2.1 Are the string lights with LED lighting?
Yes! All string lights from Cotton Ball Lights are made with LED lighting.
2.2 What is a USB adapter?
You can choose of USB or USB + adapter block when choosing your lightstring. If you choose to only do USB, this means that you will receive a stringlight that has a USB output as its end and not a plug. You put this USB output in a power bank. It is also possible if you already have a connection block at home (for example from a phone charger from Iphone or Samsung) where it is possible to replace the USB output, that you plug in the USB of our lightstring.
2.3 What should I do if my cotton ball has a dent?
Take a solid rod such like a satay stick or knitting needle. Stick this through the opening of the Cotton Ball and push against the dent from the inside. When the dent is completely gone, spray the Cotton Ball with water. You can do this with a plant sprayer. Let the Cotton Ball dry for 24 hours so the glue can harden again.
2.4 What is the length of the light strings?
You can find the length of all the cords in the size chart for each product under the size chart / info button. Here you get to see all the light cords with the lengths included!
2.5 What is a connector block?
A connector block is an adapter where the USB output fits. Through the terminal block you can plug the light chain into the outlet. You can choose different options when selecting your light chain. If you want the streamer to be delivered with a plug output, choose the option 'USB + connector block'. You can also order a separate connector block from us. If you choose the USB option, the pendulum will be delivered with a USB output, which you can put in a powerbank or connector of your phone charger at home for example.
