“I like the new design of led lights, the old ones I had decayed and crumbled to dust when I tried to change the bulbs but I have high hopes for the new one - fingers crossed.”

Dear Anon, Thank you for your post; I am sorry the old cable disintegrated like that and hope you very much like the new LED lights instead. Yours warmly, Kate

“I really liked the cotton ball lights, they were much brighter than other similar products I have had. I just expected them to come with a plug not a usb. I might have missed that in the description.”

Thank you dear Julia for your post; I am really glad you are so happy with your new lights. Yes, the new LED cables do come with USB ports instead of plugs which can take a little getting used to - you can use any adapted usb plug to plug them into a socket, such as a mobile phone charger plug. I hope you are able yo light them up now. Yours warmly, Kate

Dear Julia, Thank you for your post; yes the new LEDs are slightly brighter then the filament bulb cables but we did make them off / warm white to avoid the stark cold white glare you can get with most LED lights. The LED cables do come with a USB port on the end and so need an adapted plug to be used in a normal there-pin socket. I am sorry you missed this info online when you placed your order and do hope you have what you require to enjoy your new light set. The plugs can be bought on the high street as well as online with us, or you can also use a spare I-phone charger if you have one. I very much hope you can enjoy your new light set. Yours sincerely, Kate

“Lovely lights, and enjoyed making them up. Only issue was that everyone of the 19 green baubles had to be cut as no slit was visible at all.”

Dear Allison, Thank you for your post and feedback - I am sorry that every emerald green cotton ball was not slit to fit the new LED lights. These are a handmade product and while we make very effort to ensure they are cut to specifications this sometimes does not happen. Please kindly contact me on hello@cableandcotton.com if you need any replacements - whilst I cannot guarantee that these will be slit more widely, I can replace any balls compromised by the process. I very much hope you enjoyed them over the Christmas period. Yours sincerely, Kate

“I love the product and the lights look gorgeous when on and off which is great! However within the Christmas set I ordered the green lights had not been pre-cut so they took quite a while to set up.”

“Beautiful product but some of the lanterns did not have their slit so I had to cut one myself. Worked out ok but not exactly ideal.”

“The product is top rate. My quibble is availability. This was a gift for my daughter. She chose 6 colours. When I went to order, no USB PSU was available. By the time it was, one of the colours she wanted wasn't. By the time she ghad chosen a replacement colour, the USB PSU was out of stock again. So, in the end, she didn't get the colours she wanted and I had to buy the PSU elsewhere. This was a shame. The PSU is fundamental. You should get better control over your supply and stock.”

Dear Roger, Thank you for your post; I really appreciate your clear and concise feedback and will of course pass it on. It is that time of year when it is hard to predict what will sell out - especially colour-wise. We had a real run on pinks, blues and yellows this year - it was reds, greens and golds last year! So we try our best to predict trends as well as cater for them but sometimes we do run out... The plugs are necessary as you point out - I think running out of stock of these unfortunately coincided with the missing colour. We do get plugs back in again very quickly; they can also be purchased at hard-ware / electrical stores, and mobile phone charger plugs work with the LED cable USB port as well. I am sorry for the inconvenience you experienced and very much hope your daughter likes the colours she now has. If not, please let me know via hello@cableandcotton.com Wishing you both a very happy New Year! Yours warmly, Kate

“Service was great and live my lights but felt really deflated when I found that my daughter bought a very similar product elsewhere fir £6.99! Hmmm. I did think they were expensive”

Dear Anon, Thank you for your post, I am glad that the service was great for you, and that you love the lights too! I am glad your daughter found a bargain set of lights at a great price! I expect upon closer examination these are not quite the same as our lights (which are patented) and also that the colour range may not be as wide. I very much hope you both enjoy the light sets you have... Wishing you a very happy New Year! Yours warmly, Kate

Dear Helene, Thank you for your post and feedback - I am so sorry that one of your LED lights is not working and will of course help resolve this issue as soon as possible after the Christmas period. It is really rare for the new LED cables not to work and I do apologise; please kindly email me at hello@cableandcotton.com if you have not done so already and I will of course be of help. Wishing you a lovely Christmas... Yours sincerely, Kate

“I had problems with two sets of lights 12 months ago. Eventually all problems were sorted out. Lights look good this year.”

“Nice range of products but postage is a bit steap if you only need to order replacement bulbs.”

Helpful Report

Dear Simon, Thank you for your feedback. Just to let you know that until recently our spare bulb packs cost £2.95 and the post also cost £2.95. The warehouse then raised their charge for p&p by £1 so we decreased the cost of the bulbs (at our expense) to compensate. I hope this goes some way to explaining the disproportionate cost of bulbs to p&p. Yours sincerely, Kate

“The product is lovely but it didn’t come with a plug and it was not made clear this has to be purchased separately. I have ordered from this co in the past and a plug was provided.”

Dear RT, Thank you for your email; I am sorry you did not realise that the new LED cables do require a plug to use with the usb port unlike the old-style filament bulb cables. This does take some getting used to, but I very much hope you like your new LED lights now... Yours sincerely, Kate

“The fairy lights are lovely. A bit tricky to put together but look great, both lit and not. I found it really hard to choose my colours so a photo of all the colours with their names would have been very useful as one of the purples I chose was darker than I wanted. They are great quality lights and I love them.”
