-DCH-004 star fairy lights provide 40 warm-white LEDs along a 6-metre battery-powered string. Two listed light modes and a 1-metre lead before the first LED make them suited to small decorative displays away from a mains socket.
At a glance
- The 6-metre string has 40 LEDs, with 15cm spacing and a 1-metre lead before the first light.
- The listing describes twinkling/flashing and steady-on modes, controlled by a push button.
- Runs on 3 AA batteries, which are not included, so placement does not depend on a nearby socket.
- The listing claims IP44 for the lights but specifically says the battery case is not waterproof.

Listing details to confirm
Although the listing calls the string waterproof and claims IP44, it also describes the LEDs as submersible while specifying that the battery case is not waterproof. Treat the battery case as needing a dry location, and do not assume the complete set can be submerged.
