Buying guides
Work out what you need before you spend anything.
Straight answers to the questions people actually ask us on WhatsApp, written out properly so you do not have to. No padding, real numbers, and we will tell you when the answer is to buy less.
- How many metres of series lights do you actually need?Measure the run, add 15%, and buy one length rather than two. Real numbers for balconies, windows, terraces and a full 2BHK.
- Warm white vs cool white: which to buy for which roomWarm for anywhere people relax. Cool for anywhere people need to see. The full explanation, with the Kelvin numbers that actually matter.
- IP20, IP44 or IP65: which lights are safe outdoorsIP20 is indoor only. IP44 handles a covered balcony. IP65 survives a monsoon. Getting this wrong is a safety issue, not just a wasted purchase.
- Series light stopped working? Try these six things firstAbout half the faults people report are a loose plug, a blown controller fuse or one bad LED. Work through this before you replace anything.
