Street fairy lights

 

— outdoor garlands must meet a certain list of criteria for outdoor use. In particular, for street illumination, the degree of dust and water protection is not lower than IP44. Another obligatory aspect is the reliable insulation of the wires and the materials for the manufacture of the “wrapper” of the cord. It is desirable that the insulation be rubber or silicone — unlike PVC products, such wires do not lose elasticity and do not crack in frost. The advanced models of street garlands can be powered not from a socket, but from a solar battery, which accumulates a charge during the day and provides an autonomous glow of light bulbs in the dark.
