The ILED-FST-C is the colour-changing festoon line for the outdoor rooms: 48 feet of hanging string carrying RGB E27 bulbs, IP65 rated, running from the low-voltage adapter and controlled from the remote. It is the string that changes with the season and the event — warm white for the dinner, the theme colour for the party — without buying a new line per colour.
The RGB bulbs
The string carries RGB E27 bulbs, and the remote sets the colour per moment: the warm whites for the dinner service, the saturated colours for the party, the slow shifts for the seasonal display. Because the bulbs are the RGB source, the colour lives in the bulbs rather than in the fitting — a bulb swap later changes the palette without changing the string. The glass options at order cover clear, milky, frosted, amber and coloured, so the line matches the look the display calls for.
IP65 and the weather
The line is IP65 rated — dust-tight and protected against water jets — with the sockets sealed against the weather. That is the rating that lets the string stay rigged through the garden season: the rain on the patio, the watering, the dew on the hedges. Keep the adapter and the connections indoors or in a protected position, because that is the part no light string rates for full exposure.
Hanging and connecting
The string hangs from cup hooks, guide wires or zip ties through the built-in loops, and the listing quotes a 5-string connection limit from the female socket on the opposite end. For a longer line, run multiple connected strings from their own supplies and confirm the connection count with the sales team at order time. The guide wire is the commercial arrangement: it takes the weight and keeps the line straight across the longer spans.
The low-voltage supply
The bulbs run at low voltage from the supplied adapter, which keeps the garden side of the display at the voltage that is safe around the foliage, the fabrics and the guests. The adapter sits at the socket end and the low-voltage line runs the display, so the garden side stays at the voltage that is safe to handle while the string is lit.
Where it gets used
Patios and pergolas, where the 48-foot line runs the edge and the remote sets the evening. Gardens and hedges, wrapped along the borders on the guide wire. Christmas and holiday displays, where the RGB string carries every seasonal scheme in one purchase. Wedding and party marquees, where the colour follows the theme. And the café and bar terraces, where the line changes with the service and the season.
Positioning the line
Two decisions shape the placement: the run against the 48-foot length and the connection plan, and the socket against where the adapter sits. The string reads best where the eye crosses it at seated height — the pergola edge, the terrace line, the fence top — and the guide wire keeps it straight between the fixings. Plan the adapter position at the same time as the run, because the adapter is the one part that stays indoors, and the lead reaches it from wherever the display hangs.
What it is not
The string is a decorative line: it draws the edges and the shapes, it does not illuminate a workspace. The specification does not carry a warranty row, so confirm the terms with the sales team at order time. And the IP65 rating covers the string and the sockets — the adapter and the connections belong in the sheltered spot, which is the one part of the run to plan before the fixings go in.
